3 Ups & 3 Downs From WWE NXT UK (1 April)

Downs...

3. This Isn't Working

Why is Piper Niven, a genuine all-time British wrestling icon, insistent on continuing this pairing with perennial NXT UK jobber Jack Starz? They had one tag team match together, which they won against Jinny and Joseph Conners, and now it’s suddenly all about tag teams for Piper?

‘The Vixen of Violence’ caught up with Starz at WWE’s UK Performance Center, with Jack laying out a rather intense workout plan. Instead, the former Viper enforced him to unleash his aggression on a punching bag in an entirely dire attempt at trying to make Jack Starz come across as a legitimate threat.

Instead, all this looked like was a teenager destroying their bedroom. You simply can’t look convincing this early on after being treated as the bully’s victim for years.

Including Niven in this mess will be nothing more than a detriment to her career. She shouldn’t be challenging for the NXT UK Women’s Championship right now, sure, but that doesn’t mean she can’t still be a top contender in said division. Anything other than this would be ideal right now.
