-- Former WWE Diva Ashley Massaro will be a playable character in the upcoming SmackDown vs. Raw 2009 video game. You can see her digital character and info at the following link. Massaro was officially released from her WWE contract on July 9, a few weeks after the cutoff date for wrestlers under contract to appear in the annual video game. Former WWE Diva Joy Giovanni was released in early July 2005, but managed to make the final cut for the video game released later that year. Last year following the Chris Benoit double-murder suicide in June, THQ had to go to great lengths to pull Benoit's character out of the game and there was fear that the game would be delayed.
