Tay Melo has been announced for the upcoming Stardom event on January 3, her debut for the promotion.
The match, which will see Melo team with Mina Shirakawa to face Athena & Thekla, also marks her return to the ring for the first time in nearly two years.
Following a match on Rampage in January 2023, Melo had taken time off following news of her pregnancy, welcoming her newborn daughter alongside husband Sammy Guevara.
The AEW talent, who has been cleared since August and preparing for an in-ring return, posted on social media to thank fans for their support:
Guevara and daughter Luna will be joining her for the trip to Japan, with Guevara set to defend the ROH Tag Team Championship with Dustin Rhodes against Sho and Yoshinobu Kanemaru of House of Torture at Wrestle Dynasty on January 5.
