Daniel Bryan, Buddy Murphy and more: 5 big name free agents people want to see in AEW

#2. Buddy Murphy to AEW

Buddy Murphy has tranformed

Should AEW sign Buddy Murphy, he will follow in the footsteps of Miro, Andrada 'El Idolo' and Malakai Black as world class talent released inexplicably by WWE to end up at AEW.

Buddy Murphy is as good a wrestler as they come. He is capable of being a high-flyer, as seen during his run in the WWE 205 Live division as the WWE Cruiserweight champion, or put on showstealing, hard-hitting, highly technical matches as seen in his battles on WWE's main shows against Aleister Black and Daniel Bryan.

Not just AEW, every promotion should be all over the Australian wrestler once his non-compete clause is over. The expiry date isn't too far off either, as Murphy is set to take on Brian Cage in an independent promotion in September in a highly anticipated return to the ring for "The Best Kept Secret."

At one point it did seem like WWE had major plans for Buddy Murphy, booking him strongly against the likes of Roman Reigns and Daniel Bryan. He had multiple excellent matches against Aleister Black but again, it amounted to nothing.

AEW will be just the right place for him to unleash himself as the sensational performer he is.

Well, speaking of Daniel Bryan...
