AJ Mendez is best known for her time with WWE
Prior to WOW, Mendez, AJ Lee, was working with WWE. She became a three-time Divas Champion during her time with the company, and her last reign was in 2014.

Moreover, WWE sent Punk’s release papers the day AJ Mendez and Punk got married. This became a strain in her working relationship with WWE. While she tried to make the best of the situation, eventually she sided with Punk and did not work with WWE any further.
Of course, after Lee left the company, nobody knew if this was permanent or just something she had to do because of the situation then. Now that it has lasted for years, it’s a given she’s not coming back to WWE.
Keeping aside WOW, another potential promotion she could have relaunched her career with was AEW. When CM Punk debuted at AEW, many believed even AJ Lee would soon join him. In fact, the way Punk was a great addition to the men’s roster, Lee would have been a great addition to the women’s roster.
