A sizzling exchange unfolded just moments before tonight’s RAW as WWE Hall of Famer, Bubba Ray Dudley, and current superstar Piper Niven engaged in a heated back-and-forth on social media platform X.
The confrontation ignited when Niven rushed to the defense of her tag team partner, Chelsea Green, who expressed discontent towards the WWE legend for his recent powerbombing of her real-life husband, Matt Cardona, onto a flaming table.
Things took a personal turn as Bubba Ray took a controversial jab at Niven’s weight in response to her subtle reference to his age.
“Your chin also… The 2nd one…”
he remarked, stoking the flames of their exchange.
Your chin also…
The 2nd one…

The verbal sparring has extended over 24 hours, leaving fans speculating about its potential ramifications.
While it may seem like a staged performance, given Matt Cardona’s threat of legal action against Bubba Ray Dudley, actor Paul Walter Hauser, and the REVOLVER promotion following an incident at the Ready or Not PPV, the tension appears palpable.
Amidst the online drama, Chelsea Green leapt to her husband’s defense, while Niven stood firmly by her tag team partner. Bubba Ray’s persona as Bully Ray seems to be fully realized, yet some fans are questioning the appropriateness of his recent dig at Piper Niven.
In a twist of fate, Piper Niven finds herself joining the ranks of injured WWE superstars ahead of WrestleMania 40.
I WAS SET ON FIRE!
I plan on suing @bullyray5150, Paul Walter Hauser, and @pwrevolver!

Alongside notable names like CM Punk, Charlotte Flair, Sonya Deville, and Shotzi, Niven’s participation hangs in the balance due to a reported broken hand sustained since her last match on February 5th’s Main Event, teaming up with Chelsea Green against Tegan Nox and Natalya.
With uncertainty shrouding her recovery timeline, the possibility looms that Niven might remain sidelined until after WrestleMania 40.
As of now, there’s no indication of any plans involving Niven and Green at the Grandest Stage of Them All, leaving the fate of the Women’s Tag Team titles up in the air.
