“Just trying to keep my head above water” - The Miz reveals how Maryse saved his WWE career
The Miz recently opened up about his wife Maryse and her contributions to his life.
The former WWE Champion and Maryse are among the WWE pairings that took their on-screen romance to the altar. They first met during the 2006 Divas Search, where The Miz was the host with Maryse as a contestant. They started dating in real life in 2008 and got married in February 2014.
In a recent interview with Detroit News, the former WWE Champion stated that his wife kept him afloat, crediting Maryse for keeping him out of trouble. The A-Lister even joked about being happy that Maryse came back and did not go 'with some loser.'
"I couldn't figure out how to get back to where I was, I was just trying to keep my head above water, and I couldn't. And then Maryse came back, and everything that I was saying kind of looked true, because this beautiful, smart woman isn't going to be with some loser."
When asked about his 'awesome' gimmick, he said that it's not just for show and it's a lifestyle, stating that he is awesome every day because of his family.
"I'm always good, 100% awesome, all day, everyday of my life. When you have two beautiful daughters who are healthy and happy and you have an amazing wife, I think you're pretty happy."
VINTAGE MIZ & MARYSE!
