“15 years in the making” Doudrop talks about her match against Becky Lynch at Royal Rumble
Doudrop is a staple in the WWE women’s division. In 2019, the former Viper contracted with the promotion and made her NXT UK debut as Piper Niven.
In June of 2021, Niven joined RAW. Under the arena name Doudrop, she debuted on the red roster. She was a finalist in the maiden Queen Crown event, however, she was defeated by Zelina Vega.
Doudrop talks about her match against Becky Lynch
Doudrop is set to face The Man in a one-on-one match at Royal Rumble on January 30th. In a triple-threat match on an installment of Raw, she defeated Liv Morgan and Bianca Belair to garner a shot at Becky’s WWE Raw Women’s Championship.
“I don’t know if people know this, but I’ve been waiting 15 years for this match. Way back when I first started training in a little warehouse in Linwood, Scotland, there really wasn’t many experienced girls in the UK wrestling scene at all. There was me, Nikki Storm – who had also just started out – down in England we had Mischief and Erin Angel and then over in Ireland we had Miss Rebecca Knox” said the #1 no contender.
“Becky was at the top of her game even then”
“At the time, we were well aware of Becky. She was at the top of her game even back then. Our trainers were trying to bring her in and have matches with us so that we could learn from her and gain some experience.”
“Unbeknownst to us at the time, she was just packing up her belongings to move to the United States,” We tried all we could to get her to come over, but it didn’t work out. So here we are, 15 years later. It was a big ass circle to get into, but we made it.”
Duodrop is all prepared for her shot at the Raw Women’s Championship, that too against someone she had been waiting for, for about 15 years. But are her preparations enough to beat Big Time Becks? We shall wait and find out as the Royal Rumble pay-per-view airs on January 30th.
