WWE star The Miz recently spoke to the Channel Guide Mag and spoke about a range of topics starting from whether his wife and former WWE diva Maryse was going to return to the ring or not to his own role with young and upcoming wrestlers in WWE NXT.
When asked about Maryse, he said, "The No. 1 question she is always asked is when can we see her back in the ring. Time will tell. We will see what happens. She is doing so much right now. She just had a movie come out on SyFy called Isle of the Dead trending worldwide. It was really well-received. Then we have the video game, with 'WWE 2K17' coming out in October. There is so much happening right now. We'll see what happens." However, the discussion moved towards The Miz's early years in the industry when he wasn't taken seriously by professional wrestlers due to his past as a reality TV star. He said. "Miz - a veteran in WWE? Did you think that would happen? I didn't. I almost believed everyone saying I'd be gone in three months. I said, 'You know what? I'm going to try my hardest and do whatever I possibly can to stay here.' And here I am 10 years later, trying to bring these young guys up and show them the ropes."
He also spoke about how he is trying to help talents who come up from WWE NXT, "I think people who come up think it will be exactly the same as it is in NXT and the Performance Center, and it's not. It's completely different. So you try to warm them up and get them prepared and ready for what WWE has to offer. I don't think anything can prepare you fully, so you prepare them as much as possible. You talk to them on the road and have them experience the way the crowds work. The crowds are completely different on the main roster than they are at NXT. NXT is a smaller venue. Here you are in the biggest venues and on the biggest shows with Raw and SmackDown Live. So to help them out here is kind of what I've been doing."
