WWE fans, get ready to be wowed this Friday night on SmackDown. Tune in to see the unveiling of Ashley’s Playboy magazine cover. The Diva is overjoyed to share the sexy sneak peek of the April issue with WWE fans.

“The Playboy cover came out so, so, so hot. I love it. It’s really a great shot,” Ashley told WWE.com. “It’s a good little teaser to what’s in store once the fans can open the magazine and see what’s on the inside.”

Ashley had the honor of choosing the cover photo, and the decision was not any easy one.

“From the start of this photo shoot, when I found out I’d have final say, I was like, ‘Wow, that’s so sick. What a great option to be able to choose my own cover.’ ” Ashley said.

“But I didn’t realize the downside of it either. Picking that one final picture out of thousands is really stressful,” Ashley explained.

“Because it’s like what if I’m picking the wrong one? I can’t believe it’s up to me! This is crazy! Someone else pick!”

(Come on, Ashley – as if there could be any bad shots?!)

So the SmackDown Diva asked Playboy and WWE pals for assistance choosing the cover photo. The group picked the magazine layout photos first, then the cover.

“Playboy had narrowed it down to five, but they still brought all the thousands of slides to go through if I didn’t like the five. I happened to like the five,” she said.

“Then we narrowed it down to three and then to one. They all seemed to be happy with it. Everybody picked this one.”

“In my opinion, I really dig the cover shot. And I’m really happy that I’m happy with it,” Ashley smiled. “It’s just a really pretty picture. It shows my good side.”
