At 43, Maryse Mizanin is proving age is just a number. The former WWE Divas Champion posted a series of swimsuit photos from Laguna Beach on Friday, and the internet collectively lost its cool.
The French-Canadian superstar, who first stepped into the squared circle in 2006 after winning the Diva Search, has always had a knack for commanding attention. But this time, it wasn't a championship belt or a mic drop—it was a simple Instagram gallery that had fans hitting the like button in droves.
“You are effortlessly beautiful,” one admirer wrote. Another called her a “goddess queen,” while a third simply said, “You can’t take a bad photo.” The comments section quickly became a lovefest for the former Divas Champion, who hasn't competed in a match since January 2022.
Maryse’s WWE journey is the stuff of legend. After training in Ohio Valley Wrestling and Florida Championship Wrestling, she defeated Michelle McCool in 2008 to capture her first Divas Championship. But her impact didn’t stop there. She also proved to be one of the most effective managers in recent memory, guiding several fellow wrestlers to success. Her return in 2016 was a game-changer, helping her husband, The Miz, secure his fifth Intercontinental Championship. Together, they waged a memorable war against Daniel Bryan and Brie Bella, and later starred in the reality show “Miz and Mrs.” with their two daughters.
Even in retirement, Maryse remains a fan favorite. Her latest Instagram post shows her soaking up the sun at the iconic Southern California beach, a reminder that athletes know how to enjoy their downtime.
Will we see Maryse back in the WWE spotlight? The wrestling world is buzzing. While she hasn’t stepped into the ring in over two years, her enduring popularity makes a comeback a tantalizing possibility. For now, though, she’s happy to be a wife, mom, and—clearly—a social media sensation.
Maryse’s ability to stay relevant is a testament to her star power. Whether she’s managing her husband or simply enjoying a beach day, she knows how to keep fans engaged. And if her latest photos are any indication, she’s still got plenty of moves—both in and out of the ring.
