7 Ups And 7 Downs From Last Night\'s WWE Raw (May 4th)

AJ Lee’s retirement is right before the WWE embarks on their annual post-WrestleMania european tour.

This is always one of the most gruelling times for a WWE superstar. The schedule is unforgiving, with a straight run of shows and a long period away from home. It is made even more challenging by the travelling involved, with long flight times and lengthy bus rides.

AJ clearly timed her retirement to avoid the hassle of the european tour. She stuck around for the reward of WrestleMania, then upped and left before the hassle of the post-Mania touring schedule.

In the wider context, travelling the road has likely heavily influenced her decision to quit. Long periods away from her Chicago based husband can’t have been easy. It must have felt like her life was being wasted away in cars, airports, airplanes and other boring transits.
