Ashley Nichole Lomberger (née Simmons, formerly Cabot; born February 5, 1986) is an American professional wrestler trained by Jeff Cannon. She currently works for Wrestling/{{TNA}} under the ring name Madison Rayne.

Simmons began her wrestling career on the independent circuit wrestling under the monikers Ashley Lane and Lexi Lane, calling Ohio Championship Wrestling her her home promotion. She represented the all-female promotion Wrestling/{{SHIMMER}} Women Athletes in 2007, where she was one half of the first-ever Shimmer Tag Team Champions with partner Nevaeh, until In 2009, she joined TNA, aligning herself with Wrestling/AngelinaLove and Wrestling/VelvetSky as part of Wrestling/TheBeautifulPeople. In March 2010, she, along Lacey Wrestling/{{Von Erich|Family}} and Velvet Sky won the TNA Knockouts Tag Team Championship, with the three defending the title under the Freebird rule. In April 2010 at Lockdown, she won her first of five TNA Knockouts Championships. In addition, she was the first one to hold both titles simultaneously. Later, Rayne would win the Ohio Valley Wrestling Women's title after it struck up a developmental deal with TNA. She also made appearances in Wrestling/{{Wrestlicious}} as Amber Lively.


!!QUEEN TROPES

* TournamentArc: At the OCW [[GirlsNightOutEpisode Ladies Night Tournament]], Lexi Lane defeated ODB to become the first Ohio Championship Wrestling Women's Champion

* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: {{Defied|Trope}}. After Karen Jarrett was forced to leave the position and named her as the new "Vice President Of The Knockouts", Madison Rayne fired [=TnT=] only to be overruled.

* BashBrothers: Big Guns Jeff Cannon, Nevaeh, Lorelei Lee, Tracy Brooks, Lones Oaks

* SlasherSmile: One of the reasons Lexi Lane was supposedly "miscast" as a face wrestler. She can seem malicious or creepy even when she's flashing a genuinely friendly smile.
* StalkerWithoutACrush. She had frequently arranged her schedule in hopes it would intersect with Krissy Vaine's, who Lane really wanted a match with. Lane always missed her by a hand breath but Vaine's unavailability is what lead to Rayne joining The Beautiful People, as she was close by and deemed a suitable substitute.

* TheBeautifulElite: In TNA. She was a member of a group ''called'' "The Beautiful People'', with their own sorority, and pretty much kept this gimmick when she went solo. Outside of TNA this usually was not the case, although she did have a "too good for the plebeians" gimmick in Heartland Wrestling Association and NEPW's affiliates.
* TheBully: Various clips popped up around the the web of her and Nevaeh hazing one of Fantasy's students, part time wrestler Sumiko. Hellena Heavenly's site shows Lane cutting her open with a nail, the kind you hammer into wood.
* TheCavalry: She, Nevaeh and Wrestling/CheerleaderMelissa tried to save Wrestling/MsChif from Wrestling/SaraDelRey and [[Wrestling/KiaStevens Amazing Kong]], which really just [[FromBadToWorse attracted the attention of]] Wesna Busic and Annie Social. Still, this resulted in "Melischif" [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown taking less of a beating over the course of the resulting SHIMMER volumes]], as she and Nevaeh provide more targets for them. The good guys did prevail in the end, but not because of this trope.
* TheMole: For The Beautiful People in their efforts to humiliate Taylor Wilde.
* TheNapoleon: She (and Nevaeh to a lesser extent) may have been the baby faces but they still came off this way when trying to prove they weren't intimidated by the "Death Kongs", who absolutely dwarfed them and then started tagging along with another much larger wrestler in Wesna Busic for added measure.
* TheRival
** Lexi Lane's first was Jayme Braxton, from the very day she debuted in Ohio Championship Wrestling. A month in, Wrestling/{{Ivory}} was called in to referee one of their matches.
** One of her first in Ohio was future tag team partner Nevaeh, who ended her first title reign. And after their reign as SHIMMER tag team champions was ended by the Canadian Ninjas and she went to TNA, Nevaeh would become Rayne's opponent again and eventually join a new team called the SNS Express.
** The Radiant Rain and The Lovely Lacey were the first team Ashley Lane and Nevaeh beat when they started teaming in SHIMMER and they faced stiff opposition from The International Home Wrecking Crew for sometime afterwards, having plenty of fights in other feds too. Rain's lack of amusement with "Lane's" TNA, work for instance. Lane (and Lively) opposed also Lacey (and White Magic) away from SHIMMER.
** Never won the OCW Women's Championship back from Wrestling/SaraDelRey. Del Rey and Amazing Kong beat the stuffing out of her and Nevaeh multiple times but never managed to win the SHIMMER tag team title belts from them. Partially because [[DisqualificationInducedVictory they tended to go way too far]] and partially because Del Rey was too selfish.
** Nicole Matthews, due to her close association with Lane's former tag team partner, Portia Perez and the fact that Perez and Matthews faced her in several SHIMMER matches.
** Lane and Cheerleader Melissa were friends. Rayne and Raisha Saeed were enemies. Alissa Flash...varied.

* AmazonianBeauty: [[http://muscle.iuhu.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/madison-rayne-flex-till-you-re-famous.jpg As seen here]]

* GirlNextDoor: Lexi Lane's initial gimmick. So nice and sweet fans were ''almost'' scared at the though of being turned on by her(she always kept it classy)...Madison Rayne's killed that gimmick dead.

* PantyShot: Amber Lively did this with her cartwheels.

* MiniDressOfPower: The [[BareYourMidriff bare midriff]] version. A favorite selection since her post-TBP [[TheMakeover makeover]]. Though early into her "post Beautiful People" career she instead veered into DangerouslyShortSkirt.
