Piper Niven provides update six weeks after neck surgery
Piper Niven has provided an injury update.
The 35-year-old has been sidelined since August 2025 with a neck injury. She underwent surgery last month. On Thursday, Niven posted to social media that she had her six-week post-surgery checkup.
She wrote:
“6 week post surgery check up today. Everything fusing nicely.”
Niven followed up that post by writing:
“Neck straighter than my sexual preferences.”
Asked if she is currently able to turn her head from side to side, Niven responded:
“Very happy to say it does let me go both ways yes 🤣”
Earlier this month, she responded to a fan on social media regarding her potentially wrestling again, writing: “Don’t count me out just yet chick. Just letting people know that it will be a long time and maybe possibly not at all so we don’t have to answer the same question 50 times a stream.”
Niven is said to have aggravated a pre-existing neck injury on the August 22, 2025 SmackDown in Dublin, Ireland, and hasn’t wrestled since.
