There is serious concern in WWE that an injury suffered by a SmackDown star could spell the end of their career.

Injuries are a very real risk in the wrestling ring, as Jey Uso found out at Wrestlepalooza when he busted himself open with a rebounding chair shot as he teamed with his brother Jimmy to take on Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed.

Fightful Select recently lifted the lid on another injury worry in the company, with Piper Niven said to be out of action. Although details on her injury and how long it could keep her out of action were thin on the ground.

The last time Niven was in action in a WWE ring was back on the 22nd of August edition of SmackDown, where she picked up a win over Charlotte Flair. Since then, her Secret Hervice partners Chelsea Green and Alba Fyre have teamed up with each other, further indicating Niven’s absence.

WWE Seriously Worried About Piper Niven

Now, on Wrestling Observer Live, Bryan Alvarez has given a worrying update on the Scottish star’s condition, noting that the injury could be career-ending:

What I can tell you is that there is concern it could be career-ending. So whatever it is, it’s serious. Hopefully she can come back, but she is out due to injury.

Chelsea Green has already been on the hunt to find a new member for her group, indicating that Niven’s absence could be a lengthy one.
