AJ Lee is a former three-time Divas Champion and was once the longest reigning Champion in WWE history, but her in-ring career came to an abrupt end back in 2015 when it was announced by WWE that AJ had retired from wrestling.

AJ didn't have an emotional speech on-screen, instead taking the time to thank her fans on Twitter before she revealed in her autobiography that her career was cut short due to an injury. The former Champion stated that the discovery of permanent damage to her cervical spine was the catalyst for her retirement.

AJ Lee was just 28-years-old when she retired from the company and had only been wrestling for eight years. She has since focused on writing her memoirs which were recently reported to be in the process of being made into a TV series next year.
