Piper Niven

Kimberly Benson is a professional wrestler currently signed to the WWE SmackDown brand. She began wrestling as a teenager on the Scottish independent scene under the name Viper, quickly becoming a standout powerhouse among UK women. In promotions like Insane Championship Wrestling (ICW), she captured the inaugural ICW Women’s Championship and defended it in multi‑woman matches that helped define the division.

Internationally, she became a regular in Japan’s STARDOM promotion, bringing a bruising style that contrasted sharply with many of her joshi opponents and earning several title opportunities.

Her profile grew with her appearances in the World of Sport revival and the WWE Mae Young Classic, where she showcased her mix of strength and agility to a larger audience.

Signing with WWE in 2019, she wrestled on NXT UK before transitioning to Raw, where she was repackaged as Doudrop and initially aligned with Eva Marie. After a storyline split that showcased her sympathetic babyface side, she cycled through singles programs and brief 24/7 Championship runs.

Reverting to the name Piper Niven, she re‑emerged as a more serious competitor and later joined Chelsea Green as one half of WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions, establishing “The Green Regime” as a sneaky, opportunistic duo. Throughout, Benson has been praised for her timing, bumping, and ability to work as either a dominant heel or resilient underdog despite her size.

A neck injury in late 2025, suffered during a match against Charlotte Flair, has raised concerns about her long-term wrestling career, but her influence on UK women’s wrestling is already well‑established.
