Viper managed to do what Nixon Newell sadly couldn't and entered WWE's Mae Young Classic tournament this past August. Working for WWE was a real landmark moment for the Scot, because she's proof that the stereotypical 'Diva' format is dead and buried. Possessing size and power, the renamed Piper Niven brings something different to the table.

Nobody who wrestled her in WCPW needs a reminder of that. Against Kay Lee Ray, Little Miss Roxxy, Martina, and Lana Austin, Viper has shown herself to be highly capable. She even became the only woman to enter the 30-person Rumble at No Regrets. Let's not forget that match was for the WCPW Title too.

Making history comes easy to Viper. Whether she was mixing it with the men or working as Bea Priestley's personal bodyguard, the Ayrshire lass always excelled in WCPW. Let's hope WWE realise what they have on their hands and we see more of Viper in the future.
