WWE’s Twitter teasing a Miz/Maryse split

This is probably nothing. It’s a one-off social media posting from a weekend house show, without any basis in the ongoing, on-screen story playing out on SmackDown.

But, hey, we’re not hanging out on the internet to not over-react to trivial asides.

So let’s wonder about this Tweet from yesterday’s live event in Des Moines asking if Maryse’s WWE career would be better off if she started working solo, without her husband The Miz...

The French-Canadian beauty does have a pretty successful track record as a singles performer. After coming into the company via the Divas Search, Maryse twice captured the infamous butterfly belt before taking her leave. And as a featured star of the new season of Total Divas, WWE may want to shine a spotlight on her.


Even with the title, Mrs. Mizanin was always a character-first performer, however, and especially as WWE tries to push their women’s division as being athetically equal to the men, she might not be the best fit there. And fans’ appreciation of and critical acclaim for Miz really began when she returned after WrestleMania 32 to serve as his manager.

There have been none of the traditional kayfabe signs a break-up or split is imminent, either. Sure, they lost the Intercontinental title at No Mercy, but not because of miscommunication between the couple. If they want to raise Maryse’s profile, they can do it a lot more easily by moving Miz up the card than by trying to relaunch her singles career.

What do you think, Cagesiders? Would WWE split the A-Listers? Should they?

What does everyone think of this bullshit? Gets no buys from me. I'd rather keep Maryse.

It's asinine. I'll take back Maryse and they can throw Bo and Axel back on Main Event.

Maybe she wants babies, she said she wanted 4 kids on that Table for 3 show. not getting any younger.

The reason given is because they don't want Mike and Maria Kanellis overshadowed by a similar heel couple.

I did love the run with Maryse but Miz has been on his game for a long ass time so him switchin' to an Entourage gimmick will help keep him relevant throughout the Summer as he dominates the IC division.

you're talking about a company that changes people's names because it's too similar to another performers name.

Mike and Maria seem's awfully close to Miz and Mary's. ....

 

[Dale]

Makes zero sense. They're supposedly doing away with Maryse because it conflicts with Maria and whatever the dudes name is, so they give him 2 goons instead which sounds all too familiar to a certain SmackDown world champ

 

[Deezy]

Group of Indo-Canadians is totally different than a group a of white guys

 

[Kiffy Lube]

Miz's mic work alone will put it over the Singh Brothers especially with how scripted Mahal is comin' off. It's also a midcard storyline so they can take more liberties with the segments.

Maryse coming back really is what helped the Miz last year. His GOAT run started the night she came back on that RAW after Mania. Miz will be fine tho; he's too talented. Just wonder if they're taking Maryse off TV all together or if she'll be doing something else

 

[Deezy]

She recruits her fellow Divas to take on these women's revolutionaries who talked down their accomplishments and what they gave to the business

 

[Crippler]

can't have two separate relationships on two separate shows

If that's the reason it's so fucking stupid.

Miz and Maryse have proven to be a much more over and to me better heel couple than Mike and Maria. Sure Miz will be fine on his own, but they're better together.

And if they're on 2 different brands it shouldn't matter.

This is the WWE over thinking it. What a stupid decision.

 

[Crippler]

the more i think about this the dumber this is, like why wouldn't you want two couples then have ICW geeks and other compare, then maybe in a year or 2 have them throw subliminal shots at one another then build to a one-off match. Then, have the two couples go off again on SEPERTATE FUCKING SHOWS and never be talked about again. FUCK!
