Piper Niven

But okay.

The Queen's Crown semifinals, Doudrop defeats Shayna Baszler via pinfall after countering the Karafuda clutch.

Doudrop advances to face Selena Vega in the finals at Crown Jewel.

So Doudrop does score a victory here, but a believable one because she used her weight.

They won't say that because it's offensive, but that's the fact.

I mean, that's physics.

End of story.

But can't say that, right? We're in a different world now, but that's the reality.

And I know you're going to get to Kross here soon.

The thing with Doudrop and Eva Marie, I think WWE understands what this is, and if you listen to her promo tonight, she said she wanted to make sure she got at Marie before Marie could get out of the match as she's done in the past and has a history of doing.

So from that perspective, what she did last week makes sense.

It still shouldn't be what the baby face does, you know, attacking a heel from behind prior to a match.

Um, But I think Eva Marie is a heel that has so much go-away heat that anything done to her physically in the ring, whether it's before the match, during the match, or after the match, is going to be seen as a face move.

So I think in that regard, Doudrop will be okay.

But what happens after, I think, just like with McIntyre after Mahal, that's what's going to be important for Doudrop, is what happens after Marie.

Yes.

my main thing i got told was to watch a bunch of uh japanese wrestling a lot of japanese women's wrestling because it's a lot it's very like theatrical a lot of like flipping a lot of stuff that was tied to the skill set i already had and then i watched a lot i watched a lot of alexa bliss because she's similar stature to me in height so the way she moves quite works well like because she's smaller fighting bigger people so it's learning how to do that um trying to think who else i watched i watched i watched like i watched so many like random little matches of just a bunch of people trying to figure out like moves i liked how i wanted to move because i didn't want to just copy someone i wanted to find little pieces of like a bunch of people to go okay i like that i like that i like that and figure out how to like make everything more mine

I bet, like, you find Japanese wrestling and go into that, that must be a world that's just made for you, though, because it is got that theatrical, but it's also got that thing where, is it over at Stardom that they have, like, the dance troops and stuff like that, and you go back and see, like, sort of Piper Niven, Piper doing dance routines and Tony Storm and all that kind of stuff, where it's like, this is a whole different world of wrestling that's just, like... as larger in life as it can be.

So, yeah, so Japanese wrestling, that makes sense.

Legs of Bliss, yeah, karma, which is back in your life after being dispatched years prior.

at a Road to WrestleMania house show.

Asuka, Becky Lynch, Bianca Belair, Candice LeRae, Nikki Cross defeated Carmella in damage control as well as Piper Niven in Madison Square Garden.

So her last ever match was in Madison Square Garden.

That's amazing, man.

Yeah.

And looks like to close it out, Piper Niven recently had a 12-week follow-up after having neck surgery in June and is told that everything is healing beautifully.

Despite the news, word started getting out that since it's been well over a year since her last WWE appearance that she may be retired.

Piper shut that shit down on one post in particular saying, reports of my demise are greatly exaggerated.

Five years ago, we talked with on-site correspondents in detail about what happened off-air and crowd reactions in the building.

Topics with callers and emails included Damian Priest pinning Drew McIntyre, Nia Jax pinning Charlotte, the reshuffled lineup including No Bobby Lashley against Sheamus despite being advertised, Doudrop against Eva Marie, and more.

So let's get to it.

This originally live streamed on August 30th, 2021.

They also had announced a whole bunch of matches that ended up not happening.

The Sheamus and...

Lashley and well Eva Marie and Doudrop happened but you know that they found a way out of that and I forgot the third match but yeah so it felt like something that was last almost felt like last minute and It was good,

especially since there was long wrestling matches, too.

That rests a lot of concerns.

Another one is Piper Niven.

They s- started building some rumors that Piper Niven is gonna be forced to retire because of her surgery.

She went on Instagram over the weekend to let everyone know that her healing is doing very, very well, and it's gonna take time, but do not count her out as of yet.

Uh, a return to the ring is still in her plans, so that's a good update with her.

Uh, the...

His service, you know, like, uh, Chelsea Green's entourage.

I almost called him hysterectomy [laughs]It's not funny but, um, like, y- you remember the secret harvest? Y- you remember it was Piper Niven and Alba Fyre.

Yeah, I never got that name.

Who was Piper Niven.

Again, Piper Niven.

I was cool with it.

Let's just do that.
