Tay Melo reacts to her return to the ring after almost two years away.
At STARDOM New Year Dream on January 3rd, Tay would return to the ring after 22 months away after having her first child with Sammy Guevara. Tay would team with Mina Shirakawa, coming up short to Athena and Thekla at the event.
In a backstage interview after the bout, Tay reacted to her return to the ring, noting that she is 'literally in love' with Japan.
"I really have no words, I'm a crybaby. So I just cry because I'm so happy. I don't even have anything to say. It's like so cliche, but it's really, it's just a feeling like I'm exploding. I want to scream, I'm so happy to be in the ring. My first match back after so long with Mina, Athena, Thekla, just like big names and I'm there. I'm with the best. We lost, but I know I did good. I will keep training. I will do better. I'm just so happy, grateful because Mina helped me so much. Everybody was so nice. I'm literally in love with Japan. Maybe I'll move here soon. I really love Japan. So I'm just so grateful."
Tay Melo reflects on her in-ring return after 22 MONTHS, while Mina Shirakawa gives her a full throated endorsement.
