#4 Buddy Murphy vs Tony Nese for the WWE Cruiserweight Title

These two cruiserweights are going to face off at Mania

After going through a grueling Cruiserweight title shot tournament, Tony Nese managed to defeat former champion Cedric Alexander in the finals. At WrestleMania, we will see Nese take on the current champion Buddy Murphy for the Cruiserweight championship.

Unfortunately, we will most probably see the match relegated to the pre-show, as has usually been the case with the Cruiserweight title matches on PPVs. Nevertheless, it's a lock that these two former friends and training partners are going to have a match for the ages at MetLife Stadium.

It's a shame that there won't be a packed stadium to watch the action unfold, as people tend to fill up the seats during the pre-show. Hopefully, WWE puts this match on the main card and fills up the pre-show card with the two battle royals.

He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
