A top WWE superstar has been replaced in a major match on tonight’s episode of SmackDown.

In less than two hours, the blue brand is putting on an action packed show from Lyon, France over a year after delivering one of wrestling’s most exciting live crowds at Backlash 2024.

Tonight, Piper Niven was set to team up with her Secret Hervice partner Alba Fyre against Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair for the Women’s Tag Team Championships.

Unfortunately, in a post at 6pm UK time general manager Nick Aldis confirmed she is ‘unavailable’ for the event and won’t be wrestling on tonight’s show.

Instead, her and Alba’s leader Chelsea Green will step in to challenge for the gold in front of the capacity crowd 48 hours before this weekend’s Clash In Paris premium live event.
