What does AJ Lee do now?

Since stepping out of the wrestling ring in 2015, AJ Lee, also known as April Mendez, has been keeping busy with a variety of projects.

From writing books to advocating for women in wrestling, here’s a peek into what she’s been up to lately.

As an author, her memoir “Crazy Is My Superpower” soared to the top of the New York Times bestseller list in 2017, sharing her wrestling journey and personal battles.

She also ventured into children’s literature with “Resta the Wrestler,” a book aimed at boosting self-esteem and body positivity, released in 2020.

Venturing into screenwriting, AJ co-penned the script for the upcoming Netflix flick “Blade of the 47 Ronin,” currently in the final stages of production.

Expressing eagerness for more writing and producing gigs, she’s poised to make waves in the entertainment world.

Beyond the pen and paper, AJ has taken on a role as an Executive Producer at Women of Wrestling (WOW) since 2021, advocating for female wrestlers and helping to uplift the promotion. She even dabbled in commentary for WOW’s weekly TV show in 2022.

While keeping active on social media and cherishing moments with her spouse, former wrestler CM Punk, AJ Lee continues to explore new avenues of creativity.

Her commitment to storytelling and empowering others ensures her fans eagerly anticipate her next move, even if it’s outside the squared circle.
