01/21/08 Monday Night Raw - Hampton, VA 
Backstage Mickie James was folded up crying. Maria came over and asked what's wrong. Mickie said she's so frustrated that she can't beat Beth Phoenix. Maria said it'll be OK, but Mickie snapped back that it won't be OK. Ashley came over to check on what was going on, but she didn't seem too concerned about Mickie's struggles. Mickie left in a huff, then Ashley talked about her recent rendezvous at the Playboy mansion. She wanted to ask Maria the obvious transition question, but Santino Marella stepped in to interrupt. He said the answer is thanks, but no thanks. He doesn't need Maria to purchase him a Playboy subscription. Brilliant. Ashley was speechless. Santino reasoned, "Why buy the cow when you have someone to milk you for free?" Oh. Santino took Maria by the hand and dragged her away while Maria did her best not to crack up laughing. PWtorch.com

01/27/08 WWE Royal Rumble PPV - Madison Square Garden, New York City
Ashley knocked on Maria's locker room. Santino Marella answered. He said she couldn't answer her knock because she was preparing for her first-ever high-definition Kiss Cam. He said he didn't understand why anyone would want to see these ugly New Yorkers kissing. He said that's what's great about Maria; whatever you ask her to do, she does. He told Ashley to leave her alone because she's not interested in her or her "boobie magazine." He said he wishes he could vote her out just like they did on Survivor.

Later, Maria came out and did a minute of the Kiss Cam. Ashley walked out and said she got a call from Hugh Heffner. He wanted to know if she wanted to pose for Playboy. Maria laughed, but before she could answer, Santino came out and said the answer is no. "Nobody wants to see Maria with no clothes on," he said. He said those fans are of course going to cheer because the have nothing else to cheer. "Mets, Yankees, chokers," he said. "Ohhh, a mosquito, I'm scared. Let's lose the playoffs! Knicks, Rangers, not even good enough to be called chokers. In fact, the only thing you have to cheer for is a footbal team from New Jersey." He went on to make fun of Eli and other teammates, saying they look more like hairdressers than football players. He asked Maria to follow him out of the ring. Ashley grabbed the mic and said to wait a second. The crowd drowned her out with a "Let's go Giant!" chants. Ashley said the decision is Maria's, not his. She said, "I don't know. Do you guys really want to see me pose for Playboy?" The crowd cheered, but they didn't go mad crazy like you might expect. Santino said since the fans like to see "the boobies," here they go. Out from under a big tarp came Big Dick Johnson in bikini briefs and a Brady Patriots jersey. Ashley spanked him out of the ring. PWtorch.com

She landed a running splash in the corner before doing the Bronco Buster. Melina then took Maria face-first into the middle turnbuckle. Santino pleaded with Melina not to touch the face. Ross said Santino is looking at Maria as an investment, not a lover. Crowd was on its collective hands for the action here. Suddenly, the crowd came to life when Melina went for a sunset flip and she pulled Maria's pants down to reveal a leopard-print bikini bottom. Santino was beside himself. Maria scored the pin after blocking the sunset flip.

Immediately after Maria won, Santino stormed into the ring and wrapped his jacket around Maria's waist. Santino took the mic and screamed at the fans for taking pleasure in the exposure of her Maria. He said they're all fantasizing about Maria right now. Santino said Ross has even erected a small monument in his trousers. That got a laugh. They cut to Ross looking frantically at his pants. He was a good sport, playing along with Santino. Santino told the fans to mark his words that they will never, never, ever see his Maria in the Playboy. Maria looked down at the mat in dejection. Santino then whisked her away. PWtorch.com

Maria recently told Diva Dish she’s been as busy as a little bee lately. When she’s not in the Raw ring or sewing her own in-ring gear … well, our fans will just have to stay tuned to find out what Maria has been up to.

“There have been a lot of things going on. I’ve been extremely busy. I was in Connecticut and St. Petersburg, and the weather was beautiful,” she smiled. “But I can’t tell you what I was doing there. I can’t say a whole lot right now! Let’s just say that at the moment, my life is top secret, but eventually it will be very out in the open!” WWE.com

WebMaster's Notes: What The Hell!?!? I wonder what she's been working on. Hugh Hefner? Play Girl Magazine? Vince McMahon? Come on, what kind of breaking news is this supposed to be?

Post-match: Santino shuffled out an apology, then talked about the Playboy curse. Candice Michelle is injured. Torrie Wilson is injured. Ashley is...well...she's just ugly with those lip rings. Santino then gave Maria the ultimatum of Playboy or Santino. He gave her just one week to make up her mind. He said that unlike these losers, Maria, he's the one who really loves her. The fans groaned and booed. He then went in for a little tonsil hockey. Maria casually brushed him away, then Santino left. The fans chanted for Playboy as Maria showed that she was thinking in the ring. PWtorch.com

He said first he has arranged for her to wrestle "Glamazon" Beth Phoenix. Maria was wearing high heels.

As the match was about to begin, Santino said he just saw in small print she can only pose in Playboy if she beats Beth Phoenix tonight. He said this is the first time he was aware of this. The bell rang to the start the match. A determined Maria went after Phoenix, but Phoenix immediately powered her into the corner and stomped and kicked her. Santino said that he was the victim of some kind of conspiracy. Ross said, "That statement lacks a little genuality." Two minutes in, Candice Michelle walked to ringside. She distracted Phoenix, so Maria rolled her up from behind for the leverage pin. Santino made a great face, biting his index finger and trying to force a happy look. PWtorch.com

02/25/08 Monday Night Raw - Phoenix, AZ - Santino Marella/Carlito (w/Maria) vs. Hardcore Holly/Cody Rhoades
Maria, Santino, and Carlito came to the ring. Maria was sporting a Playboy bunny top. Carlito just kind of followed along like he'd rather be anywhere else but wrestling. The tag champs of Holly & Cody came out next. First match tonight is a repeat of the every-other-week program.

Santino and Cody started things off with Santino taking advantage of Carlito's knee to the back from the apron. The heels then took turns working over Cody. Lawler was too preoccupied with Maria to be concerned about the match. Holly eventually got the hot tag at 2:00 and the action stalled again. Lawler then chucked his crown at Maria to finally get her attention. Santino got distracted when he spotted Maria talking to Lawler, allowing Holly to give Santino the Alabama Slam for the win. Afterward, Santino screamed at Jerry stupid Lawler for interrupting. Ross said Maria's Playboy is on-sale March 7.

After Laya's sexy ring entrance, Santino tried to emulate it and almost tied himself up into the ropes. Layla was going to start the match, but Kelly was so aggressive in approaching her, she immediately tagged in Santino. Just as Styles explained that the men can only wrestle the men, Kelly and Kofi gave Santino a double-dropkick. Styles said, "Oh-kay then. I didn't expect that." Santino bailed out to ringside a moment later. Kofi dragged Santino back into the ring by finger-hooking his mouth from behind. Santino took Kofi down with a leg sweep and a clothesline.

Lawler asked the fans if they were ready for the sneak peek at Playboy's cover. Lawler asked for a drum roll. When he pulled of the covering, Santino Marella's face was pasted over Maria's face, each of her boobs, and her crotch. Santino walked out with a big smile on his face, saying, "Got ya! Got ya!"

Maria didn't look happy. Santino said she gave him no choice. He said she wouldn't listen to him. He said now when anyone tries to imagine her on the cover of Playboy, they'll imagine his face instead and have "an erectile dysfunction." Santino asked her follow him out. She said, "No!" Santino said he is the man. Maria said she is a woman and he won't make that decision for her. Maria said she's already posed for Playboy and she wants the whole world to see it. Santino asked what is wrong with her. He asked if it was "her timing of the month." He said she's acting crazy and making a scene. She said he's making a scene. He grabbed her arm. She yanked it away and said no. Lawler then KO'd Santino and threw the vandalized Playboy cover onto him. The crowd chanted, "Jerry, Jerry." Candice said there's another cover available. Then from the ceiling unrolled a gigantic cover shot of Playboy. Her facial expression doesn't convey her WWE persona at all. She's beautiful, but that shot looks like a generic Playboy model, losing the charm and innocence that makes Maria stand out in WWE. PWtorch.com For Pics - Click Here.
