The feud between The Miz and Edge once again heated up on WWE RAW. It was announced that the former WWE Champions will collide at the first pay-per-view event of the year, Day 1 on January 1, 2022.
It will be the first time the pair have collided in the ring one-on-one since the January 31, 2011 episode of WWE RAW.
The Miz and his wife Maryse headed to RAW to host another episode of Miz TV. Miz announced himself as the first inductee into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2022 much to the surprise of WWE Universe. The stars of Miz & Mrs proposed a toast with some champagne until The Rated R Superstar came out to interrupt.
Edge suggested that The Miz was annoying and that he makes up for his shortcomings by being an "obnoxious, sanctimonious, overbearing j*ckoff." He also stated that he would teach The Miz a lesson at WWE Day 1, before Miz decided to throw the contents of his champagne glass into the face of Edge.
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
The Miz tried to get the upper-hand on Edge, before he fought back and tried to spear the reality television star. Instead, The Miz pulled his wife Maryse in-front, forcing Edge to stop. This allowed Miz to take advantage and hit his Skull Crushing Finale finisher.
After Edge left the ring, The Miz and Maryse began to seemingly argue in the ring. It resulted in Maryse slapping her husband in the middle of the ring and leaving him to ponder. He did try and follow Maryse up the ramp to plead with her, but she wasn't interested.
It was certainly a turn we didn't expect this particular feud to take and leaves for plenty of intrigue as to what will happen next. That being said, let's take a look at five things that could happen after Maryse slapped The Miz on WWE RAW.
#5 Maryse and The Miz could make-up next week on WWE RAW
Of course, in real life, The Miz and Maryse live together with their children. There is certainly plenty of time for the two-time WWE Champion to make-up with his wife and resolve issues from WWE RAW.
The pair could come out next week on the red brand and The Miz apologizes to Maryse in the ring and all is forgiven. She may profess that if her husband puts her in harm's way again then he will no longer be forgiven.
But that doesn't necessarily mean Miz won't put Maryse in harm's way again. It may leave some intrigue on the table to see if the former Intercontinental Champion will use her to his advantage against Edge at Day 1.
#4 Maryse could refuse to help The Miz in WWE anymore
As Maryse pointed out in this week's WWE RAW, she is now a mother and helping The Miz's WWE career is no longer her priority. She may have done it over the years to help him in the company, but times have changed.
The former Divas Champion may make it clear next week that she is done helping The Miz in the ring. It would be a big blow for Miz, who has had Maryse by his side for a number of successful years in WWE. That would mean he would have to face Edge alone at WWE Day 1.
#3 The Miz & Maryse could be acting to gain an advantage on Edge at Day 1
Could this all be a plan for The Miz to get the psychological edge over Edge for their match at WWE Day 1? It certainly could be, and you can't write anything off when it comes to The Miz & Mrs stars.
Let's say that it appears in the eyes of the WWE Universe The Miz and Maryse have geuniney fallen out. Miz could be feeling down for the next few weeks and Edge could mock him about it.
At WWE Day 1, Maryse could shock The Rated R Superstar and return to help her husband claim one of the biggest victories of his career. Remember, The Miz is always one step ahead, or so we think anyway.
#2 The Miz could turn his attentions to Beth Phoenix and blame Edge for what happened on WWE RAW
The Miz will no doubt be feeling upset about what transpired on WWE RAW, and he could take it all out on Edge. The two-time WWE Champion may blame The Rated R Superstar for what went down, and then completely turn the tables.
The Miz may focus on Edge's wife Beth Phoenix to try and rile him up and get under his skin to add further layers to the feud. It may ultimately lead to Beth appearing in the storyline with a possible Edge & Beth vs. Miz & Maryse somewhere down the line.
#1 The Miz may tell Maryse that she embarrased him and that she is no longer welcome
How dare Maryse embarrass The Miz like that in front of the world. In the midst of one of the biggest feuds of his career and his wife turns on him like that? The Miz deep down will surely be seething about her actions.
He may conclude that he no longer needs Maryse by his side any more in WWE. He ended up winning the WWE Championship earlier this year without her assistance, after all.
This may disappoint his wife, who may still appear each week to try and help him and it ultimately becomes a key part of the storyline.
