Piper Niven breaks silence her lengthy absence from WWE television
Piper Niven has not wrestled since the August 22nd 2025 edition of WWE SmackDown. In September, it was reported that Niven was potentially dealing with a “career-ending” injury.
In a post via Twitter/X on February 2nd 2026, Niven provided an update on her health…
“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 🤞🏻😘”
