Ashley Massaro, better known simply as Ashley (born May 26, 1979 in Babylon, Long Island, New York) is a model and Diva currently working for World Wrestling Entertainment's RAW brand. She is the winner of the 2005 RAW Diva Search.
World Wrestling Entertainment
Ashley Massaro came to the WWE in June 2005 as a contestant for the 2005 RAW Diva Search. Massaro competed against Leilene Ondrade, Cameron Haven, Elisabeth Rouffaer, Kristal Marshall, Leyla Milani, Simona Fusco, and Summer DeLin during the seven week contest. After beating the seven other contestants, Ashley was declared the winner on the August 15, 2005 edition of Raw.
WWE Diva
Ashley made her first official WWE appearance as a hired Diva on the August 21, 2005 pre-SummerSlam edition of Heat to conduct interviews with the fans, including WWE Legends Fabulous Moolah and Mae Young. Later that night, Ashley made her first appearance at a pay-per-view event, with Candice Michelle, Maria Kanellis, Stacy Keibler, and Torrie Wilson as they washed Mr. McMahon's limo in bikinis.
The following night on Raw, Candice Michelle and Torrie Wilson called out Ashley, claiming they wanted to welcome her to Raw. After Ashley came out, Candice and Torrie then turned heel by attacking her. Thus, starting Ashley's first feud in WWE. Ashley was beat up by Torrie, Candice and Victoria for the following two weeks, until she wised up and brought the returning champion, Trish Stratus out to even the odds.
At the 2005 Unforgiven pay-per-view, Trish and Ashley defeated Torrie and Victoria (with Candice). After Ashley disrobed Candice on Raw the following night, the Ladies in Pink demanded a bra and panties match at WWE Homecoming, to which they lost.
After a debuting Mickie James allied herself with Trish and Ashley, Massaro was involved in the annual Fulfill Your Fantasy Battle Royal at Taboo Tuesday for the Woman's Championship and a regular battle royal on Raw, but did not win either.
On the January 2nd, 2006 edition of RAW, Ashley came to the ring to defend fellow WWE Diva Maria Canellis against the Ladies in Pink stable. She proceeded to take out Candice Michelle and Torrie Wilson with a double clothesline, and tackled Victoria but eventually got caught with a double DDT by Torrie and Candice, branded a "Double D.....DDT" by Jonathan Coachman. Mr. McMahon eventually announced via WWE.com Unlimited that Ashley, along with the 4 other women involved in the altercation, would take part in the first ever Bra and Panties Gauntlet match, which will be held at New Years Revolution 6 days later. Ashley went on to win the match by being the final Diva left still wearing her clothes (although the final elimination, which she gained on Victoria, was somewhat aided by inteference by The Fabulous Moolah and Mae Young who had already removed Victoria's top). After the match, Ashley gave the fans a treat by stripping down to her bra and panties.
Fued with Mickie James
Ashley would get another chance to challenge her friend Trish Stratus for the WWE Women's Championship at the RAW following New Year's Revolution. Ashley did win the match, however it would be by DQ when Mickie James (who had just fought Stratus 24 hours earlier at NYR for the Women's title) interfered and turned heel by attacking Ashley, thusly earning Trish the DQ but safely retaining the belt seeing as the title could not change hands via DQ. A visibly upset Ashley went to the back followed by Trish, who was attempting to try to apologize for James' actions. Ashley told Trish that as long as Mickie was hanging around with Trish, she was going to stay away from Trish after calling Mickie a psycho.
On the January 23 edition of RAW Trish Stratus teamed up with Ashley to take on Victoria and Candice. When Mickie James found out about the match, she confronted her idol, Stratus, and wondered why she was tagging with Ashley instead of her. Mickie was broken up about it, but said she’d have to learn to accept what Trish wanted to do. Trish and Ashley worked well as a team, and Ashley was able to land a flying bodypress on Victoria for the pin. Following the pinfall, Mickie James ran to the ring and attacked Ashley. Trish tried to separate them, but Mickie went right back at Ashley and leveled her with a Mick kick. Mickie finally left, but the damage had been done. It was later announced that Mickie will face Ashley at the Royal Rumble and Trish would be the special referee. Ashley lost to Mickie James at the Rumble. Trish Stratus didnt look too happy.
Trivia
Ashley entrance music is Audioslave's Be Yourself.
