WWE star Maryse recently spoke with ESPN.com and below are some interview highlights:
Why Raw is besting Smackdown in the ratings:
“Even though we think SmackDown is the better show, they’ll look at it as ‘Oh, Raw gets more ratings. Raw is automatically better.’ Raw has 25 years behind it, they’ve been on Monday night for decades; we just started SmackDown on Tuesdays. It’s just going to take a while.”
On her relationship with The Miz:
“We just love to joke around. It’s been a lot of fun, it sounds cliche when you say you work with your husband all the time, we’re on SmackDown Live, we’re filming Total Divas, and now we’re going overseas for the tour with the WWE, so it’s a lot of stuff, but somehow it’s really fun. Somehow being together 24/7, we’re like best friends.”
On The Miz playing Fantasy Football while on their Honeymoon:
“There’s an episode of Total Divas where we go onto my honeymoon and basically, you know, I was very excited because we got married in 2014 and I’ve never had a chance to go on my honeymoon. We finally got four days off, which we never get; between SmackDown and Total Divas, we get no days off. We get four days off and we go to the Bahamas and on the first night, I’m thinking, ‘Woah, first night on the honeymoon, right guys? It’s gonna be fun.’ My husband is in the kitchen looking for WiFi, why? Because he’s looking for a WiFi signal because he needs to do his Fantasy Football draft.”
Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.
