According to Force of Wrestling, Maryse being Ted DiBiase’s valet is an offshoot of plans initially mapped out for Maryse and Raw’s Mr. MITB The Miz last year. Remember when a storyline between the two was teased? They were planned to get together, however that didn’t happen due to Maryse’s knee injury which took her out of action for a pretty long time. While Maryse was away, The Miz came to play and backstage officials were rather happy at how well he does by himself. Love him or hate him, you have to admit that he does portray a good heel!

Back when Legacy broke up, many felt that the poor booking around that time made Ted D lose a bunch of momentum, so having some gorgeous eye candy seemed like a decent effort to get him over as a top heel. Maryse has now become a part of his storylines and is involved more with Superstars, as we’ve seen at Money in the Bank and on various episodes of Raw. Personally, I think she and Ted make a better pairing than she would have done so with The Miz and I enjoy seeing “Teryse” on Monday nights.
