Massaro was a favorite of WWE television producer Kevin Dunn because it was through his project, the Diva Search, that got her discovered. Also, it was Dunn's call to put her on the CBS reality show Survivor last year, which created a lot of second-guessing.

Massaro's last match took place at the 4/28 Raw in New Jersey in a 12-Diva rematch from the night before at the Backlash pay-per-view. Massaro's final WWE appearance took place at the 5/5 Raw in Toronto. She and a number of other Divas crowded the ring as lumberjacks for a Mickie James vs. Beth Phoenix title match. The story from Rolling Stone broke out the previous Saturday, so she would have already been on the road. Coincidently, or perhaps not so coincidently, Ashley was never seen in WWE again after that headline-grabbing week even though there were no reported injuries of her.
