Ashley Massaro sadly passed away today, Thursday May 16th. She was only 39-years-old. This is a terrible tragedy and our hearts go out to everyone involved in this situation.
Massaro was well-loved and preparing for a return to the ring as well. However, that will never happen now. Her cause of death has still not been released at this time.
Funeral services are set to take place this Tuesday in New York. In the meantime, the pro wrestling world is flooding the IWC with condolences and memories about Massaro’s career.
This is just to first of many reactions and there will certainly me more to come.
RIP, Ashley and thank you for everything.
I didnโt know Ashley well. But as an acquaintance, very recently, she seemed very bright and was great to be around.

The sadness and hopelessness can be very real, and we can all do better.
Talk to someone. Tell somebody you love them. It helps. Trust me.
OMG. RIP ASHLEY MASSARRO ๐ข๐

Ashley just started training at NYWC & was SO excited about wrestling again.
Always had a smile on her face & was one of the most down to Earth people you could meet.
If youโre going through tough times, donโt be afraid to reach out for help.
RIP Ashley Massaro

I have no words. Ashley was my tag partner at Wrestlemania. My sometimes road wife. We did countless photo shoots and press days together.
