News regarding Piper Niven (formerly Doudrop)’s return to WWE television

As seen during the 2023 Royal Rumble PLE, Piper Niven made her return to WWE with the Doudrop name being dropped. Niven was off television for several months due to being sick.

Niven first publicly talked about potentially reverting back to her old name in August. Alex McCarthy of The Daily Mail noted the following regarding the name change…

“Sportsmail has learned that Niven got the green light to change her name one month before the Rumble. It was decided the Rumble was a fitting place to re-debut the name.”

McCarthy also stated the following…

“Sportsmail understands several talents who underwent a character change under Vince McMahon’s tenure have discussed what their future looks like under Triple H, but not all wanted to revert back to their NXT characters or otherwise – but Triple H has welcomed those talks.”
