Earlier on today, NXT UK star Piper Niven (formerly Viper) took to Twitter to reveal that she was suffering from a bout of Bell’s Palsy, a form of facial paralysis.
Thankfully, it seems like Niven is not letting the bad news get the better of her, posting a few light-hearted posts on Twitter.

For those of you who aren’t aware, Jim Ross has long suffered from Bell’s Palsy, with his first attack dating back to 1994.
Taking to Twitter, the AEW lead commentator has offered Niven some words of support.
You look great, young lady!
Bell’s palsy is just another bump in the road for you.
I’ve had it three times and our only option is to fight through it.Stay positive. You have a bright future. 🙏🤠 https://t.co/F3XV4jgaYt

This all comes after Ross revealed that he is of the belief that professional wrestlers should be able to use steroids.
Piper Niven is set to face Toni Storm and Kay Lee Ray in a triple threat match for KLR’s NXT UK Women’s Championship at NXT UK TakeOver: Blackpool II next month.
