Piper Niven To Face Rhea Ripley On 9/4 NXT UK
Big women’s match added to next week’s NXT UK.
Assistant to the NXT UK General Manager Johnny Saint announced that Rhea Ripley will battle Piper Niven on the Sept. 4 episode of NXT UK. The two recently got into a backstage brawl and have sent multiple warning shots at each other over the past couple of months. Niven and Ripley met on July 3 episode of NXT UK with Niven picking up the victory.
I can’t ignore the fights that @RheaRipley_WWE and @viperpiperniven have gotten into over recent weeks; so if they want it, they got it! Next week it will be Niven vs Ripley II on #NXTUK!
