Missing AEW Star Finally Returns After 2 Years
AEW has a long list of stars that have been missing for a long time now, but one of them has finally made their return after 2 years on the sidelines.
The mystery over Mariah May’s AEW absence was solved when The Glamour made her WWE debut as she arrived in NXT. There are, however, plenty more missing stars with major question marks hanging over their future. Wardlow, Keith Lee, and Britt Baker have not been seen in quite some time, while mystery continues over Jack Perry’s AEW absence, with the star seemingly healthy enough to be used in the ring.
But now another AEW star who has been missing for almost 30 months has made their long-awaited return at Fyter Fest.
TayJay Reunites At AEW Fyter Fest
Anna Jay has had her troubles with Megan Bayne and Penelope Ford in recent weeks, and at Fyter Fest, the duo struck, threatening to throw Jay off the stage.
However, before the worst could happen, Tay Melo made her surprise return, nailing Ford with a kendo stick before security got between her and Megan Bayne.

The last time AEW fans saw Tay Melo in action was all the way back in January 2023 when she was part of the acclaimed tag team street fight, which saw her team with Anna Jay in a losing effort against Willow Nightingale and Ruby Soho.
Melo was initially out of action thanks to injury before she took maternity leave as she had her first child with fellow AEW star Sammy Guevara. The Brazilian grappler was back in the ring for Stardom in January 2025, where she teamed with Mina Shirakawa.
