Piper Niven missed the September 4 episode of WWE RAW, and a new report shines some light on the situation.
On the September 4 episode of WWE RAW, Adam Pearce stated that Piper Niven was not cleared to compete, though he did not provide further information.
Per Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select, the word backstage is that Niven is dealing with a short-term illness. Sapp wrote that it’s hoped that Niven will return in a week or two if her recovery goes well. He also cited WWE sources who noted that there are no plans to vacate the tag team titles or take them off of Niven.
Niven joined forces with WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion Chelsea Green on the August 14 episode of WWE RAW. She replaced Sonya Deville after the latter went down with a torn MCL. In her most recent match, Niven competed on the August 21 episode of WWE RAW.
WrestleZone will provide more information as it becomes available.
