Diva suspended: After accidentally spilling some coffee onto a
mid-rampage WWE Chairman, Ashley felt the wrath of a manic Mr. McMahon.
Instantly, the scalded Chairman berated the SmackDown Diva and suspended
her indefinitely. When will we see Ashley again? Tune into SmackDown
each week to find out.
Diva Ashley Growing up in Babylon, N.Y., with a father, brother, and
uncle who competed in amateur wrestling, Ashley already had the
background and competitive edge needed to make it in World Wrestling
Entertainment. As a former gymnast, she certainly had the physicality.
And her model lookswell, need we say more? (We will, anyway.)
Prior to Ashley's suspension, 2007 was a banner year for the Diva. In
April, she raised the bar for Playboy when she graced the magazine's
cover. Just one month earlier, she appeared as Athena on the hit TV
series Smallville. Also in that short period of time, Ashley brought her
love for music to Fuse TV when she took part in a special edition of The
Sauce.
In the years leading to Diva Search, she was crowned Miss Hawaiian
Tropic USA in 2002, then Miss Hawaiian Tropic Canada in 2005. Her
multiple swimsuit calendar appearances have made men forget about the 11
other months of the year. And if youve seen any newsstands on fire,
dont be surprised if they were caused by her smokin-hot layouts in the
pages of Stuff, FHM, and Maxim, not to mention the covers of FLEX and
Femme Fatale. Brawn and beautyis it any wonder she won the 2005 Raw
Diva Search?
To be fair, there is more to this WWE Diva than meets the wandering eye.
A State University of New York graduate with a degree in Communications,
Ashleys greatest asset is that she knows how to keep in touch with her
fans, whether shes blogging about music on WWE.coms Bangin with
Ashley, or talking in front of television cameras. (She had even given
fans her phone number while she competed in the Raw Diva Search, though
she had to stop for obvious reasons.) Many TV execs have also noticed
this, judging from the fact she has hosted a special for Entertainment
Tonight, the 2006 Raw Diva Search Finale for USA Network, and numerous
Wild On shows that air constantly on the E! Channel. Her animated
personality even made her a big winner with viewers watching her perform
feats of clay on MTVs Celebrity Death Match.
Ashley makes sure that the United States Armed Forces dont forget about
her, either, and she has spoken proudly about being a WWE representative
visiting the troops overseas on CNBCs The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch
and MSNBCs Rita Cosby: Live and Direct. Youve got to feel for them,
she says. Theyre putting their lives on the line for us, and if any of
us can do anything to pay them back, I think we should.
Cherry is America's Sweetheart. The "mostly innocent" roller-skating
Diva made her SmackDown debut in the corner of her friends, Deuce and
Domino. When she's not appearing in or around the ring, she can be found
hanging on the arm of her boyfriend, Deuce. She is always in good hands,
because when Deuce isn't around, she's under the close watch of her
brother Domino.
Since her controversial tenure as image consultant for former WWE
Champion John Bradshaw Layfield, talented Diva Jillian Hall has looked
to become a force in WWE's women's division.
The stunning blonde relies on a broad arsenal of offensive tactics to
overwhelm her opponents, and record countless victories.
During the June 17, 2007 WWE Supplemental Draft, Jillian was drafted
from SmackDown to Raw. Following her move to the flagship show for WWE,
Jillian debuted the next night, where she teamed with Melina to beat
Mickie James and Candice Michelle for the win.
Kelly Kelly Bio
Diva Kelly Kelly When she debuted on June 13, 2006, Kelly Kelly became
the youngest diva in all of sports-entertainment. A self-proclaimed
exhibitionist, she put on strip shows dubbed Kelly Kellys Expos for
ECW fans and won several body competitions. After an ugly break-up with
Mike Knox, Kelly clinged to a pair of equally spicy Divas: Layla and
Brooke.
Together, the tempting trio known as Extreme Expos have dramatically
changed the face of ECW, beatifying it and, of course, making it simmer
with their divine dance moves.
Layla El, the winner of the 2006 $250,000 Diva Search, was born in
London and lives in Miami. Before becoming a spunky SmackDown Diva, she
was a dancer for NBA basketball team Miami Heat, and performed with
Kanye West during the MTV Video Music Awards. Layla has taken her hot
dance steps to ECW where along with Kelly Kelly and Brooke, she drops
the jaws of ECW fans in Extreme Expos.
During the Diva Search contest, Layla won immunity at Sgt. Slaughters
Diva Boot Camp obstacle course and she wowed the crowd with her dance
moves to clinch the Diva Search Talent Show. SummerSlam 2006 marked her
first appearance as a WWE Diva, when she was initiated by the other
Divas by a playful, wet spank-fest in the locker room showers.
Shes bubbly, shes beautiful and shes an object of desire for many
men. Shes Maria, and shes darn proud to call herself a WWE Diva. While
many may think shes ditzy or absent-minded, theres one thing thats
well-known: shes hot.
Diva Maria But hey, she wouldnt have it any other way. Maria has won
many beauty pageants in her time, but shes not just all beauty. From
kickboxing to sewing to dancing to working on cars, Marias areas of
expertise make her one of the best-rounded women in WWE.
After years of entering beauty pageants and an education at Northern
Illinois University, the Ottawa, Ill., native struck it big by nearly
making it to the end of the 2004 Diva Search. While she didnt win, our
fans felt an immediate connection to her, and she quickly made her way
to Raw as a backstage interviewer who wasnt afraid to ask any question,
from the hard-hitting to the quirkily obvious. And of course, she looks
great doing it, perhaps no more so than when Eugene doused her with
chocolate milk after winning the World Tag Team Championship that year.
Since her debut in WWE, however, Marias role in WWE has expanded by
leaps and bounds. At first, she was tentative to step into the ring, but
to this day continues to learn the ropes and develop into an exciting
and skilled performer inside the squared circle. She also hosts WWEs
Kiss Cam during Raw, and can be seen (or read, as it may be) lending her
auto expertise to our fans in her very own WWE Magazine column every
month.
And if theres one other thing thats for sure, its that the girl her
friends call Boop wont stop honing her craft until she wears the
Womens gold around her waist someday. So watch out all you stars and
studs in the locker room, because you never know when youre going to
get your dose of Maria.
Born in Los Angeles, CA, Melina started off her career as a fashion
model. Upon encouragement from friends she signed on with the WWE's
reality show "Tough Enough 3." Shortly thereafter she aligned herself
with Johnny Nitro, and the two have been inseparable ever since.
In April 2005, Mercury, Nitro & Melina made an immediate impact in their
SmackDown debut. Claiming to be the hot new team on the scene because of
their good looks and the celebrity circles they run in, MNM walked to
the ring on a red carpet with paparazzi photographers snapping pictures.
Interrupting the very first Carlitos Cabana, MNM attacked Rey Mysterio.
One week later in their first SmackDown Match, Mercury & Nitro defeated
Mysterio & Eddie Guerrero to win the WWE Tag Team Championship.
MNM also went on to have an intense rivalry with Batista & Rey Mysterio.
On the Dec. 16 edition of Friday Night SmackDown, Melina tried to seduce
Batista to get him to call off a match. Batista took the bait, but then
thanked Melina for the warm-up when it was over. That night, Batista &
Mysterio defeated MNM to win the WWE Tag Team Championship.
Two weeks later, Melina accused Batista of sexual harassment, and
announced that she would be suing him. That night, Mark Henry made his
return; he attacked Batista during a rematch for the WWE Tag Team
Championship, handing MNM their third reign as champions. Henry would
later attack Batista again during a Steel Cage Rematch before putting
the Animal out of action with an injury.
With Batista out of the way, Melina sold Henrys contract to Daivari,
and MNM was able to concentrate on the WWE Tag Team Championship again.
They began issuing an open challenge, offering any team an opportunity
to beat them to earn a chance at their gold. Matt Hardy answered, and at
No Way Out 2006, he & Tatanka defeated MNM; however, when the gold was
on the line the next Friday night on SmackDown, MNM was able to come out
on top. MNM later defeated Hardy & old foe Road Warrior Animal in
another open challenge before Paul London & Brian Kendrick stepped up to
the plate.
The challenge of London & Kendrick ended up being the beginning of the
end for MNM. After two months and five straight losses to London &
Kendrick, MNM lost the WWE Tag Team Championship to them at Judgment
Day. Nitro & Melina blamed the loss on Mercury, attacking him and
effectively putting an end to MNM as a tag team unit. To make matters
worse, Melina lost her singles match against Jillian in controversial
fashion, and Melina and Nitro went to General Manager Theodore Long to
protest the decision. When the GM refused to do anything about it,
Melina responded by slapping him right across the face. Melina's actions
would not prove to be wise, as Theodore Long fired her and Nitro on the
spot, effectively ending the couple's run on SmackDown.
Nitro & Melina made their RAW debut on May 29, but it was an
unsuccessful one as Nitro lost to John Cena after tapping out to the
STFU. However, Nitro did manage to score his first RAW victory the
following week when he defeated Charlie Haas; when Melina ran into the
ring and feigned injuring her ankle, Nitro used the distraction to roll
Haas up, using a handful of tights to help him get the victory.
WWE Diva Melina On the June 12 RAW, Nitro took on Carlito with Shelton
Benjamin sitting in on commentary; thanks to Benjamin's interference,
Nitro was able to defeat the Caribbean Superstar with an impressive
standing Shooting Star Press. It was later announced that all three men
would meet at Vengeance in a Triple Threat Match for the
Intercontinental Championship. The following week, Nitro & Benjamin
faced Carlito in a Handicap Match; while the two argued during the bout,
they held it together long enough for Nitro to pin Carlito once again.
At Vengeance, Nitro stole Carlito's pinfall on Shelton Benjamin to win
the Intercontinental Championship. Carlito nailed Benjamin with the back
cracker, but the opportunistic Nitro pulled him out of the ring and
pinned the champion. The next night, Nitro and Melina tried to attack
Trish Stratus, but Carlito came out to run them off.
The following week, Nitro defended his championship against Carlito who
was about to get the pin before Melina jumped in. This caused Carlito to
win by disqualification, allowing Nitro to keep the gold. This time it
was Trish who came to Carlitos aid to make sure he wasnt out numbered.
The next week on RAW the Divas went at it like they were out for blood.
Trish was about to hit Melina with some Stratusfaction, but Nitro caused
a distraction at ringside allowing Melina to get a roll-up pin for the
win. Carlito ran out before Melina and Nitro could double team Trish.
Instead, she and her cool tag team partner doled out double beatings and
double drop kicks on their opponents.
It all came to a head at Saturday Nights Main Event in a mixed tag
match where Nitro & Melina faced Carlito & Trish. Trish and Melina
traded punches outside the ring allowing Carlito to give the unaided
Nitro a back cracker and get the pin for the win. Trish joined Carlito
in the ring to celebrate their victory while Nitro helped a furious,
screaming Melina from the floor and back to the locker-room area.
With Carlito getting two wins over him, Melina better hope Nitro doesnt
have to face the Caribbean Superstar in a match for the Intercontinental
Championship.
Now that they're on RAW, red-carpet darlings Johnny Nitro and Melina
will look to make the same impact that they made in their 13 months on
SmackDown. While Melina gets hearts pounding with her unique ring
entrance, she's also a force to be dealt with around the ring, even
declaring herself "the most-dominant Diva in WWE."
Amidst the potatoes, corn and wheat typically grown on the sprawling and
spacious farms of Boise, Idaho, one of wrestling's most enticing Divas
emerged.
Torrie Wilson, a Boise native, has been one of WWE's hottest Divas ever
since debuting in 2001. Torrie got her start in WCW, but when Mr.
McMahon purchased WCW, she quickly made the transition to WWE. No matter
where Torrie Wilson is, though, she's always turning heads. In fact, her
beauty is so great, that it can easily make other WWE Divas jealous.
This could be a major reason why Candice and Victoria recently turned on
the 1998 Miss Galaxy.
Diva Torrie Wilson Ever since Torrie Wilson and Candice were traded to
RAW in 2005, they had been attached at the hip along with Victoria. The
three proved to be a dominant trio in the Women's Division, wreaking
havoc on all of the other Divas. But Candice and Victoria viciously
turned on Torrie during Candice's Playboy unveiling on RAW. Torrie was
slated to get her chance at revenge at Saturday Night's Main Event in a
tag team match. She was scheduled to team up with Trish Stratus to take
on her former friends, Victoria and Candice.
But after Torrie cost Victoria her match against Trish Stratus, she was
found knocked unconscious in the locker room by the Women's Champion.
Trish found an autographed copy of Candice's Playboy on her body, but
it's unproven whether or not Candice and Victoria were responsible for
the attack.
The vicious attack on Torrie appeared to be a culimination of events
over a period of a few weeks.
Candice became the latest Diva to don the cover of Playboy magazine, and
she was certainly excited. In fact, after a recent Torrie Wilson loss,
Candice said that losing didn't matter because she would be on Playboy
in a couple of weeks.
The following week Torrie Wilson accompanied Candice to the ring for her
Women's Championship opportunity against Trish Stratus. Candice went for
a pinning combination close to the ropes, and Torrie reached out to give
her extra leverage. The referee caught Torrie and broke up the pin.
Within moments, Trish recovered and scored the victory over Candice.
Torrie tried to apologize backstage to Candice, but the Playboy
covergirl wasn't hearing it. In fact, she answered Torrie's apology by
slapping her across the face. Torrie sucked it up, though, and went to
the ring with Victoria for Candice's Playboy unveiling.
Candice began to talk about how she was the hottest Diva to ever appear
in Playboy, taking a jab at Torrie, who was also a former Playboy cover
girl. Torrie decided to speak her mind and told Candice that she was
being selfish. Candice lured Torrie in with an apologetic hug, but then
she winked at Victoria and they attacked Wilson. Only time will tell how
and when Torrie will get her revenge on her former friends.
Torrie may not be a Women's Champion, but she does hold one major
distinction. She participated in the most-purchased match on WWE 24/7
Online - a Bikini Contest vs. Sable at Judgment Day 2002. Not only were
Torrie and Sable decked out in two of the hottest bikinis ever seen, but
they also sealed the match with a kiss that has to be seen to be
believed.
When asked to describe Mickie James in three words, the trio of smart,
beautiful and talented quickly comes to mind.
Diva Mickie James An honors student who played the violin as a child, it
was ironically a failed Trigonometry class in high school that sent
Mickie into the sports-entertainment world instead of college. Of
course, being the diligent woman that she is, Mickie did go on to get
her college education, earning an associates degree in business
administration and working on her bachelors all while traveling the
world as a WWE Diva.
Still, it was a long road from childhood dream to World Champion. After
training in Virginia, Mickie worked the independent circuit for several
years, learning everything she could from such Legends as Ricky
Steamboat, Ricky Morton and Bobby Eaton along the way. Finally, after
nearly a decade of paying her dues, Mickie made it to WWE, where she has
stepped into the ring both with and against long-time idols like Trish
Stratus on the way to becoming a multiple-time Womens Champion.
There is one thing Mickie likes almost as much as being a WWE Diva,
however: horses. Mickie has ridden since age 11, when her grandmother
bought her a horse named Rhapsody. She spent hours on her grandmothers
farm with Rhapsody and her other horses even to this day, and when her
days of being a Diva wind down, she holds aspirations to own a farm and
become an equine trainer.
Fortunately for our fans, that goal is far ahead in the distanceas long
as Mickie has something to say about it, anyway.
Im so glad that my path led me to where I am today, because I cant
imagine doing anything else, Mickie has said in the past.
And as long as she can continue to make her dreams come true, theres no
doubt that she can become one of the most recognized and decorated Divas
in sports-entertainment history.
Michelle McCool is one of SmackDown's most studious of Divas. The
beautiful and athletic McCool is a woman of many skills, having
participated in the first Diva Talent Invitational, and has gotten into
the ring to mix it up with the rest of the Divas on a weekly basis.
It will be interesting to see if the self-proclaimed brightest Diva on
SmackDown can learn to play well with others, or if she will continue to
be an independent study.
Victoria is one of the most vicious Divas in WWE history. Don't let her
impeccable good looks fool you. She may be one of the hottest Divas
around, but Victoria's beauty is only matched by a mean streak that has
helped drive her to two Women's Championships.
Armed with one of the most devastating finishing maneuvers in all of
professional wrestling, the Widow's Peak, Victoria had recently aligned
herself with two other Divas - Torrie Wilson and Candice. Being the most
accomplished competitor of the three, Victoria was often looked upon to
fill the enforcer role of the trio, but it was a role she gladly
accepted.
Diva Torrie Wilson But when three beautiful Divas such as Victoria,
Torrie and Candice are all sharing the spotlight, there's usually not
enough of the spotlight to go around - and this situation was no
different. Victoria and Candice turned on Torrie Wilson during Candice's
Playboy unveiling on RAW. The duo was set to face Trish Stratus & Torrie
Wilson at Saturday Night's Main Event - until Torrie was found laid out
in the locker room. Trish found an unconscious Torrie backstage at RAW
with an autographed copy of Playboy laying on her prone body.
Torrie's banishment from the trio developed over a few weeks. Candice
became the latest Diva to don the cover of Playboy magazine, and she was
certainly excited. In fact, after a recent Torrie Wilson loss, Candice
said that losing didn't matter because she would be on Playboy in a
couple of weeks.
The following week Torrie Wilson accompanied Candice to the ring for her
Women's Championship opportunity against Trish Stratus. Candice went for
a pinning combination close to the ropes, and Torrie reached out to give
her extra leverage. The referee caught Torrie and broke up the pin.
Within moments, Trish recovered and scored the victory over Candice.
Torrie tried to apologize backstage to Candice, but the Playboy
covergirl wasn't hearing it. In fact, she answered Torrie's apology by
slapping her across the face. Torrie sucked it up, though, and went to
the ring with Victoria for Candice's Playboy unveiling. Candice began to
talk about how she was the hottest Diva to ever appear in Playboy,
taking a jab at Torrie, who was also a former Playboy cover girl. Torrie
decided to speak her mind and told Candice that she was being selfish.
Candice lured Torrie in with an apologetic hug, but then she winked at
Victoria and they attacked Wilson.
The double cross should come as no surprise as far as Victoria is
concerned. Time after time she has proven that she will do whatever it
takes to get what she wants and to work her way to the top of the
Women's Division. Victoria made her WWE debut in August 2002, and within
just a few months she defeated Trish Stratus for her first Women's
Championship. Victoria and Trish have had some of the greatest women's
matches of all time over the years, and their rivalry appears to be an
ongoing one.
Victoria has also been a pioneer in the Women's Division. At
WrestleMania XX she defeated Molly Holly in the first-ever Women's
Division Hair vs. Championship Match. After defeating Holly to retain
her gold, Victoria humiliated Molly in front of a sold-out crowd at
Madison Square Garden by shaving her head.
Victoria has also shown over the years that she feels that success
should only come from hard work. She's a strong believer that nothing
should be handed to you in life. So it was no surprise that soon after
Christy Hemme became the 2004 RAW Diva Search Winner, that the fiery
redhead became Victoria's No. 1 target. Victoria backed up her attacks
with a win at Vengeance, proving that hard work does indeed pay off.
Ashley was the 2005 RAW Diva Search Winner, and she followed in
Christy's footsteps as an immediate target of Victoria. Only this time,
Victoria also had a numbers advantage with Torrie and Candice by her
side. Ashley was clearly outmatched, but the odds started to swing back
in her favor when Trish Stratus returned and came to her rescue. The two
sides had a back and forth rivalry, and Mickie James eventually came
into the fold as well. One thing is for sure, though. If Victoria feels
like she is being pushed aside, she won't stand idly by and accept it.
