WWE Diva Fingered in Escort Ring?

A prominent female WWE star has been named as an employee of an L.A. escort service that the FBI is probing.

The FBI confirms to TMZ that there's an investigation into the Bella Models escort service in California and Florida, but wouldn't confirm the WWE star's role. Rolling Stone says that, according to the Bureau, the WWE babe, Playboy and Maxim models, and porn stars were employed by Bella.

We've put in a call to the WWE, but have yet to hear back.

UPDATE 4:45 ET: Not for nothin', but WWE Diva Ashley Massaro just put the following post on her MySpace page: "Just got buzzed on some BS that is going around. Dont [sic] believe it for a second. Getting in touch with my lawyer as we speak."

Story developing ...

16. I hope that she sues the FBI. It would be amusing.

17. Uh, Ashley Massaron won a $250,000 contract (which was renewed), she was on the cover of Playboy Magazine, Maxim, etc., was in "Survivor." I HIGHLY doubt this because she doesn't really need money, especially since they showed how big her house is (and it's pretty nice).

19. WWE made the right move to put the Women's Title on Mickie James instead of putting it on that troglodyte.

20. It says a lot to me that Ashley Massaro could only get in the Playboy-themed WrestleMania match because Candice Michelle got hurt. Having already gained publicity for WWE with the Playboy cover and next to last place Survivor run, there's not much left for WWE to do with Ashley. God knows she can't work a decent pro wrestling match to save her life. This "escort" business could turn out to be the last straw for her in that company.

22. I find it hilarious the Ashley fangurls and fanboys on the Ashley fan sites and wresting boards (average age: 12) are saying its all lies. Like she's going to admit she was a whore? Rolling Stone wouldn't have printed that without strong evidence. I bet this happened before she was in even in WWE. When she was just a lowly model whos main attraction was that she was a weekly cyber girl on Playboys site.

Hopefully McMahon will finally fires her. She has absolutly no wrestling talent and is getting uglier and uglier looking. I hope that she was better at that job that she is in wrestling!

23. Vince K. McMacmahon must be loving this story since he will get publicity for his "wrestling" company. Another bimbo lady wrester doing bad things outside the ring.

24. Lol!I always knew she was a whore. I just hope WWE realeases her.
Shes nothing but a ugly,fat,whore and I'm happy she got busted.
It's sad because alot of little girls look up to her.
Trashley Lives on!Maybe we'll get lucky and she'll kill herself.

25. It turns out that Ashley might actually be innocent. Dave Meltzer's Wrestling Observer site says there's a Las Vegas-based bikini model named Ashley Massaro who could be involved in this instead of WWE's Ashley Massaro.

26. soft core porn models working for an escort business? who would have thought it?

sure its just guys with money buying women...but i'm jealous dammit.

if i was in the fbi i would be dying to get info to start a case like that, or get assigned to that type case.

its not really a joke either considering how much money might be getting spent. there is also the potental for extortion since those pretty women can get important corprate or goverment official in compramising situations. that can become an embarresment for large industrys or the country and in a worst case, a national security issue.

if its true, they should tar and feather them all and put em in stocks on the court house lawn!, plus court costs and a 20% surcharge!

27. Not for nothing, but there is another model out of Vegas named Ashley Massarro,a blonde who's actually hotter than the more famous one. The two get confused for one another alot. That is probably the Ashley in question in this case.

28. I wouldn't be too surprised. She seems... less classy as some of the other women. She can't wrestle, she always winds up getting hurt somehow. They should have gotten rid of her long ago as she doesn't seem to last more than a month between injuries.

29. It's not the first case of mistaken identity then, if that's the case.

30. Maybe she did, maybe she didn't. But to say $250,000 a year contract makes her set you are wrong. Between Fed., Social Security and Medicare Taxes -Take home roughly half. If you have a publicist, accountant, manager or any other employees you have less than that. If she is contract labor she pays her own medical and disability insurance. That $250,000 is not going to bring her complete financial security.
