Piper Niven
Kimberly Benson (born 6 May 1991) is a Scottish professional wrestler. She is signed to WWE, where she performs on the SmackDown brand under the ring name Piper Niven, and is a member of The Green Regime stable.
Benson began her career on the UK independent circuit under the ring name Viper, also performing in the American independent promotion Shimmer Women Athletes and in Japan for World Wonder Ring Stardom. After participating in the 2017 Mae Young Classic, she was signed to a contract by WWE in 2019. She is a former one-time Artist of Stardom Champion, two-time ICW Women's Champion, one-time SWA World Champion, two-time WWE 24/7 Champion, and one-time WWE Women's Tag Team Champion.
Kimberly Benson was born on 6 May 1991, in Kilbirnie, Scotland. Growing up, she kept her love for professional wrestling a secret due to being worried that her female friends thought she was weird as they believed that it was only a sport for men. It wasn't until Benson was fifteen, and when her oldest nephew began to watch wrestling, that her passion was rekindled and she was open about enjoying wrestling.
Benson began training in professional wrestling at age fifteen, and according to her, she debuted one year after beginning her training. About her training, she said: "I got beat up, totally beat up. I remember lying in bed the next day, being so sore and in absolute agony, but I just loved it, I had to go back."
She was part of the special program of ITV World of Sport Wrestling celebrated on New Year's Eve 2016, and until April of that year, she was programmed to appear on a revival of the series. However, a month later before filming was set to begin, the project was postponed indefinitely. Benson's last match in independent circuit was at Scottish Wrestling Alliance Lion's Den in November 2019.
Benson made her debut for Insane Championship Wrestling at Tramspotting on 17 February 2013 under the ring name Viper. She became the inaugural ICW Women's Champion at Fear & Loathing VIII in a tournament final victory over Kay Lee Ray and Nikki Storm in November 2015. She regained the title in 2018 on an episode of ICW Fight Club before losing the title after 283 days to Kay Lee Ray in the inaugural Queen of Insanity match. She competed against ICW's men roster for a shot at the ICW World Heavyweight Championship in the 2019 Square Go! match which included the likes of Jeff Jarrett, Wolfgang, Andy Wild, Leyton Buzzard, Kez Evans, BT Gunn, Grado, Jackie Polo, Mark Coffey, Joe Hendry, Kenny Williams and others.
In 2017, Benson worked in Japan as Viper for the company World Wonder Ring Stardom. On 7 January of that year, at the event Stardom New Years Stars 2017 – Tag 2, she was part of the team "Oedo Tai" with Kagetsu and Kyoko Kimura as a replacement for Hana Kimura who was injured, where she tried to help the team to retain the Artist of Stardom Championship against "Queen's Quest" a team integrated by HZK, Io Shirai and Momo Watanabe, in which they were defeated and they lost the title. On 13 August, she joined Queen's Quest along with Shirai and HZK to face the team "Team Jungle" integrated by Hiroyo Matsumoto, Jungle Kyona and Kaori Yoneyama in a match for the Artist of Stardom Championship at the event Midsummer Champions 2017, in which they achieved to win the title and Viper crown herself champion. On 16 September, Viper participated at the event 5★Star Grand Prix 2017 of Stardom, where she draw with Mayu Iwatani both with 10 points. Along with Queen's Quest, managed to defend and retain the Artistic Championship three times before they left it vacant on 15 April 2018 after a draft executed by Stardom, ending their reign with 245. One month before that same year, on 28 March, she faced Toni Storm at the Stardom Dream Slam in Tokyo event in a match for her SWA World Championship, in which the ICW Women's Championship of Viper was also in the line, where she defeated Storm to capture the title, emerging victorious with both championships. Defended and retained the championship twice before losing it in a match against Utami Hayashishita at the Stardom 8th Anniversary event held on 14 January 2019, in which she also put her EVE International Championship at stake, where she was defeated and lost both titles, ending her reign with the SWA Championship in 292 days and with the EVE Championship in 92 days.
In 2017, WWE contacted Benson, asking her to participate in the women's tournament, Mae Young Classic. The event took place in 2017 and was an all-women tournament. Benson asked World of Sport Wrestling to release her from her contract to participate in the competition. She competed as "Piper Niven" because the ring name she had been competing under, Viper, had already become the nickname of fellow WWE superstar Randy Orton, and because she had played the bagpipes as a child, in addition to Niven being her father's first name. She defeated Santana Garrett in the first round and Serena Deeb in the second round, before being defeated by Toni Storm in the quarterfinals.
