Over the last few days, there’s been speculation on social media that a former WWE star could be coming out of retirement to potentially wrestle for AEW.
The speculation has been surrounding the former AJ Lee (AJ Mendez) after she posted some photos on Instagram that show her in tremendous shape. She recently noted that she has “been bulking” and that is the genesis behind the speculation amongst fans on Twitter, Instagram, and elsewhere.
The former WWE Divas Champion confirmed today on Instagram that she is still retired. She included the following caption with the photo below: “retired athlete.” Mendez is keeping busy as she’s been filming scenes for season 2 of the Heels TV show that airs on Starz.
If you are wondering why AJ has no plans to wrestle again, CM Punk explained this in 2021. He said, “The reason she stopped wrestling is because of her neck. She’s got a bad neck, you know. I wouldn’t want her to jeopardize [her] health and neither would she, so we’ll put an end to that rumor right now.”
