Tay Melo says she was nervous about how fans would respond to her pregnancy announcement.
Before the AEW world title match at Double or Nothing, Melo and Sammy Guevara announced they are expecting their first child. Considering AEW crowds haven't always been kind to the couple, Melo was surprised with the positive reaction they received, referring to the moment as "pretty special."
She told TMZ Sports:
"We didn't know what to expect. We talked about it before and I'm like, I don't know, maybe the crowd is going to boo and we just need to be ready for it because we never know what to expect," Melo said.
"They were so excited which made it so much better. I was, like, about to cry because I was not really expecting the love. So, it was pretty special," she continued.
Guevara also spoke about the fans reaction in Las Vegas that night.

"The crowd's coming back around on me," Guevara said. "We were not always the most loved people out there. For them to give us that big reaction. Everyone's happy, showing us the love. It was just like, overwhelming in a way where I was like, ok, we gotta get back into it."
Earlier in the conversation, the couple spoke about how they pitched announcing their pregnancy at Double or Nothing.
Melo said:
"The timing was perfect because it was at about three months so we were comfortable to say it. I was like, 'Well, let's talk to TK, see what he thinks, and then let's go, let's do this."
"A cool and special moment for sure," she continued.
Melo hasn't wrestled in AEW since January but plans to continue her in-ring career following the birth of the couple's child. She noted on a recent Instagram Stories post that she wants to get back in the ring as soon as she can.
