Piper Niven regularly appears on SmackDown as a member of The Green Regime, which is considered one of the show’s most entertaining stables. However, it has now been revealed by Bea Priestley, who worked for WWE as Blair Davenport, that the Scottish wrestler was almost All Elite. According to Priestley who was speaking with The Sweet Pop, when Cody and Brandi Rhodes were recruiting talents for AEW, they offered Niven a contract, but she couldn’t sign it as she’d already inked a WWE contract to appear on their NXT UK brand.

“Basically, I had a match with Brandi, and Cody loved it. Brandi was really happy. Piper, the same thing, had a match with Brandi, and they were really happy. They basically offer me, Kip, and Piper a contract. Piper had already signed with NXT UK. She couldn’t do it.”Bea Priestley

34-year-old Niven was previously known by the name Doudrop, and at times, it appeared her WWE future was in jeopardy due to a lack of television time. However, that would change when Sonya Deville suffered an ACL injury, and she became Chelsea Green’s new tag partner. This would result in her being regularly featured, and in recent months, she has had the opportunity to share a ring with names like Charlotte Flair, Jade Cargill, and Alexa Bliss.
