A Name with a Legacy: Piper Niven’s Tribute to Family

Summary:
– Piper Niven shares the personal significance behind her ring name.
– The name ‘Niven’ is a tribute to her stepdad, who she considers her real father.
– She chose the name to honor the tradition of passing it down through her family.

Piper Niven, currently holding the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship with Chelsea Green, has recently opened up about the backstory of her ring name. In a heartfelt response to a fan’s curiosity, Niven explained that her last name is not just a moniker but a tribute to her stepdad, who raised her and whom she regards as her real father. The name ‘Niven,’ traditionally used as a middle name in her family, carries the meaning “little saint,” and by adopting it as her stage name, Niven ensures the continuation of her family legacy.

She decided to partner with Chelsea Green after Sonya Deville, Green’s previous tag team partner, suffered an injury. Since then, Niven has been making significant strides in the WWE, and fans are eager to see what the future holds for her, both as part of the tag team and potentially in her solo endeavors.

It’s my Dads (stepdad but he raised me so I consider him my real dad) name, it’s usually passed down through the family as a middle name so I decided to take it on as my stage name to keep it going.
It’s a very old name that means little saint https://t.co/Qufd19J8c3
