4 blockbuster showdowns that can decide the WWE King of the Ring tournament

#4 Ricochet (Raw) Vs. Buddy Murphy (SmackDown Live)

This could be a masterpiece

If the plan is to indeed showcase the agility and athleticism of the up-and-coming WWE performers, then a match of this magnitude must decide the King of the Ring tournament.

Buddy Murphy, who is yet to make his mark on the main roster, could benefit from reaching the Finals of the tournament and fight for the ultimate prize.

The former 205 Live Superstar proved his mettle by delivering one of the best matches of the year with Roman Reigns last night on SmackDown Live.

With The Big Dog's mystery attacker storyline still working fine on the Blue Brand, Murphy will very well be a part of the weekly programming, if not the focus of the narrative.

On the other hand, a tournament of such honour and privilege organically suits a Superstar like Ricochet, who certainly has a lot of backing from the management behind-the-scenes.

With Paul Heyman legitimately impressed with the One and Only, the creative team could effectively present this bout in the Finals, with Buddy Murphy also being presented as a legitimate threat to the former NXT North American Champion.

Even if the former Cruiserweight Champion comes out on the losing side, reaching the Finals and delivering a stellar performance could be decisive in building him up as a top-tier performer.
