Piper Niven has provided an honest and heartfelt update on her ongoing injury recovery, offering fans insight into her current condition and mindset. Taking to social media, Niven reassured supporters that she is “in a good spot right now,” while apologizing for her recent silence. She expressed gratitude for the constant messages and support she continues to receive, even when she’s unable to respond.
Niven admitted that the uncertainty surrounding her injury has made it difficult to give clear answers. Five months into recovery, she revealed that some days remain extremely challenging, explaining that when the pain flares up, she struggles to stand for more than a minute. Despite the setbacks, her passion for wrestling remains unchanged.
“Do I want to come back? Of course I do,” Niven said, emphasizing that wrestling is all she has ever wanted to do since the age of 16. She added that she felt she was just beginning to regain confidence and hit her stride before the injury occurred, making the situation even more frustrating. Still, she remains hopeful and asked fans to keep their fingers crossed for her return.
Piper Niven has been sidelined since the August 22 episode of SmackDown last year, where she faced Charlotte Flair. She was later pulled from a scheduled Women’s Tag Team Title match, fueling reports of a potentially career-threatening neck injury. No further official updates have been provided since, making her latest message a significant moment for fans awaiting her comeback.
I am in a good spot rn! ☺️

I’m sorry I’ve been so quiet with you guys.
I appreciate every single message and every tweet (x? Sk?) I get, even if I haven’t liked or responded.
The truth is I’ve been so quiet as I know you have questions but the fact of the matter is, I don’t… https://t.co/r1DcV0ESrL
