RIP Ashley Massaro. My heart goes out to her family.
Be kind to everyone because you don’t know what someone may be going through. 💙🙏🏼— Velvet Sky (@VelVelHoller) May 17, 2019
I have no words. Ashley was my tag partner at Wrestlemania. My sometimes road wife. We did countless photo shoots and press days together. It seems like yesterday Ashley was a major part of my life and then our worlds changed and now she is gone. Im heartbroken for her family. https://t.co/QTcNxN3P0K pic.twitter.com/olaTWKD9JS

This is just awful news – Ashley Massaro is gone. She was only 39. She lived in the same town as me…I loved seeing her around. She was always so nice…and now she’s gone. #RIPAshleyMassaro pic.twitter.com/wOUY4gsTQo

Ashley started her wrestling career when she participated in the 2005 Raw Diva’s Search and was declared the winner of it. Her win earned her $250,000 and a one-year contract with WWE.
A week after the win, she started getting involved in storylines after Candice Michelle and Torrie Wilson attacked the new female star.
She was moved to SmackDown Live in 2006 and after spending a couple more years in the company, Massaro left the promotion to take care of her sick daughter in 2008.
