Will Murphy Get His Shot?
Last week, Buddy Murphy made it very clear to GM Drake Maverick that he wanted a crack at the title. This week, he has a chance to move one step closer to that goal. It was announced at the end of the broadcast that the former NXT tag team star would take on the man Cedric Alexander beat for the championship, Mustafa Ali. Nothing has been formally announced, but it’s likely that this match will serve as a Number One Contender’s bout. Expect Cedric to appear in some capacity, either as a guest commentator or sometime after the match.
In the previous meeting between the two, Ali got the better of Murphy in an excellent match. This was, of course, during the Cruiserweight Championship tournament. Since then, Murphy has established himself as a top player on the brand. After having his title shot at Greatest Royal Rumble taken away, he’s eager to get that win over Ali back. Expect another fine outing from the two, and a more vicious, dominant Buddy Murphy.
