Ashley Massaro

Ashley Massaro Biography

Massaro grew up in Long Island, New York, where her brother and father competed in amateur wrestling. She received her Bachelor of Science degree in Communication with a minor in Business from the State University of New York.

The following night on RAW, WWE Divas Candice Michelle and Torrie Wilson called out Massaro, claiming they wanted to welcome her to RAW. After Ashley came out, Candice and Wilson turned heel and started beating down Ashley. Ashley continued to feud with the two divas who were soon joined by Victoria. Victoria later defeated Ashley in her in-ring debut match.

One of Ashley's biggest wins to date came at New Year's Revolution 2006 when Ashley 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, Ashley 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, Ashley got her revenge one week later by pinning James in the rematch on RAW.

During the February 20, 2006 edition of RAW Ashley suffered 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, Ashley would need surgery. She underwent the procedure to have a plate positioned in her leg in March 2006. During her recovery, Ashley still occasionally appeared on RAW as part of the Stratus/James feud, albeit in a non-active role.

She has competed in Miss Hawaiian Tropic pageants and was crowned Miss Hawaiian Tropic USA in 2002 and Miss Hawaiian Tropic Canada in August 2004. She has appeared in FHM, Stuff, Maxim, and on the cover of Playboy after joining WWE though she had previously posed for Playboy under the name Ryan Mackenzie. In addition, she has appeared in both Femme Fatale, and FLEX magazines. Ashley has also hosted several E! channel Wild On! episodes and even appeared on Breaking Bonaduce as Danny Bonaduce 's personal trainer. Ashley has hosted Celebrity Death Match and has guest starred on an episode of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition alongside WWE Superstars John Cena and Batista.

In February 2007, Ashley and Kane filmed an episode of the CW's Smallville that aired on March 22, 2007. In April 2007, Ashley also appeared as a guest on Fuse TV's show The Sauce. On April 20, 2007, Ashley, Torrie Wilson, Maryse, Brooke, Layla El and Kelly Kelly all filmed Timbaland's video, "Throw It on Me" featuring The Hives.

Massaro was a contestant on CBS's Survivor: China. She claims that she approached WWE with the idea of doing the show, and after going through the casting process, she found out she made the show ten days before she had to leave for China to film it. Prior to the experience, Massaro had never been camping before, so to train for the show she had to get used to being outside. She was voted out on the second episode, after six days in China.
