Few could have predicted the year that Buddy Murphy had. When he started out, he was calling himself the "best kept secret" in WWE. In December, he's not that anymore.

Even though Cedric Alexander held the championship for most of the year, Buddy Murphy was the one carrying the show. His victory in October was overdue.
Murphy's matches routinely were some of the best in every month, beginning in the Cruiserweight Championship tournament at the start of the year. His match against Cedric Alexander on May 29th is in WWE's match of the year collection on the Network.
2018 was the story of how Murphy went from virtual unknown to can't-miss superstar. Whenever he's performing, you need to take notice.
