Piper Niven Gives Six-Week Post-Surgery Update
In May, Piper Niven underwent an anterior discectomy, which is a surgical procedure to treat pinched nerves, herniated discs, or spinal cord compression in the neck.
On June 25, she gave a six-week update, saying, “everything is fusing nicely” and “Neck straighter than my sexual preferences.”

On September 20, Chelsea Green alerted fans that Piper Niven was out on a “top secret special assignment.” Niven last wrestled on the August 22nd episode of WWE SmackDown, defeating Charlotte Flair.
Earlier this month, Piper said that it might be a long time before she returns to the ring, and she might not return at all, but to never count her out.
Fightful wishes Niven the best as she continues to recover.
