Tay Melo future plans after AEW departure: What is next for the Brazilian star after her exit from the company?

Over the past year, there has been some debate about the future of Tay Melo.

Recent reports have indicated that Melo had requested her release from All Elite Wrestling, but AEW President Tony Khan insisted that Tay would remain with the company.

Then on November 11, it was revealed that Melo had been moved to the alumni section on the AEW website, indicating that she had departed the promotion.

Here are some potential Tay Melo future plans after her AEW departure.

Reunion with Anna Jay on the independent scene

While Tay Melo is now out of the company, this may open the door for Anna Jay to also leave AEW.

For now, Jay is still under contract and on the sidelines with a shoulder injury that requires surgery.

When she is healthy, it may lead to her needing to return to the indies to work off her ring rust before returning to All Elite Wrestling.

With Tay Melo now exiting, fans could see a TayJay reunion on the independent scene before long.

Signing with TNA Wrestling

Considering her experience with AEW and WWE, Tay Melo should get some interest from other promotions.

Signing with TNA Wrestling, Melo is someone who could add a great deal to the Knockouts division.

With the company looking to rebuild the Knockouts scene, Melo could find a more solidified role in TNA moving forward.

Tay Melo competing with the likes of Indi Hartwell, Shayna Baszler or Xia Brookside would give her a significant spotlight that was lacking in AEW over the past few years.

Returning to WWE

As previously mentioned, Tay Melo spent several years with WWE before ever signing with AEW.

Now that she has departed All Elite Wrestling, this could open the door for Melo to re-sign with WWE.

Considering her experience and in-ring ability, Melo may return to WWE to an even better role than she ever had in AEW in recent years.

Whether it be back on WWE NXT or finally making it to the main roster, Tay returning offers some intriguing possibilities moving forward.
