In September 2025, it was reported that WWE star Piper Niven had suffered a serious neck injury, which would leave her out of action indefinitely. She underwent an anterior discectomy in May 2026. Recently, Niven provided an update following her 12-week scans, stating that her neck was “healing beautifully.” Despite this positive news, there is still no announced date for her return to WWE.
Niven also addressed retirement speculation after a fan inquired about reports of her retirement on Twitter (X). The WWE star directly responded to the claim.
Niven wrote, “Reports of my demise are greatly exaggerated. 😂 I am still in recovery but no I am not retired.”
Niven is currently recovering from neck surgery, and her return date has not yet been confirmed.
