Summary

Maryse returned to WWE television on the April 17 episode of SmackDown during a Las Vegas vow renewal segment with The Miz, and the night quickly turned chaotic once Danhausen showed up.

The ceremony unraveled when officiant Kit Wilson misspoke and said Miz could "curse" the bride. Danhausen jumped on the opening, cursed Maryse, and the segment broke down from there. In the ensuing scuffle, Miz went after Danhausen and Maryse wound up face-first in the cake.

How the segment unfolded

The segment played as a comedy angle built around Miz and Maryse renewing their vows, only for Danhausen to interrupt at exactly the wrong moment. WWE leaned all the way into Danhausen's curse gimmick, turning a single slip of the tongue into the centerpiece of the scene.

It also followed closely behind Danhausen's WWE in-ring debut on SmackDown, giving him another featured television moment on the brand.

This was Maryse's first WWE appearance since Evolution 2, where she was shown in the crowd.

What Maryse and Danhausen's segment could set up next

Maryse being brought back into a Miz and Danhausen segment suggests WWE still sees value in the act as a recurring piece of SmackDown entertainment, especially with WrestleMania weekend-level attention on the show. If the company keeps pairing Danhausen with Miz, this likely is not the last backstage or in-ring interruption involving them.

For Maryse, even a short return puts her back on screen in a usable role beside Miz. Whether that turns into another appearance or stays as a one-night cameo, WWE now has her reintroduced to the audience.
