The Miz and Maryse tried again on Apr. 17, 2026, to renew their wedding vows on WrestleMania SmackDown in Las Vegas, and the ceremony quickly went off the rails. Danhausen crashed the event, tried to insert himself as the ring boy, best man and maid of honor, and then announced he was joining the family and moving into the couple’s mansion.
Kit Wilson was officiating when he accidentally said, “You may now curse the bride!” and Danhausen seized on it. Maryse ended up with her face in the cake as the interruption turned the vow renewal into another mess for the pair.
The moment mattered because it replayed a familiar WWE beat. In 2021, The Miz and Maryse had tried to renew their vows on Raw, only for Edge to wreck the segment by dumping goop on them with his old Brood tricks. This new SmackDown scene, detailed in Danhausen crashes Maryse and The Miz vow renewal on SmackDown, framed the 2026 ceremony as a deliberate echo of that earlier disruption, with the family drama once again folded into an ongoing storyline around the couple.
That is the point of the bit: the vow renewal was never built to end cleanly. It was built to be interrupted, and on Apr. 17, 2026, it was Danhausen who delivered the blow that sent the cake flying and left Maryse covered instead of celebrated.
