WWE recently made an exciting announcement regarding the Clash at the Castle Premium Live Event, scheduled for June 15th. Among the confirmed matches for the event is a showdown between Piper Niven and Bayley for the WWE Women's Championship.

The reason behind Niven being granted the title shot has now been revealed, following a surprising turn of events on the May 31st episode of Friday Night SmackDown. During the show, Nia Jax, donning her prestigious crown, called out her SummerSlam opponent to face her in the ring. However, a twist awaited as Piper Niven and Chelsea Green ambushed Bayley, hurling her into the ring.

Taking advantage of Bayley's incapacitation, Niven and Green boldly declared that Niven would emerge victorious over the reigning champion, setting the stage for Jax to confront her instead. Subsequently, it was officially announced that Piper Niven would challenge Bayley for the WWE Women's Championship at the highly anticipated Clash at The Castle event.

Wrestling Observer Radio's Dave Meltzer shared his insights on WWE's decision to include Piper Niven in the title match, citing that it served as a way to fill time until the marquee Nia Jax match takes place. Meltzer stated, "The major match is the Nia Jax match, and they just did this to fill time until we get to it."

As fans gear up for Clash at The Castle on June 15th, there is growing anticipation to see how WWE will continue booking the intense feud between Bayley and Piper Niven in the coming weeks. It is evident that Bayley will face a formidable challenge as she prepares to defend her coveted title, setting the stage for an electrifying encounter.
