A recent social media update from WWE Superstar Piper Niven stirred a buzz before the King and Queen of the Ring Premium Live Event. Piper Niven, who last appeared in a match against Jade Cargill on Friday Night SmackDown, displayed remarkable strength, securing a victory despite interference from Chelsea Green. Niven later shared photos from Saudi Arabia on Instagram, where she accompanied Chelsea Green before Green’s showdown with Bayley on the blue brand’s show preceding the premium live event.
The Instagram post by Niven caught the attention of various WWE talents, including Nia Jax, Chelsea Green, and Natalya, who chimed in with comments on Niven’s update.
Piper Niven, known by various ring names throughout her wrestling journey, such as Viper, transitioned to using the name Piper Niven during her WWE debut at the Mae Young Classic in 2017 and continued with it in NXT UK. However, her main roster introduction in 2021 saw her rebranded as Doudrop.
During her return in the Women’s Royal Rumble Match 2023 after a hiatus, Piper Niven shed light on the origins of her ring name, revealing it belonged to her stepfather and signifying “little saint.” Her return to the ring in April, following a hand injury in February, has seen her notch a sole victory since resuming competition. The story behind her name resonated with fans, highlighting a personal connection that adds depth to her wrestling persona.
