- PWInsider has a new report with more information regarding AJ Lee’s recent exit from the WWE. The report suggests that Lee had been planning to retire for some time based on her post-match scene with Paige at WrestleMania 31, where Paige appeared to be hugging AJ goodbye.
Per the report, AJ Lee was in a tough position due to the recent conflicts between WWE and her husband CM Punk. As mentioned by Punk on Colt Cobana’s The Art of Wrestling podcast, WWE fired Punk on his wedding day with AJ Lee. In addition, it was difficult because WWE was supporting staff doctor Chris Amann after he filed a lawsuit against Punk and Cabana based on Punk’s comments on the podcast. Punk claimed that Amann refused to treat and misdiagnosed a growth on his back. Per Punk’s account, the growth turned out to be a MRSA staph infection. After the lawsuit was filed, WWE asked AJ Lee to return to TV from a neck injury.
It is currently unknown if Lee still plans to wrestle on the independent scene. The report speculates that WWE will likely hold her to her contract if she is in fact “retired.”
Opinionated View- I would hope if AJ wanted to keep wrestling they would grant her a release. It would be the first time WWE has granted a release for someone who wanted out and it wouldn't be the last.
