AJ Lee Retires from WWE: Latest Details, Comments and ...
After nearly four years on WWE's main roster, it was announced Friday that Diva AJ Lee has decided to retire from professional wrestling.
bleacherreport.comHere’s the latest I could verify:
-
AJ Lee (April Mendez) has not returned to in-ring competition since her retirement announcement years ago, with most reporting indicating she remains retired as of 2024–2025. However, there have been ongoing fan buzz and occasional media speculation about a possible comeback, driven by CM Punk’s own public visibility and AJ’s occasional media appearances.[1][5][7]
-
Notable retirement references: AJ Lee publicly declared retirement in 2015 after WrestleMania 31, and subsequent reports have framed that retirement as permanent, with her pursuing other ventures rather than in-ring comebacks.[2][3][4]
-
Current status: No credible, authoritative reports confirming a formal return or imminent in-ring appearance as of early 2026. Most credible outlets treat her retirement as longstanding unless new announcements surface.[5][1]
If you’d like, I can monitor up-to-date sources and summarize any official confirmations the moment they appear, or pull together a quick timeline of her career and retirement for context.
