WWE superstar Piper Niven had the perfect way to respond after some fans tried to derail her big moment on SmackDown. The Scottish wrestler, who will take on Bayley for the WWE Women’s Championship next weekend in Glasgow at Clash At The Castle , proved her potential as a major force on Friday night despite some of the crowd belittling her. Despite ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin creating them over two decades ago, the ‘What?’ chants he made popular still ring out in stadiums across the United States.
Plenty of fans have moved on, but others still attempt to distract from what the superstars are saying by shouting it in between lines in their promos. Although former champ Piper ’s heartfelt words resonated with viewers around the world, the ‘What?’ chants started, and she joined the long list of superstars finding creative ways to shut them down. In an absolutely savage moment, she simply said, ‘Inbreds say what?’ without missing a beat, and unfortunately for the Kentucky crowd, they weren’t quite fast enough to avoid her trap.
Piper’s little smirk said it all, and fans online were delighted with her response – but most people agreed the chant itself is very tired by this point. ‘Good way to respond to those chants. Sick of Americans being disrespectful to anybody who has an accent with the USA or WHAT chants,’ wrote @Cory_Hays407, while @DreamCJen added: ‘Piper is so good.
She deserves so much better.’ ‘The promo of her life 👏🏻👏🏻,’.
