#1 Ashley wins WWE Diva Search 2005
This is where it all began for Ashley Massaro.
Way before signing with WWE, Ashley appeared in a swimsuit pageant. There, she met a casting director who worked for WWE and found out about the WWE Diva Search 2005. She decided to try her hand at the competition.

Eight finalists were chosen to appear on Monday Night Raw on the June 7th edition. As weeks passed by, the WWE Universe saw one contestant get eliminated every week. On the August 15th edition of Monday Night Raw, Ashley Massaro was declared the winner of the 2005 WWE Diva Search. Ashley had revealed that her family was involved in amateur wrestling and that she wanted to train to wrestle in WWE. The victory came with a cash prize of $250,000 and a one-year contract with WWE, which was later extended and Ashley spent three years with the company.
