WWE Superstar Piper Niven recently had a successful surgery.

Niven has been out of action since last year after suffering a neck injury during the August 22, 2025, episode of Friday Night SmackDown during her match with Charlotte Flair. Her injury was described as potentially career-threatening.

Piper Niven Vows To Return Stronger After Recovering From Her Current Injury

The injured star recently went under the knife for an anterior discectomy, and soon after waking up, she shared a health update with her fans. She wrote that she has a lot to talk about regarding the past eight months. However, she would like to do that some other time.

She then thanked all of her fans for their constant love and support through her difficult time. She also revealed that the recent rough patch in her life has taught her many valuable lessons that will stay with her for a lifetime and promised her fans that she’d return stronger.

She tweeted, “I went to California and all I got was this lousy anterior discectomy. I have so much I want to say about the past 8 months but we can get to that later. For now, I just want to express my endless love and gratitude for every single soul that has helped me and cared for me during this difficult and really scary time.”

“Pain and heartbreak are incredible teachers and the lessons I have learned from this will stay with me forever. I am so grateful to wake up from surgery already feeling better and I know I am coming out the other side of this so much stronger for the experience. Lots of love P x”

There is no official timetable for when Piper Niven will return to action. Given her sensitive situation, WWE is taking a highly cautious approach to her recovery to ensure that she does not sustain any long-term damage.

We at TJR WRestling wish Piper Niven a speedy recovery.
