Ashley Massaro - Biography

Ashley Massaro is most known for her punk image in the WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment), after winning the 2005 Diva search contest.

Before her arrival in the WWE, Ashley Massaro achieved Bachelors of Science in Communications at the State University of New York, and modeled years prior to being a WWE Diva, some of her accomplishments include being crowned Miss Hawaiian Tropic USA in 2002 & posing for Playboy Magazine under the name Ryan MacKenzie.

On August 15 th 2005, Ashley Massaro won the 2005 WWE RAW Diva Search Contest, after competing throughout the Summer, and was immediately booked in a feud against Torrie Wilson & Candice Michelle, who would later be joined by Victoria. Trish Stratus soon after made her return assisting Ashley who was abused by Candice, Torrie, & Victoria over weeks following her Diva search win. This lead up to September 18th, 2005 at the Unforgiven Pay Per View where Trish Stratus & Ashley Massaro defeated Victoria & Torrie Wilson w/ Candice Michelle. Trish & Ashley were later joined by Mickie James, and continue their feud against Candice, Torrie and Victoria. During this time, Ashley did a layout for the January issue of Maxim Magazine and the photos were a hit with fans.

Her alliance with Mickie James then changed. Mickie who played an overly enthused Trish fan became jealous of Trish's friendship with Ashley Massaro and attacked Ashley on consecutive Raw shows, which lead to a grudge match. On January 29th, 2006 at the Royal Rumble, Mickie Jamies defeated Ashley Massaro with Trish Stratus as the guest referee, Mickie then confessed that she loved Trish, pushing the storyline in a lesbian direction. The next night on Raw, (January 30th, 2006), Mickie James had celebration for Trish Stratus, however Ashley made a spectacle of the segment, and dubbed Mickie as being a Psycho, much to the arenas delight.

On February 20th, 2006 on RAW, in a Women's Battle Royal, Ashley Massaro suffered a broken leg, and had to undergo surgery. Before being pulled off of television, she did however make one appearance on March 20th, 2006 in a RAW segment, where she was kidnapped by Mickie James, who injured her in the segment. The segment served great for continuity, Ashley then stayed off television while the WWE sold the story that Mickie James injured her.

Ashley made her return to WWE television months later as a Smackdown diva on June 2nd, 2006's edition of SmackDown. Ashley then went on to compete in Diva contests and matches against fellow Smackdown Divas, including Kristal Marshall, Michelle McCool and Jillian Hall. In September Ashley then became the valet for Paul London & Brian Kendrick.

In late 2006, the WWE began to promote Ashley as the next Diva to pose for Playboy. A feud between herself and Jillian Hall then developed and carried over into 2007 to promote Ashley's 2007 Playboy Magazine spread.
