Piper Niven Gives Injury Update; Remains Unsure Of WWE In-Ring Return

Submitted by Jeff Whalen on

Former WWE Women's tag team champion Piper Niven remains out of action due to a serious neck injury and in the latest update yesterday, it doesn't seem like she is particularly close to stepping back into the ring.

Posting on X, Niven updated her status for the benefit of inquiring minds and while she noted that she is in a "good spot", she conceded that she has no idea when or even if she will be back.

I am in a good spot rn!

I’m sorry I’ve been so quiet with you guys.

I appreciate every single message and every tweet (x? Sk?) I get, even if I haven’t liked or responded.

The truth is I’ve been so quiet as I know you have questions but the fact of the matter is, I don’t know yet.

It’s 5 months on and some days when it’s bad I can’t stand up for more than a few minutes if even a minute.

Do I want to come back?
Of course I do.
This is all I’ve done and all I’ve wanted to do since I was 16 years old and I can’t imagine doing anything else, I still love it as much as I did the first day I started.
And I feel like I was really just starting to get confident again and open up and hit my groove 😆

So all this to say, I hope so.
Keep your fingers crossed for me

Niven last wrestled almost six months ago and while there was no overt signs of an injury, she was pulled from WWE's European tour last summer and hasn't been seen or heard from on WWE TV since. Reports soon emerged that her career was in jeopardy due to the neck injury.
