Something that absolutely needs to be considered is that AJ Lee is a very rich woman. She was probably making a healthy $300,000 downside in WWE, in addition to royalties that would've been very good when you consider her spot and top selling merchandise. In the space of her six years with WWE, she's probably became a millionaire in her own right. Plus, she's married to a multi millionaire. CM Punk was one of the very top earners in WWE, both in his downside and royalties. He was making millions per a year with the company. As such, AJ is in a position where she never needs to work for money again. She's financially set for life. That had to have made her decision to quit WWE a whole lot easier.
