Last Friday on WWE SmackDown, Piper Niven, a top contender for the WWE Women’s Championship, found herself dissatisfied with the outcome of her segment with Bayley. Niven, in a fiery promo, expressed her frustration over the limited screen time she received during the interaction. Despite her efforts to convey her message effectively, some fans’ disruptive “WHAT?!” chants added to her disappointment, leaving her feeling thwarted in delivering her intended content fully.
Taking to her official account, Niven reposted the promo with Bayley, hinting at her discontent with the situation. In a reflective post, she quoted DMX, expressing feelings of pain and struggle, desiring more time to articulate her thoughts adequately. The Scottish Superstar is eager to demonstrate her prowess to Bayley and the audience, aiming to seize the WWE Women’s Championship in her homeland of Glasgow, Scotland.

The decision to name Piper Niven as the No. 1 contender for the championship raised questions due to her recent inactivity and focus on tag team wrestling with Chelsea Green. Wrestling Observer’s Dave Meltzer shed light on the matter, attributing Niven’s opportunity to the need to fill time until the anticipated Nia Jax match. Nia Jax, having earned a shot at the title after triumphing in the Queen of the Ring tournament, is set to challenge for the WWE Women’s Championship at SummerSlam.
With Clash at the Castle approaching in Scotland and Money in the Bank in Toronto, Canada, preceding the highly anticipated WWE SummerSlam event in Cleveland, Ohio, uncertainty looms over Bayley’s championship reign. Piper Niven’s upcoming clash against Bayley at Clash at the Castle 2024 poses a unique challenge for the reigning champion, who may face a home crowd disadvantage in defending her title against the determined Scottish contender. Amidst the evolving dynamics in the women’s division, Niven remains resolute in her quest for championship glory, poised to make a statement in the ring.
