As the saying goes, wrestling isn’t ballet, and fans have seen some unfortunate injuries in recent weeks. Tiffany Stratton was pulled from in-ring competition, Jey Uso was busted open during his match at WrestlePalooza over the weekend, and Piper Niven has been off TV for a month now.
Fightful Select recently reported that Piper Niven has been absent from WWE because she is injured. However, the specifics regarding the injury are unknown at this point in time. Piper Niven last wrestled when she faced off against Charlotte Flair on the 8/22 episode of Friday Night SmackDown.
Bryan Alvarez recently shared an update on Piper Niven’s status on Wrestling Observer Live, and Alvarez noted that there’s concern within WWE that Niven’s injury could potentially be career ending.
“There’s concern that it could be career ending, so whatever it is, I mean, it’s serious. Hopefully she can come back but she is out due to injury.”
At this point in time it seems that little is known about what type of injury Piper might have suffered, but we wish the former WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion a speedy recovery.
Stay tuned for updates.
