Chelsea Green and Alba Fyre have formed a tag team known as The Green Regime during Niven's absence. The duo lost to Sol Ruca and Zaria on the October 3 edition of SmackDown. Sol Ruca and Zaria challenged Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss for the Women's Tag Team Championships this past Friday night on SmackDown, but were unable to capture the titles.

WWE star claims she will not be replacing Piper Niven on SmackDown

Popular WWE star Chelsea Green recently made it known that she has no plans to replace Piper Niven.

Green defeated Michin (Mia Yim) in the finals of a tournament to become the inaugural Women's United States Champion in December 2024. She had an impressive reign as champion before losing the title to Zelina Vega earlier this year. Giulia is the current Women's United States Champion on SmackDown.

Speaking with Woman's World, Green stated that Niven is very valuable to her faction, and she was not looking to replace her. However, The Hot Mess noted that the show must go on during the 34-year-old's hiatus.

“Piper is so valuable to us. We’re not just replacing her, but the show goes on. This is Hollywood, baby! And I love to start a storyline on social media and plant the seed, because then the writers can gauge reactions and maybe bring it into their creative meetings,” she said. [H/T: Woman's World]

It will be fascinating to see when Piper Niven will be able to return to action on WWE television following her injury.
