4 Potential Opponents for Buddy Murphy at WrestleMania 35

#4 Mike Kanellis

Mike and Maria Kanellis

Mike Kanellis' WWE run hasn't been anything to write home about. The former ROH and Impact Wrestling star debuted in the company along with his real-life wife, Maria Kanellis, at Money in the Bank 2017 and was immediately put in a feud with Sami Zayn, which is the only major singles feud that the former Mike Benett has had ever since arriving on the WWE.

Mike and his wife Maria had a long lay-off from wrestling due to Maria's pregnancy and Mike's battle with drug abuse, which saw the duo being off for TV for the major part of 2018.

The duo made their return to the WWE in late 2018 as part of the cruiserweight division. While Mike hasn't done anything substantial since arriving on 205 Live, he could be in for a huge title opportunity in the near future.

With the recent reports of the Kanellis's requesting for their release for their company and the cut-throat competition following the announcement of AEW, Mike could well on his way to a cruiserweight title match against Buddy Murphy at WrestleMania 35.

Kanellis is a very good worker inside the ring and if given the right opportunity can be a major player in the cruiserweight division. A match against Murphy at the Grandest Stage will not only allow Mike to showcase his skills in front of the whole world but would also be a moment of redemption for the 205 Live star, given the hardships he has been through over the past one and half year.
