World Wrestling Entertainment
Ashley Massaro, came to WWE in June 2005 as a contestant in the 2005 RAW Diva Search. After beating the seven other chosen finalists, Massaro was declared the winner on the August 15, 2005 edition of RAW. She won $250,000 and a one year contract with World Wrestling Entertainment. Massaro made her first WWE appearance as an official Diva on the August 21, 2005 pre-SummerSlam edition of HEAT. This featured Ashley conducting interviews with the fans, including WWE Legends The Fabulous Moolah and Mae Young. Later that night, Massaro made her first appearance at a pay-per-view event when she joined the other bikini-clad divas in washing Vince McMahon's presidential limo backstage.
RAW
The following night on RAW, WWE Divas Candice Michelle and Torrie Wilson called out Massaro, claiming they wanted to welcome her to RAW. After Massaro came out, Michelle and Wilson turned heel and beat down Ashley. Massaro continued to feud with the two divas who were soon joined by Victoria. Victoria would later defeat Massaro in Massaro's first match.
Massaro was later joined by the returning Trish Stratus who helped Massaro fend off attacks from the three divas. The pair would defeat the three divas who became known as the Ladies in Pink (and later Vince's Devils) on several occasions including WWE's 2005 Unforgiven pay-per-view, and at the WWE Homecoming in a 3-on-2 Bra and Panties match. Massaro would continue to wrestle matches through the rest of 2005 and was involved in the annual Fulfill Your Fantasy Battle Royal at Taboo Tuesday for her first shot at the WWE Women's Championship. Ashley was able to eliminate Candice Michelle before being eliminated by Victoria.
One of Ashley Massaro's biggest wins to date came at New Year's Revolution 2006 when Massaro was able to win the first ever Bra and Panties Gauntlet match by being the final Diva left still wearing her clothes. Following WWE tradition, to please the fans, she removed them herself before making her exit.
Through the early part of 2006 , Massaro became the victim of a series of vicious attacks from a jealous Mickie James. At the 2006 Royal Rumble, Mickie defeated Ashley with then Women's Champion, Trish Stratus as the special guest referee. However, Massaro would get her revenge by pinning James in the rematch on RAW.
During the February 20, 2006 edition of RAW Ashley Massaro would suffer a fractured left fibula while being eliminated from the Women's Battle Royal. Upon further medical consultation, it was announced on WWE.com that because of the spiral crack in her left fibula, Massaro would need surgery. She underwent the procedure to have a plate positioned in her leg in March 2006. During her recovery Massaro would still occasionally appear on RAW as part of the Stratus/James feud, albeit in a non-active role.
On March 22, 2006, Ashley Massaro announced that she had signed a three year contract extension with the WWE.
SmackDown!
WWE.com announced on June 1, 2006 that Massaro would be the newest SmackDown! diva. She made her debut on the June 2, 2006 edition of SmackDown! as a special guest commentator during the Kristal Marshall vs Jillian Hall match. Upon debuting on SmackDown!, Massaro aligned herself with Jillian Hall as they feuded with Michelle McCool and Kristal Marshall. She won her debut match on the July 21,2006 edition of SmackDown! where she teamed up with Hall and defeated McCool and Marshall. At The Great American Bash 2006, Massaro won the Fatal Four Way Bra and Panties Match.
On the August 4, 2006 edition of SmackDown!, Massaro broke her knuckle in a match against Kristal Marshall. On August 16, 2006 she hosted the 2006 WWE Diva Search finale along with Todd Grisham.
Ashley returned to the ring on the September 9, 2006 edition of SmackDown! where she, Paul London and Brian Kendrick defeated Idol Stevens, K.C. James and Michelle McCool in a Six-Person Mixed Tag Team Match. Following the victory, Ashley became the manager for London and Kendrick, accompanying them to the ring for their matches on Smackdown! and PPVs. Ashley competed in the first ever Extreme Strip Poker segment on ECW on October 10, 2006 representing Smackdown!.
In the early part of 2007, Ashley began a feud with Jillian Hall. The feud was centered around Hall's jealousy of Massaro's Playboy appearance with Hall trying to prove that she was the most talented diva on Smackdown!. Ashley will reval her playboy magazine cover next week on smackdown!
