From former WWE Divas Champion to damsel in distress (seemingly), AJ Brooks (AJ Lee to WWE fans) certainly knows how to make a career for herself.
NFL stars Rob Gronkowski of the New England Patriots, Antonio Brown of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Buffalo Bills head coach Rex Ryan, and San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick are also featured.
Brooks retired as an active competitor from World Wrestling Entertainment on April 3, with WWE.com confirming the news: “AJ Lee (April Mendez) has decided to retire from in-ring competition with WWE. We wish AJ the very best.”
She last competed on pay-per-view in a Divas Tag Team bout at WrestleMania 31, teaming with Paige to defeat Nikki and Brie Bella. She then wrestled the following night, teaming with Paige and Naomi against Nikki, Brie and Natalya.
Brooks ended her run as a three-time Divas Champion for a combined 406 days, a record Nikki Bella is slowly approaching.

Do NOT miss this video. It’s hilarious. AJ is still as beautiful as ever. Here’s hoping she does more projects like this.
