18 Things You Probably Missed From WWE Raw (June 21)

14. “Her Partner”

"Cool" is perhaps the last thing Piper Niven felt last week when WWE's announcers pretended they didn't know who she was. NXT UK might not be the most high-profile show, but it's on WWE Network/Peacock, so there are no excuses (imagine Walter showed up and they tried something similar?).

This week, before being handed a new moniker, Piper was referred to as "Her Partner" alongside Eva Marie, No seriously, that's what they called her on screen and in match graphics. Again, Jimmy Smith (who has an excuse), Corey Graves and Byron Saxton (who don't) feigned ignorance.
