AJ Lee retired from the WWE back in March, but it doesn't appear as though she's looking to continue her wrestling career elsewhere just yet.

According to Wrestlingheadlines.com, those close to Lee say that she isn't interested in taking bookings from any other affiliates right now after leaving the WWE shortly after WrestleMania 31.
Per the report, Lee's interest hasn't changed despite her recent appearance at Comic Con.

Regarding possible bookings, Lee's fee is reportedly $15,000 per day plus business class travel and hotels.
Lee carved out a great career in Vince McMahon's company, winning the Divas Championship on three separate occasions, and she still stands as the longest reigning Divas title-holder in WWE history with a 295-day run atop the division from June 2013-April 2014.
Now that she's away from the company, it is likely that Nikki Bella, who currently has held the Divas Championship for 249 days, will surpass Lee's previous record.
Lee left the WWE shortly after teaming with Paige to take out The Bella Twins at WrestleMania 31 at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif. on March 29.
The likely reason for Lee walking away from the company was due to her husband, former WWE Champion CM Punk, being sued by company doctor Chris Amann.
Punk walked out on the WWE in January 2014 and received his termination papers from the organization last June on his wedding day to Lee.
The Best in the World stayed quiet for nearly a year after his departure, but he appeared on his friend Colt Cabana's podcast last November to reveal why he left and he had harsh words for many people, including Dr. Amann.
He signed with UFC a month later with his first fight slated for late this year or early 2016.
Punk claimed Dr. Amann misdiagnosed him on several occasions, which also involved a concussion he allegedly suffered during his final night in the company at the Royal Rumble.
Dr. Amann responded with a lawsuit for libel against Punk and Cabana, which reportedly led to Lee retiring from the ring due to the rocky situation.
Lee stayed with the WWE after Punk walked out despite taking a couple of hiatuses, before finally leaving for good in March.
Punk told MMAFighting.com in an interview earlier this month that he doesn't watch wrestling anymore, but he'd be okay with Lee returning to the WWE after being asked if it was a relief that she cut ties with the organization.
"A relief? No, because I never minded watching her," Punk said. "I'm invested in her, so I'm interested in what she does. So was it a relief when she left? No. I really think she was working somewhere, she was doing what she loved and people were making it hard for her to work there, so it was a crappy situation. They made it so it was no longer ideal if that makes sense."
He continued: "We're trying to [move on]. It's funny, you do these interviews and people cherry-pick and they'll try to twist my words so they get the answers that they want, but she can go back tomorrow and I wouldn't care. You know what I mean? It's her decision."
While Punk is on board with Lee returning, the three-time Divas Champion isn't taking any bookings right now, from the WWE or anywhere else.
