Piper Niven is not retired. Responding to speculation on X that she had quietly stepped away from wrestling, Niven wrote: “Reports of my demise are greatly exaggerated. I am still in recovery but no I am not retired.” Niven has been out since August 2025 with a neck injury and cervical stenosis, following her SmackDown match against Charlotte Flair. She underwent an anterior discectomy in May, and days ago shared that her 12-week scans came back with everything “healing beautifully.” There is no timeline for her return. We wish Piper a full recovery. #PiperNiven #WWE
