Maryse has not competed in a WWE ring in over five years. Come April 2nd at WrestleMania 33, that streak will be over as Maryse teams with her husband, The Miz vs. Nikki Bella & John Cena in couple vs. couple mixed tag-team match.
Maryse spoke to the Orlando Sentinel newspaper about the upcoming match, her career and her husband. Here are some highlights from the interview:
“I have so many emotions. I’m excited, I can’t wait, but I do have some butterflies. … I’ve proved in the past that I can accomplish big things, but I’m coming back so people can see what I can do.”
How Have You Prepared For The Match?:
“Let’s just say, I’m good. Nikki should be scared”
“I love playing a character,. When I see fans in the street or at meet-and-greets, it’s great. Sometimes they want me to be that person they see on TV, take a picture with a hand in their face or ask me to ‘be mean like you do.’ But I can’t play that character 24-7. Before I cross in front of the curtain, I flip a switch and become that Maryse. There’s no career like it”
On Herself & The Miz As A Couple:
“We’re just a good couple. We complement each other really well, help each other 24-7 and have a really good time. Playing our characters – I mean, we come from Hollywood, so we’ve got that. We don’t think twice, we just do it.”
“It’s going to be a heck of a week. Everybody’s starting to get that feeling that it’s WrestleMania, it’s a huge deal. It’s really exciting – I can’t wait.”
