Maryse Ouellet never imagined that she would be setting foot inside of a different ring from WWE. She had left after she and the Miz got divorce; too much of a communication and trust issue what broke up their marriage. Maryse had decided that it was time to move on to bigger and better things than being just a valet and manager to some superstar. She wanted so much more now that she was ready to wrestle again, but only this time she had Ring of Honor call her and she was told she would be in a storyline with none other than Adam Cole. At first she was a bit skeptical, but she knew this would be something that could work itself out in the long run.
Walking inside of the building where Ring of Honor was making their first new taping for a while, she went to find Adam Cole. Maybe the introduction would be the icebreaker for them to start on the right foot with each other; she was walking down the halls when she had bumped into someone but when she looked up she saw the person who she was supposed to meet up. "Watch where you're going next time?" The male asked her, but Maryse continued to stare for a moment. "You must be Adam Cole, well I guess you must be the star I'm supposed to have a storyline set up with and the Bullet Club?" Maryse had to wait for his answer while her eyes stayed focused on him to hear his answer. "Well yes I'm Adam Cole and who are you exactly?" Quizzically he didn't know who she was; but it was fun to mess with such a beautiful woman at times. "If you must know I'm Maryse Ouellet..." Adam then looked back at her and nodded, "Oh yes the blonde who is supposed to be my valet when I walk out with my ROH championship. Be a doll and when I head out the ring, hold onto my title and keep it warm."
Maryse looked over at him stunned while she looked back at him, "Well so nice to know I'm supposed to hold your title while you have your matches. Tu es un connard, tu me rends malade." She put her hand in his face as she walked off to her locker room with her things to get ready for the night. Adam completely just shook it off and proceeded to his locker room to prepare for tonight. Later on in the night, Maryse had a stunning red outfit on while she was heading out to the guerilla entrance; seeing Adam coming towards her with the title as she leaned over to whisper something in his ear. "You want me to hold the title, then you have to do something for me." He turned over towards her as he started to whisper back in her ear, "If you clearly want to be my ring rat the answer is a big fat no." Hearing his entrance music as Maryse follow suit and coming out along with him. The Ring of Honor fans were shocked to see her there, "Could it be... Maryse Ouellet is here at Ring of Honor?!" The announcers were speechless as she walked down towards the ring with the champion.
