    Piper Niven Shares Update After Undergoing Neck Surgery

    Piper Niven shared an update Wednesday after undergoing neck surgery to address an injury that has sidelined her since August 2025. The WWE superstar posted from a hospital bed following an anterior discectomy, a procedure that removes a damaged or herniated disc in the neck through a small incision in the front of the throat.

    The 35-year-old Raw superstar expressed gratitude to those who supported her during what she described as a difficult and scary time. She indicated the surgery was successful and that she already felt improvement.

    “I went to California and all I got was this lousy anterior discectomy,” Niven wrote on X. “I have so much I want to say about the past 8 months but we can get to that later. For now, I just want to express my endless love and gratitude for every single soul that has helped me and cared for me during this difficult and really scary time.”

    She continued: “Pain and heartbreak are incredible teachers and the lessons I have learned from this will stay with me forever. I am so grateful to wake up from surgery already feeling better and I know I am coming out the other side of this so much stronger for the experience.”

    Niven’s last match was a win over Charlotte Flair on SmackDown in Dublin, Ireland last August. As recently as February, she expressed hope about returning to wrestling, something she has done since her teenage years.

    No timeline has been announced for her return to in-ring action, but we wish her a full and speedy recovery.

  • Piper Niven Provides Unfortunate Update On Her Injury

    Piper Niven doesn\’t know when she will be back.

    The WWE star provided an unfortunate update on her injury on X recently. While responding to a fan concerned about her health, the former Tag Team Champion noted that she has no timetable for her in-ring return.

    The former Stardom star revealed that she is still dealing with the effects of her injury and there are days when she can\’t even stand up for more than a few minutes. Though Piper Niven confirmed that she has not given up hope about a return to the ring down the line:

    \”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.\”

    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… https://t.co/r1DcV0ESrL

    Piper Niven has been out of action since the August 22 episode of SmackDown last year, where she faced Charlotte Flair. She was then pulled from a scheduled Women\’s Tag Title match against Flair and Alexa Bliss, with Chelsea Green teaming up with Alba Fyre for the bout instead.

    Reports at the time suggested that the Secret Hervice star was dealing with a career-threatening neck injury, but nothing further has come out about her status since then.
