The Miz is set to face off against Edge at WWE Day 1 in just under two weeks. Ahead of this, his wife Maryse is set to be part of The Cutting Edge on RAW.
Maryse made her return to WWE TV alongside The Miz a few weeks ago and has since been embroiled in a feud alongside her husband.
Last week on RAW, the former Divas Champion walked out on Miz after he used her as a shield to avoid a spear from Edge. Maryse's involvement allowed Miz to his The Skull-Crushing Finale, but it meant that his wife was less than impressed by his tactics.
Maryse appears to be playing a major part in this feud, so here are just five ways that this feud could be pushed forward on RAW.

#5. Maryse announces that she's retiring from WWE on RAW
Maryse is now a mother, something that was made very clear last week when she didn't want to be part of a physical confrontation with Edge.
The former Divas Champion has returned to WWE to fight her husband's battles several times, against Nikki Bell and John Cena, and just four months after giving birth to face Brie Bella and Daniel Bryan.
There has to be a point where Maryse has had enough of fighting her husband's battles. The star now has to think about herself and her daughters so she could announce that she is walking away from WWE tomorrow night on RAW.
Maryse has been part of WWE on and off since 2006, and her latest return only came a few weeks ago, but it could all have been in order to set up Maryse's retirement announcement.
Whilst there are rumors that Maryse and Beth Phoenix could become a physical part of this feud, Phoenix has already left WWE so it's no certainty that this is the direction that the story is heading. There could be a huge swerve on RAW and Maryse could decide that she's out.
#4. Maryse could attack Edge when she appears on RAW
Maryse has appeared on RAW several times over the past five years and has always had a swerve up her sleeve.
Whilst the former Divas Champion appeared to be irked by her husband last week, that doesn't mean she would ever turn against him. That means it's likely that Maryse could tell her story to Edge this week on RAW, before attacking him to end the segment.
This story is supposed to be building towards a mixed tag team match between the four stars which could potentially take place at The Royal Rumble. This could be set up this week on RAW if Maryse makes the mistake of touching Edge.
The mixed tag team match between Nikki Bella, John Cena, Miz, and Maryse was built up this way when Maryse slapped John Cena and Nikki Bella came to his rescue.
It's an easy and predictable way to insert Maryse and Beth Phoenix into the feud, and it's likely that this is the route that WWE will take.
#3. WWE could decide to hold back on the feud and not pull the trigger this week on RAW
The feud between The Miz and Edge has been building now for several weeks on RAW, but it has already been announced that the two will go one-on-one at WWE Day 1.
This means that it would make no sense to start building up a mixed tag team match two weeks before the event, so WWE could continue to tease the involvement of the women whilst not actually confirming it.
Maryse's appearance on The Cutting Edge this week on RAW could just be more of a build-up to The Miz vs Edge. It would allow Maryse to write herself off TV next week before making her return to set up a mixed tag match following their bout at WWE Day 1.
WWE has made some storylines quite convoluted in the past so they could decide to allow Miz and Edge to go one-on-one on January 1st before setting up a future mixed tag team match between the stars.
#2. Maryse could align herself with Edge after The Miz's recent actions on RAW
Maryse could appear on The Cutting Edge this week on RAW in order to finally tell her side of the story. The former Divas Champion has been dragged into her husband's feuds for more than five years and it could finally be time for her to make a stand.
The Cutting Edge could be her platform to reveal that she has had enough before then, aligning herself with Edge, which would be an interesting swerve.
Of course, this union wouldn't be a long one and may just last up until Day 1 when Maryse then turns on Edge in order to help her husband. This is the kind of mind games that the WWE Universe expects from The Miz and Maryse, and her actions last week on RAW have to build up to something.
If Maryse costs Edge his match at Day 1 then it would also allow Beth Pheonix to make her return in order to help her husband and the feud could then move forward, heading toward The Royal Rumble.
#1. Beth Phoenix could return to RAW to back up her husband Edge
Maryse's return to be part of the feud between Edge and The Miz on RAW has started some interesting rumors.
Beth Phoenix is a WWE Hall of Famer and was part of NXT until recently when she announced that she was stepping aside.
It's believed that this is because Phoenix is set to be pulled into the feud between her husband and The Miz as early as this week on RAW.
If Maryse's appearance on The Cutting Edge leads to a physical interaction between the former Divas Champion and The Rated R Superstar, then expect Phoenix to be waiting in the wings.
The former champion would make her return to RAW to help her husband in this feud and it could then be announced that the women will be part of the match at WWE Day 1.
If nothing else, this would allow the women to be in their partner's corners on January 1st and push the fued forward into The Royal Rumble.
