An ex-WWE star made a blockbuster return to AEW after over two years of absence on tonight's edition of Fyter Fest Dynamite. Tay Melo, one of the most popular female stars in the company, made her comeback. She signed with WWE in 2016 and performed on the NXT brand. However, she was released in 2020. Meanwhile, she made a name for herself in AEW throughout the years.

Despite being on great momentum, Tay Melo took a long hiatus from the squared circle as she was pregnant. She wrestled her last AEW match on Rampage back in January 2023. The 29-year-old star was cleared to wrestle in 2024 but wasn't brought back on TV. Her in-ring return took place at STARDOM earlier this year.

After waiting for almost 29 months, Tay Melo finally made her long-awaited return. Megan Bayne and Penelope Ford have been troubling Anna Jay and Harley Cameron for the past few weeks. After the evil duo ambushed the latter last week, they targeted Jay tonight. However, Anna's old friend, Tay, made the save.

Fans were happy to see the former WWE star return to the Jacksonville-based promotion. It will be interesting to see if the team of Anna-Tay will take down Megan-Penelope.
