Tay Conti has recently became Tay Melo recently, and has now given a full reason as to way.
In a new interview with Denise Salcedo, Melo commented on the reasoning behind her sudden name change on AEW TV.
“Short term I just changed my last, which is like a restart for me. Everybody knows that was my ex’s last name. I got married but I never really had a wedding. I never had a wedding. I had pictures in Brazil because I was modeling. So I just took some pictures back in Brazil with my ex because the model that I was supposed to do the photoshoot with got sick. I have never had a wedding before… I never changed my name legally, I just put his name on my work name, so I was like ‘well it doesn’t make sense to have his name, I gotta change it,’ so I put my real last name.”

Time will tell how long the name change will last but for now Tay is happy to be using her real last name once again.
