Former Champion Provides WWE Injury Update

WWE

Former WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion Piper Niven has given an update on an injury that has sidelined her since February.

As previously reported, Niven’s last WWE match was on the February 5, 2024, Main Event taping with it being stated she had since sustained a hand injury.

Per the report, it was internally feared that she had a broken hand, with no timeline for recovery and return specified.

Niven has now provided an update during an interview with the Gorilla Position podcast, revealing how she got the injury, saying:

“I broke my hand [at] training, trying to be a better performer. So obviously, the universe was like, ‘No, no, no, you’re too good.’

“It was like, ‘Hey bro, you can’t – come on, you got to give everybody else a chance.'”

She would go on to discuss the injury further, revealing that it is getting better, though there’s still a way to go, stating:

“So yeah, broke my hand, unfortunately. And it still looks gnarly.

“This happened the 7th of February. So just over two months. But it’s getting a little better.

“And now I have this gnarly little bone callus that I can’t wait to backfist people with. So yeah, that’s what I’ve been doing.”

At present, Niven isn’t cleared to return to the WWE ring but she does hope to receive medical clearance soon.

She became WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion having declared herself as Chelsea Green’s new tag team partner in August 2023.

Green’s original tag team partner, Sonya Deville, had to relinquish the title due to an ACL injury.

Deville also recently provided her own injury update stating that her “ACL is still recovering” but she is “getting a lot more confident.”
