WWE star shares update on Piper Niven's replacement

A WWE star has shared an update on Piper Niven's replacement. The Scottish wrestler has been out of action since the August 22 episode of SmackDown.

Niven has reportedly suffered a neck injury, and it has left The Secret HERvice a little short-handed. With only Alba Fyre and Chelsea Green in the faction, the Hot Mess is seeking a new addition to the group.

She has shared messages on social media, inviting fill-in candidates as well. However, when it comes to replacing Niven permanently, Green isn't keen to do that.

In an interview with Woman's World, Green clarified that she is not looking for Niven's replacement but continuing a storyline.

“Piper is so valuable to us. We’re not just replacing her, but the show goes on. This is Hollywood, baby! And I love to start a storyline on social media and plant the seed, because then the writers can gauge reactions and maybe bring it into their creative meetings,” she said. [H/T: Woman's World]

So while Green is checking in for ideas and looking for a fill-in candidate, replacing Piper Niven permanently in the Secret HERvice is not on her mind.

Her social media posts have attracted attention, with former WWE talent Indi Hartwell also expressing a desire to join the faction.

Chelsea Green approached top star to fill in for Piper Niven

Last week on SmackDown, Chelsea Green approached Women's World Champion Stephanie Vaquer with an offer to join Secret HERvice.

She told Vaquer that she has that "secret sauce" and offered her to take up the position of Slaygent in the group. La Primera didn't comment on the offer, hinting that a partnership is unlikely at the moment.

Meanwhile, Niven's injury was thought to be career-threatening at first; however, later it was reported that the injury may not be that serious and she is expected to be back in the ring.

About the author

Sherjeel Malik is a writer at Sportskeeda and covers pro wrestling. He was hooked on the product from the moment he saw The Hardy Boyz jumping off ladders during the Attitude Era. While he comes from an engineering background, Sherjeel’s love for pro wrestling and content writing led him to pursue a career in sports journalism. Before assuming his current role at Sportskeeda, Sherjeel worked at other reputable organizations for five years.

While writing articles, he ensures that he only relies on credible sources for information and covers relevant subjects that do not project an agenda against a particular person or association. WWE legend Paul Heyman once shared Sherjeel’s work on his social media handle.

Sherjeel’s earliest memory of pro wrestling is watching Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Undertaker square off for the WWE Title in the main event of a pay-per-view in 1998. His favorite wrestlers are Randy Orton and Jeff Hardy. While he admires Orton for his character work as a heel, he looks up to Jeff because of his unique wrestling style and risk-taking ability.

If he could go back to the Attitude Era, Sherjeel would like to manage Ken Shamrock and be his mouthpiece. He feels Shamrock’s promo skills prevented him from becoming a main event-level act in WWE. Hence, he would like to help the UFC Hall of Famer get over with fans.

When not writing about pro wrestling, he likes to read classics and fiction books.
