Piper Niven Calls Out Jade Cargill’s Technique After Night of Champions, Implies She Doesn’t Care Who She Hurts

Piper Niven went public with sharp criticism of Jade Cargill on Saturday following WWE Night of Champions, taking aim at both Cargill’s in-ring execution and her apparent indifference to her opponent’s safety.

Cargill appeared at the event challenging Tiffany Stratton for the Women’s United States Championship. The match featured outside interference from Michin and B-Fab on Cargill’s behalf, before Chelsea Green and Charlotte Flair evened the odds, ultimately allowing Stratton to retain her title. During the contest, Cargill hit a Blackhole Slam on Stratton — a move closely associated with both Niven and retired TNA legend Abyss (WWE producer Chris Park).

When Cargill posted about the clip calling the move “beautiful,” Niven responded directly and bluntly. “5/10 a bit sloppy,” Niven wrote, “you didn’t transfer her weight onto your chest so you never really had her and that’s why she slipped out and you got that double bump effect and her head verberated on the mat. But you looked great, and who cares who you hurt so long as you’re alright, right?”

Niven also addressed a social media user who pushed back on her claiming the move as her own, pointing out that Abyss is retired and that she had personally received his blessing to use the Blackhole Slam. Crucially, Niven also made clear that despite suffering a career-threatening neck injury in August 2025 that has kept her on the shelf, she does not consider herself retired.

This isn’t the first time tensions between Cargill and her locker room peers have spilled into public view — similar friction surfaced in the weeks leading up to WrestleMania involving Cargill, Rhea Ripley, Chelsea Green, and Niven herself. As of this writing, Cargill has not responded to Niven’s latest comments.
