The April 28th, 2008 edition of Monday Night Raw saw Ashley compete in a WWE ring for the last time. The 12-woman match pitted Ashley, Michelle McCool, Maria, Kelly Kelly, Mickie James, and Cherry, taking on Layla, Melina, Beth Phoenix, Jillian Hall, Victoria, and Natalya.

2 months later, Ashley was released from her WWE contract on July 9th. As her release date approached, she revealed that the reason for her WWE departure was that she wanted to tend to her daughter, who was sick. Ashley was just 28-years old when she left the promotion, and sacrificed her career to take care of her loved one.

Upon Ashley's death, fans flocked in on social media, talking about how she was one of the kindest wrestlers they have ever met. Some even went on to post screenshots of their wholesome chats with Ashley, which further cements the fact that she was a genuinely good person who cared for her fans, and was someone who wouldn't flinch one bit while sacrificing her career for her family.

Abhilash Mendhe is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda with nearly five years of experience. He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
