Well, folks, gather around because Piper Niven has marched back into WWE SmackDown like a Scotsman heading into battle! After a couple of months nursing a hand injury—probably got it from tossing opponents around—Niven made her grand reentry to the squared circle. And let me tell you, it was like watching Braveheart but with more body slams.
Joining forces once again with her tag team partner Chelsea Green, the dynamic duo, who’ve previously snatched the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship belts, hit the ring ready to stir up some trouble. Unfortunately, the luck of the draw had them square off against the freshly minted tag team of Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair. Talk about a tough day at the office!
The match? Quick but intense. Despite Niven’s best efforts to shield her partner, Green ended up on the wrong end of a Jaded move from Cargill, marking the second time this week Green felt the sting of defeat to Cargill; the first was during Cargill’s Monday night debut on WWE Raw.
But here’s a juicy tidbit from Niven’s time off the ropes—she got into a bit of a verbal tussle with none other than Bully Ray, who had his own WrestleMania 40 spotlight. It all unfolded on social media, leading to Bully Ray cutting a fiery promo on “Busted Open Radio.” He threatened all sorts of mayhem, from a Mafia Kick to a flaming table. But co-host Mark Henry just laughed it off, saying Niven could take Bully down without breaking a sweat.
So, as Piper Niven straps her boots back on and Chelsea Green shakes off the setbacks, the wrestling world watches eagerly. Will this tag team find their former glory, or is it back to the drawing board? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure—Niven’s return has definitely shaken things up on SmackDown.
