Tay Melo issues statement after she and Anna Jay lose AEW women’s tag team titles tournament match
As seen during the November 19th 2025 edition of AEW Collision, Tay Melo and Anna Jay lost to Marina Shafir and Megan Bayne in an AEW women’s tag team titles tournament match. Afterwards, Tay issued the following statement via Twitter/X…
“Tonight was hard. When the world shut down during Covid, Anna and I used to talk about one day competing for these tag belts. Five years later, that dream finally became real… and losing in the first round hurts in a way that’s hard to explain.
We believed in this moment so much. We poured so much of ourselves into this team, into growing together, into giving everything every time we stepped in the ring.
Sometimes things don’t go the way you hoped ,even when your heart is all in. It is what it is.
But I’m grateful for everyone who’s been on this journey with us and for all the love you’ve shown. Thank you for caring as much as we did.
I love you Anna Jay…”
