Piper Niven Recalls Pitching For Match At WWE Clash At The Castle, Triple H’s Response

Piper Niven is set to face Bayley at WWE Clash at the Castle on Saturday, and she recently recalled how she pitched a match for the show. Niven spoke with Denise Salcedo for a new interview ahead of the match and spoke about how she pitched a bout for the show, only to be surprised when Triple H told her it was in the works. You can see highlights below (h/t to per Fightful):

On finding out she was getting a title shot at the show: “So would you like to hear about how it went? I knew Clash at the Castle was happening, but I didn’t hear anything, no whispers of any matches or anything like that. I was like, ‘I need to be on that card.’ Honestly, I jazzed myself up for weeks. You can ask Chelsea [Green], Chelsea’s my hype woman on-screen and off-screen. She helps build my confidence because sometimes I’m not the most confident.

“She was backstage with me and I was like, ‘Okay, I think today’s the day. I think I’m gonna ask. I think I’m gonna go ask.’ She’s like, ‘Yeah, you’ve got this. Go and ask him. You should be on that show.’ I was like, ‘Okay, cool, cool, cool.’ I walked up to Triple H and I went, ‘I’m here to shoot my shot,’ and he just went, ‘Let me guess, it’s about Clash.’ I went, ‘Yeah.’ ‘Anyway, we’re working on it. I was like, ‘Oh, this went well. Okay great, thanks.’ [Laughs].”

On being susprised that it worked out the way it did: “Yeah, I was like, ‘I didn’t even really need….’ I had a monologue prepared, I was like, ‘I deserve this because X, Y, and Z, blah, blah, blah.’ It was just, ‘Yeah, we’re working on it.’ Good, yes.”
