5 wrestlers WWE probably regret letting go

#4. AJ Lee

WWE recently celebrated five years of the Women's Revolution and if there's one Superstar who deserves credit for the WWE Women's Revolution, it's AJ Lee.

The former WWE Divas Champion was one of the finest in-ring competitors WWE had in their women's division a few years ago, and to add to that, she was also phenomenal on the mic. She provided the WWE Women's Division the initial spark it needed and thanks to her in-ring and promo skills, AJ Lee became a fan favorite.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

A three-time Divas Champion, she decided to retire in 2015 from professional wrestling. While she stated that damage to her cervical spine played a huge part in her retirement, it was also known that WWE's on-going issues with her husband CM Punk, led to AJ Lee's departure.

Considering the amount of depth in the WWE Women's division today, with the likes of Becky Lynch, Asuka, Charlotte Flair, Rhea Ripley, Kay Lee Ray, and Io Shirai being a few top names across all three WWE brands, AJ Lee's involvement would've definitely given us some of the biggest dream matches.
