Someone who deserve praise simply as a matter of her total performance since returning to WWE a year ago is Maryse.

The wife of the Miz has been a huge asset to her husband’s career, giving fans more of a reason to boo him. For starters, look at her. Wouldn’t you boo the obnoxious guy married to her? And then Miz uses Maryse as a human shield, hiding behind her during matches and in-ring segments. And if things progress too far, she’s not afraid to slap a wrestler, knowing he won’t retaliate.

But to say it without trying to sound leering, she is a stunning person whom the camera loves. The fact she’s a former women’s champion who knows how to help get heat on her husband only makes her a better asset.
