The Best Kept Secret is one of the fastest rising stars in WWE today. About a month and a half ago, the WWE Universe was ignorant of the gift that was Buddy Murphy, but the story is entirely different now. Murphy played a crucial role in the storyline behind Roman Reigns' attacker over the summer, which also earned him several high-profile matches.
First, he faced off against Reigns and proved to be a tough adversary for the Big Dog. Murphy amazed fans all over the world and looked strong even in defeat. The following week, Murphy took on Daniel Bryan in a thrilling match which saw the youngster earn a pinfall.
The former cruiserweight would then meet a familiar foe in Ali, in the first round of the King of the Ring tournament. Although Murphy ended up losing, he won the hearts of many fans.
The King of Strong Style and WWE's Best Kept Secret haven't faced off in a WWE ring till now, but the encounter could give rise to some unparalleled action. Many fans are pleased with Murphy's character and in-ring skills, and they wouldn't mind if he takes the IC title away from Nakamura.
