AEW has made a notable change to its official roster page, removing a former WWE Superstar who has been part of the promotion for nearly six years.
The development comes several months after discussions about her future with the company, although neither side has issued a formal announcement confirming her departure.
The update was noticed on November 11, with Fightful also reporting the roster change.
The move follows an earlier revelation from AEW President Tony Khan that the wrestler had personally requested to be released from her contract.
Tay Melo removed from AEW Website following release request
The former WWE star in question is Tay Melo, who originally competed as Tay Conti in NXT. She joined AEW in 2020 after WWE released her and subsequently became a regular part of the women’s division.
Khan addressed her situation in July, explaining that Melo had approached him after competing alongside Anna Jay against Divine Dominion. Conti requested permission to step away from the promotion.

According to Khan, Tay Conti told him that she loved AEW and its people but wanted to take a break from professional wrestling. He also clarified that their conversation had been positive and that he intended to grant her request.
“I am gonna give Tay that release,” Khan stated while discussing the situation.
However, she later addressed speculation about her wrestling future in September. After a fan questioned whether she had retired, the Brazilian star responded that she hadn’t, leaving the door open for a possible return to the ring.
During her AEW run, Melo became particularly recognisable through her partnership with Anna Jay. The duo earned the nickname TayJay as they appeased fans. She also challenged Hikaru Shida for the AEW Women’s World Championship.
Although her removal from the website strongly suggests her AEW association has ended, neither Melo nor the promotion has officially confirmed the development. Her next move in professional wrestling therefore remains unknown.
