No—not through any cure mechanic documented in the sources cited here. The Weakness-and-golden-apple method is for zombie villagers, not zombified piglins.
Can a zombified piglin be cured?
No cure for a zombified piglin is documented in the sources cited here. The Minecraft Wiki’s Piglin reference describes piglin zombification and related Java Edition entity data, but does not give a reverse cure method. This is a conclusion about the documented mechanic—not a guarantee about every mod, add-on, or future Minecraft update.
Why do piglins become zombified?
Mojang’s Bedrock 1.16.0 Nether Update notes say that “Piglins that somehow end up in the overworld become zombified fairly quickly.” The notes also establish the current name: “Zombie pigmen are now known as zombified piglins.” Those are historical Bedrock release notes, published June 23, 2020; they explain the name and conversion, not a cure. Read the Bedrock 1.16.0 notes.
Does the zombie-villager cure work?
No documented source supports using the zombie-villager cure on a zombified piglin. The Minecraft Wiki’s zombie-villager curing tutorial describes applying Weakness and then using a golden apple to cure a zombie villager. That is a different mob and a separate mechanic; those steps are not a zombified-piglin cure.

Can you stop a piglin from becoming zombified?
The Piglin reference describes Java Edition entity data related to preventing transformation: IsImmuneToZombification can make a piglin immune, and TimeInOverworld is associated with transformation after 300 ticks. These are details about a piglin’s conversion—not a way to reverse zombification once it has happened. The cited reference does not establish that these data values are available as ordinary player-facing controls in every edition.
