Who is Maryse Ouellet?

Born in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, Maryse is a former WWE wrestler who signed with the company in 2007. WWE signed her after winning the Diva Search in 2006. Two years later, she started making regular appearances on SmackDown.

Maryse’s gimmick was one of a snobby and villainous French girl. She was a side character in the Divas’ Division until she challenged Michelle McCool for the championship in 2008 at WWE pay-per-view, Unforgiven.

She could not win the championship, but she got elevated to an important figure in the division. Maryse eventually won her first championship from McCool at the end of 2008.

Maryse became involved in various feuds and became the major attraction of her division. She held the Divas title for 214 days, which is the third-longest reign in the history of the Divas Championship. She lost the title to Mickie James in 2009 at Night of Champions.

The Frenchwoman underwent knee surgery after losing her championship and then returned to RAW for a battle royale. She once again challenged for the championship after the title got vacated because of Melina’s injury.

WWE held a tournament to determine the next Divas Champion, and Maryse won the title again after defeating Gail Kim.

Maryse became the first woman to hold the strap twice. She had the Divas title for 49 days before Eve Torres defeated her.

After Maryse lost the championship in 2010, she had a brief stint as Ted DiBiase’s manager until she underwent surgery once again. WWE then released her from her contract after two months of inactivity. 

How did Maryse meet The Miz?

When Maryse was contesting in the Divas Search back in 2006, she met her future husband for the first time. The Miz was hosting the contest, whereas Maryse wanted to secure a contract.

The former Divas Champion revealed how her first meeting with The Miz went on WrestleTalk TV. She said she couldn’t speak English at the time, and The Miz just rubbed that in her face.

“He was just like, ‘You can’t speak English. What are you doing here? You can’t work with the biggest sports entertainment company in the world if you don’t speak a word of English,” Maryse said (h/t Bustle).

The Miz has also given her point of view on how the first meeting with Maryse went with Cosmopolitan.

“She was picked, but we didn’t start dating then. About a year later, we started talking after one of the Raw events. I was like, ‘Man, if only I could get a girl like this. One of these days, I will get a girl like this, and I will be so happy.’ And I did!” The Miz said,

The IT couple of WWE got married in 2014 in the Bahamas.

The two welcomed their first daughter, Monroe Sky, in 2018, and their second child, Madison Jade, was born in 2019.

Miz and Maryse also have their reality TV show called ‘Miz & Mrs’ on E! Network.

The IT couple’s appearances in WWE

Ever since 2016, Maryse has become Miz’s on-screen manager. She has helped her husband to keep his titles on multiple occasions.

Also, the couple has feuded with other real-life couples of WWE. Miz and Maryse feuded with John Cena and Nikki Bella, leading to a massive match at WrestleMania 33. It was Maryse’s first match in over six years.
