Perhaps another factor in AJ's retirement decision is rumoured troubles in her personal life. Maybe her decision wasn't so much about supporting Punk's career, but more about just supporting their marriage. Speculation has been rife on social media that the pair haven't been getting along lately. Punk tweeted "Do I listen to pop music because i'm miserable? Or am I miserable because I listen to pop music?" on March 23rd. It is a quote from the film 'High Fidelity', referencing the end of a relationship. There were also conflicting reports that AJ unfollwed and re-followed Punk on Twitter. If the relationship was close to breaking up, less than a year after marriage, then you can understand why AJ quit WWE. Saving her marriage would always come before her job. Punk has a notorious reputation for being dark and difficult. He has a history of failed relationships, hence why it was so surprising when he actually married AJ last year.
