– Regarding AJ Lee possibly working the indies now that she’s retired from in-ring competition with WWE, there’s been no indication yet that she plans on wrestling at all. It’s expected that because she retired, WWE will likely keep her locked in until the end of her contract.
– As noted, former WWE Diva AJ Lee has a new book coming out in the future from The Leshne Agency. While AJ just publicly commented on the book deal this past Tuesday, it’s apparently been in the works since at least February. When AJ called Stephanie McMahon out on Twitter about equality in WWE, which was in February, Lisa Leshne of The Leshne Agency wrote the following on Twitter: “Proud of @LeshneAgency’s client @WWEAJLee for speaking her mind. Can’t wait for her book! #UseYourVoice”
WWE and NXT talent Alex Riley has come under scrutiny on Twitter after posting a tweet that seemed to be directed at AJ Lee. Riley posted the following tweet late Saturday night:
I just got 4-3-15 tattooed on my neck
— Alex Riley (@AlexRileyWWE) April 5, 2015
This tweet is likely in reference to the fact that AJ Lee has the date of her first Divas title victory tattooed on her neck. Lee retired from WWE this week after several years with the company. She has not responded to the tweet or been active at all since news of her retirement broke.
Following the post, Riley was bombarded with tweets from fans criticizing him. Riley recently returned to the ring after a lengthy absence to pursue color commentary.
