In an update on the announcement that former WWE Divas Champion AJ Lee would be retiring from the company with immediate effect, the announcement has been the talk amongst everyone within the company since it was confirmed on WWE’s official website.

AJ was shown at the WrestleMania 31 pay-per-view on Sunday hugging Paige and telling her that she loves her, which could make one surmise that she had plans in place to retire. For those asking if Lee is potentially going to work the independent scene down the line, I am told that she is as good as retired from the business, however if she does work an independent event between now and then, there is no doubt WWE will hold her to the retirement claims until the official end of her WWE contract.

Meanwhile, through his official Twitter account, former WWE superstar CM Punk commented on his wife’s announcement by simply thanking her.
