WWE veteran and reality TV star The Miz recently opened up about the possibility of his wife, former two-time WWE Divas Champion Maryse, returning to WWE. In an insightful conversation with Adrian Hernandez of Unlikely, Miz revealed that Maryse remains open to a WWE comeback—but only if the “right opportunity” arises, keeping the door firmly ajar for future appearances or in-ring action[5][2].
Maryse’s WWE Hiatus and Legacy
Maryse last appeared in a WWE ring in early 2022, competing alongside The Miz at the Royal Rumble pay-per-view, where they defeated Edge and Beth Phoenix. Since then, she has maintained a low profile in wrestling, occasionally appearing in WWE-related segments and events, such as Evolution 2 where she was spotted in the crowd, but without in-ring involvement[1][2].
As a top competitor during the Divas era, Maryse made a lasting mark as a charismatic and accomplished athlete, capturing the Divas Championship twice. Her ability to blend wrestling savvy with compelling mic skills contributed to her popularity among WWE fans worldwide.
Reflecting on Iconic Moments: Wrestling and Wedding Aisles
During the interview, Miz fondly recalled one of his career’s highlight moments: teaming with Maryse in high-profile tag matches, including their WrestleMania 33 bout against John Cena and Nikki Bella. He described the unique thrill of walking down the ramp at WWE’s biggest show with his wife, comparing it to walking down the aisle at their wedding.
“It’s so cool— not many people get to actually do what Maryse and I got to do: walk down the aisle at our wedding and then walk down the aisle in our career on the biggest stage of all, WrestleMania,” Miz shared. “That was a really cool moment”[2].
This emotional blend of personal and professional life highlights the special chemistry the couple brings whenever they share the spotlight in WWE.
What Could a WWE Return Look Like?
The Miz emphasized that Maryse’s return depends entirely on the right storyline or opportunity presenting itself. This suggests that WWE creative would need to craft a significant angle or role that excites both Maryse and the company. Their history of engaging storylines as a team—such as their Hell in a Cell 2018 victory over Brie Bella and Daniel Bryan—demonstrates their potential to add star power together once more[1][5].
Sources close to WWE creative indicate there have been ongoing internal discussions about leveraging Maryse’s experience and star appeal in ways that could enhance current storylines, particularly alongside The Miz, who remains an active and prominent figure on WWE programming. According to a WWE insider:
“Maryse’s charisma and familiarity with the audience are huge assets. If WWE offers the right creative package that respects her time away and elevates her character, she would seriously consider coming back”[1].
Industry Context and Fan Interest
Fans have long clamored for Maryse to return, not only as an in-ring competitor but also in a managerial or authoritative role given her proven on-screen presence and mic skills. Her chemistry with The Miz has been repeatedly praised, with many pointing to their dynamic as one of WWE’s best real-life couples successfully integrated into storylines.
WWE’s evolving landscape of blending reality with scripted drama makes the Miz-Maryse duo a valuable commodity. This openness to a potential return aligns with WWE’s recent history of resurrecting popular personalities when it fits both business needs and performers’ personal goals.
The Miz’s Broader Commentary on WWE Dynamics
Beyond Maryse, The Miz also touched on his admiration for other WWE couples such as Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch, and AJ Styles with CM Punk, highlighting how wrestling couples walking down the ramp together creates memorable moments for fans and enriches storytelling. These reflections reinforce the unique niche Miz and Maryse occupy, combining genuine personal life moments with wrestling drama[2].
Future Prospects and What Fans Can Expect
While Maryse has not committed officially to returning anytime soon, the statement “if the right opportunity presents itself” leaves considerable room for speculation. She might reappear for special appearances, reunite with The Miz for tag team matches, or even take on a fresh role in WWE’s evolving women’s division.
Given WWE’s penchant for surprising fans with unexpected returns—even after extended absences—Maryse’s potential re-emergence could be a significant storyline development in the coming months or years. Wrestling insiders suggest:
“Maryse returning would inject nostalgia and star power. It’s all about timing and the right creative direction, but WWE sees her as a valuable asset for the future”[1].
Conclusion
The Miz’s candid comments have sparked renewed interest in Maryse’s WWE future. While no concrete plans have been announced, the couple’s history of captivating fans together and Maryse’s stellar legacy ensures she remains a meaningful figure in WWE conversations. For now, fans and WWE insiders alike wait and watch, hopeful that the “right opportunity” does come along.
