Big women's match added to next week's NXT UK.
Assistant to the NXT UK General Manager Johnny Saint announced that Rhea Ripley will battle Piper Niven on the Sept. 4 episode of NXT UK. The two recently got into a backstage brawl and have sent multiple warning shots at each other over the past couple of months. Niven and Ripley met on July 3 episode of NXT UK with Niven picking up the victory.
I can’t ignore the fights that @RheaRipley_WWE and @viperpiperniven have gotten into over recent weeks; so if they want it, they got it! Next week it will be Niven vs Ripley II on #NXTUK!
