NXT UK wrestler Piper Niven announced on social media that she has diagnosed with Bell’s palsy. She has not indicated whether the condition will cause her to miss ring time.
Powell’s POV: This is the same ailment that Jim Ross has battled over the years. There is no known cause of the condition, which causes facial paralysis. Niven is showing a great sense of humor about the situation, as you can read below. Here’s wishing her the very best.
Who’s got two thumbs, a funny face and has Bell’s Palsy?

On the plus side, I can now do a pretty smashing people’s eyebrow for the first time in my life so there’s that. 😂 pic.twitter.com/GzB3NwUqHr

Oh always! 😁
I’ve already got a full heel turn planned out, cool eye patches, a cape and maybe even some kind of Mr Bigglesworth cat! https://t.co/bj3BM337d4
