Uncle Howdy abducted The Miz and delivered a cryptic promo on this week’s RAW. During the segment, Bo Dallas revealed the reason behind targeting The A-Lister, citing Miz’s previous behavior toward him during their alliance as part of The Miztourage. Following these events, it’s possible that Maryse could return after a two-year absence to rescue her husband from the clutches of The Wyatt Sicks.
Maryse’s last in-ring appearance was at Royal Rumble 2022, where she teamed with The Miz to face former WWE stars Edge and Beth Phoenix. Despite their best efforts, they were unable to beat The Rated-R Superstar and Beth. Now, with the former Intercontinental Champion in need of help once again, a return for Maryse seems like a realistic possibility.
The 41-year-old star could locate The Wyatt Sicks’ hideout and rescue her husband. This angle would allow WWE to reintegrate Maryse into the storyline, bringing her back to television. Given that The Wyatt Sicks includes a female member in Nikki Cross, fans could see Maryse stand against Cross to protect her husband if the faction attempts another abduction.
Overall, it will be intriguing to see how this narrative unfolds in the coming weeks and whether Maryse will step in to save The Miz from Uncle Howdy’s clutches.
What consequence The Miz might face if no one rescues him from Uncle Howdy's clutches?
Not only Maryse but The Final Testament might also attempt to rescue The A-Lister from Uncle Howdy’s clutches, as they are already engaged in a rivalry with the horror faction. However, if no one comes to Miz’s aid and he remains trapped, WWE could use this to write the 44-year-old star off television.
Upon his return, the company could either reintroduce him as a babyface or take his character in a completely different direction. Alternatively, The Wyatt Sicks might release Miz under the condition that he refrains from his past misdeeds, warning that any further poor behavior would result in similar punishment.
Another possible outcome is that Uncle Howdy could set Miz free on the condition that he monitors the activities of The Final Testament. Given that Karrion Kross has already warned Miz to align with them in this ongoing battle, Howdy might leverage this, demanding Miz spy on The Final Testament’s plans against the faction.
Ultimately, we’ll have to wait for the upcoming episodes of Monday Night RAW to see how this storyline unfolds, as The Miz remains firmly in Uncle Howdy’s grasp.
