Jim Ross has offered his words of support to NXT UK Superstar Piper Niven, who revealed recently that she suffered a bout with Bell’s Palsy.
Piper Niven spoke up about her affliction on Twitter on December 13, remaining in relatively good spirits even joking about her ability to now perform a proper people’s eyebrow.
Who’s got two thumbs, a funny face and has Bell’s Palsy?

On the plus side, I can now do a pretty smashing people’s eyebrow for the first time in my life so there’s that. -- pic.twitter.com/GzB3NwUqHr

I’ve already got a full heel turn planned out, cool eye patches, a cape and maybe even some kind of Mr Bigglesworth cat! https://t.co/bj3BM337d4
Jim Ross, who was first afflicted with Bell’s Palsy on Super Bowl Sunday 1994, took to social media to wish the Scottish Superstar well.
You look great, young lady!

Bell’s palsy is just another bump in the road for you.
I’ve had it three times and our only option is to fight through it.
Stay positive. You have a bright future. ---- https://t.co/F3XV4jgaYt
JR also suffered a battle with Bell's Palsy in 1999 that prevented him from calling the January 4th, 1999 WWE Championship match between Mankind and The Rock where Mick Foley would win the championship for the first time.
Currently, Piper Niven is slated to compete in the NXT UK Women's Championship Triple Threat Match against Toni Storm and Kay Lee Ray at NXT UK TakeOver: Blackpool II on January 11, 2020.
As for Ross, he can be heard every Wednesday night as one of the voices of All Elite Wrestling.
