5 possible surprises we could see during the 2019 Superstar Shakeup

#3 Buddy Murphy shows up on Raw or Smackdown

Murphy could be moving beyond 205 Live.

At the start of last year, Buddy Murphy was an afterthought. He was a mid-card wrestler on NXT and nobody really cared about him. He then lost weight and just about made the 205 Live roster. Murphy grabbed the opportunity with both arms and put on some of the best performances one could possibly put on, in matches with the likes of Cedric Alexander and Mustafa Ali. He became the Cruiserweight Champion in his hometown of Melbourne, Australia at the Super Showdown pay-per-view. Since then, Murphy has had some great title defences against all of 205 Live's top faces.

Now, after losing his title to Tony Nese at WrestleMania, there is nothing left for Murphy to do in 205 Live. An obvious route for him would be following his former rival, Mustafa Ali onto the main roster. He would be an excellent addition to any show and could make an impact similar to the one Ali made when he first arrived. However, Murphy first has an NXT North American Championship match with Velveteen Dream on next week's NXT. This might be to swerve us into thinking he would not show up on Raw or Smackdown. But that's what the Superstar Shakeup is all about, swerves and surprises.
