However, Tay Melo’s return is still some time away, as she revealed on Twitter. She replied to a fan who said the missed her on TV, explaining that she still has a “couple more months” until she is ready to wrestle after having her first child.

Tay Melo Thought Fans Would Boo Her Pregnancy Announcement
Tay Melo did not expect the reaction she got to her pregnancy announcement on AEW Dynamite.
In an interview with TMZ Sports [via Fightfu], the Brazilian wrestler revealed that she was prepared for the crowd to boo her and Sammy Guevara when announcing her pregnancy, due to the pair’s heat with the crowd.
Luckily, they all cheered and wished the young couple well.
“It was pretty cool, we didn’t know what to expect, and we talked about it before,” Melo said. “I’m like, I don’t know, maybe the crowd is gonna boo, and then we just need to be ready for it because we never know what to expect. They were so excited, which made it so much better. I was about to cry because I was not really expecting the love, so it was really special.”
