#9 Buddy Murphy
We've seen performers cut weight over the years, and when they go back to their natural weight, they absolutely dominate, and now that The Best Kept Secret is free of the 205-pound limit, the sky is the limit. Murphy has every tool at his disposal to become a main event star within WWE, but with so many ahead of him, his 2019 will no doubt be focused on dethroning Finn Balor as Intercontinental Champion.
Every time The Juggernaut appeared on a main roster PPV as a member of 205 Live, he arguably stole the show, so now with more time to tell stories and more fans invested in him, this could be the year of Buddy Murphy. Ultimately, Smackdown Live is a very stacked roster right now, and with the move to Fox, we don't know how things are going to play out, but the cream always rises to the top, and that includes Main Event Murphy.
