10 Superstars who deserve to be Universal or WWE Champions

Ciampa has been dominant as the NXT champion

#8 Buddy Murphy

Many people used to call him "Mr. Alexa Bliss," as he has been engaged to the Raw women's division superstar for some time.

However, his foray into 205 Live and insanely good matches with everyone from Mustafa Ali to Cedric Alexander have made those people shut their mouths.

The hidden story behind JBL and a WWE writer

Buddy Murphy is a capable cruiserweight champion, and might even be the best cruiserweight champion WWE has as of yet put the belt on, but it feels like he could be capable of so much more.

Why he deserves to be Universal or WWE Champion

Buddy Murphy was once called by WWE COO Triple H--also the head of the NXT brand--"NXT's best-kept secret."

Despite being in a tag team with Wesley Blake, he failed to make much of an impact on NXT even though he was one of the most gifted wrestlers on the roster.

With pro wrestling moving away from behemoths like Brock Lesnar and toward faster, more agile athletes like AJ Styles, the time may be right for Buddy Murphy to come into his own in the main event picture.
