10 WWE Superstars Who Ended Up With Surprising Jobs After Wrestling

10. AJ Lee - Writing And Advocacy

Former WWE Divas Champion and underrated stalwart of the pre-Women's Revolution era AJ Lee hasn't really looked back since leaving wrestling in 2015.

As well as setting up her own production company and writing a series of collaborative projects for the likes of DC Comics alongside actor Aimee Garcia, AJ Mendez Brooks has become an advocate for mental health awareness since publishing her hugely successful memoir "Crazy Is My Superpower".

As she put it to Fox Sports in 2017;

"Basically, I felt this book was the journey to discovering mental illness, and then saying, 'Oh, this okay, I can use this as a weapon, and it's actually a gift. It helps me see the world in different colors, and that's a good thing.' And the second book is, now what? How do you live with it every day?

Endless words of wisdom followed as the years passed, with Mendez Brooks becoming one of the more prominent figures from WWE's recent past to note the fundamental problems with how they stigmatise "crazy" in their storylines.
