The following are highlights of a new interview from the official WWE website with former WWE Diva Maryse:
On her post-WWE life: “I live with The Miz in LA and we’ve been planning our wedding for a year. I want it to be perfect, but I’m pretty much done with all the planning. We’re all set to go. It’s coming in four weeks. I got my dream house in the Hollywood Hills and we’re building a huge extension to it, but I still need some more space because I’d love to have some mini Mizzes and mini Maryses running around. If you know Maryse and The Miz, you know we’ll need a lot of space. I’m also working for a real estate firm here in Los Angeles. It’s going really well and I love it. That’s the career path I’m in right now. I love everything related to business. That’s my field, besides entertainment, which I’m really good at.”
On her wedding plans with The Miz: “The wedding is Feb. 20, on Paradise Island in the Bahamas. We’re going to have 100 people coming down there, which is pretty big for a destination wedding. I’m really excited about it, but it’s a lot of work. Planning a wedding seems easy, but there are a lot of details to think of. But overall, it’s been a lot of fun. I’ve really enjoyed it, especially because my man is really involved with all the planning. As a woman, it’s really fun to see your fiancée participate and really care. It makes it a lot easier and a lot more fun.”
On AJ Lee breaking her Divas Title record: “I’m actually really proud of AJ for doing that. Congratulations to her. It’s a lot of work to have the title for that long. I always loved AJ’s interviews. I think she’s really entertaining. I love people that can talk and have personality. Right now, my life is not focused on wrestling, but I’m proud of what I accomplished. No matter what, I’m still the most badass Diva of all time. You can’t take that away from me.”
On the possibility of making a WWE return: “Right now, the timing is not right. I’ve never been this happy in my entire life. I’m the healthiest and happiest I’ve ever been. My life is 100% like I want it. Never say never, but right now, no. Maybe one day in the future. If the timing’s right, why not?”

The following are highlights from a recent interview with WWE Superstar The Miz:
On his plans to marry former WWE Diva Maryse: “I’m getting married in February, and I never pictured myself getting married to be quite honest with you, let alone enjoying the whole process of getting married. We were going over bits and pieces about the wedding, and I enjoy it. I like it. It’s fun. We enjoy doing it together. It’s not the hassle everyone makes it out to be. I think it’s because the people we are dealing with are making it so easy for us.”
On plans for he and Maryse to have children together: “We both want kids. I want a little Miz running around, even though I know he is going to be the most annoying kid in the world. If he is anything like his father, then my God! I’m definitely preparing for that, but who knows how long that will be. There has definitely been talks, and my outlook on WWE is I’m still going to do as I always have. I’m going to work as hard as I can to entertain those audiences, whether it’s on WWE or on a movie from WWE Studios.”

WWE Superstar The Miz recently spoke with The Miami Herald to promote WWE’s upcoming live event from Sunrise, Florida. Here are some highlights of what he said about:
New Talent Getting Brought Up From NXT:
“I love having new talent come up. It’s great, and I think WWE is doing a great job bringing in new characters and new entertainment to the WWE Universe out there and new characters for me to play with out there. I mean now we have a guy that dances called Fandango and during one of my matches I’m wrestling, what does he do? He starts his music and starts dancing during my match. I’m sorry, but I’m the center of attention when I’m in the ring. Not Fandango. It’s been incredible to have all these new characters. It just makes it so much more fun.”
Antonio Cesaro, The Shield and Bray Wyatt:
“Antonio Cesaro is one of the toughest opponents I’ve had to face, and he was just a rookie at that time [when I worked with him. Imagine when he is a seasoned vet. He just keeps getting better and better and better. Then you have the Shield. The Shield hasn’t lost yet, whether it’s in a singles match or tag matches. They’re dominant. You look at this Bray Wyatt, definitely freaky and weird and interesting. I can’t wait for this guy to debut just to see what he [and the rest of the family] is all about. There is tons of up-and-coming talent, for me to pick a superstar to be the next Rock or the next [John] Cena, time will tell.”
The World Heavyweight Title:
“One of the things I haven’t had is the world heavyweight championship. So I think I need to go after that and grab that world heavyweight championship for once.”
His Fiance, Maryse:
“I have my dream girl. I finally found the one I’ve been looking for. It has been absolutely fantastic, but obviously with being on the road so much, it causes headaches because we want to see each other. So sometimes I bring her on the road with me, but she understands, and it’s great she understands with me being on the road and with me being with WWE. She knows I’m setting ourselves up for the life that we want.”
– Former WWE and TNA star Daivari turns 29 years old today.
– Paul Heyman’s HeymanHustle blog has posted an exclusive new photo gallery of former WWE Diva, international fashion designer and soon-to-be wife of The MIz, Maryse Ouellet.
– Tonight’s WWE SmackDown & Main Event tapings take place from the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, Michigan. On Main Event, United States Champion Kofi Kingston will defend against Antonio Cesaro, who is invoking his rematch clause. On SmackDown, Dean Ambrose will wrestle Kane. Advertised locally is Randy Orton, Sheamus, Alberto Del Rio vs. Jack Swagger, Big Show and Mark Henry.
As always, SEScoops.com will have live spoiler results of the tapings later tonight – make sure to check back for those.
– There was some concern in WWE that CM Punk might have been injured on RAW during his no disqualification match against Kane. At one point in the match, Punk took a bad bump and cameras quickly cut away, while referee Mike Chioda threw up the “X” symbol. A trainer came down to look at Punk, but Punk ended up finishing the match. Between this and the recent incident at a WWE live event where The Miz dropped Punk on his head during a botched stalled suplex, the road to WrestleMania has been a bumpy one for Punk, to say the least.
– WWE legend Goldust commented on his WrestleMania 29 status on Thursday:
“Looks like i will be watching #WM29 this year from the comfort of my home. #newkidsontheblock ! Hope they know the opportunity they have!!!”

After his surprise return at the Royal Rumble, it looked like he might have finally gotten his wish, but .. there’s always next year. He mentioned that, he “might have to hit up Booker T for a reunion against Rhodes Scholars.”
