Another superstar who is set to make a switch to the blue brand is none other than Buddy Murphy. The Australian superstar claims to be WWE's "best-kept secret" and after his run on 205 Live, who can blame him for having a stake to that claim?

Murphy is a former Cruiserweight Champion, and he practically ran 205 Live for 7 months before dropping the title to Tony Nese at WrestleMania 35 on the kick-off show.

He has also held tag team gold over on NXT, where he was one half of the Tag Team Champion alongside Blake as the duo "Blake and Murphy" in 2015.

The reason why he may be next in line to be the next Intercontinental Champion is that WWE seems to be very high on him, especially as Triple H has publically supported Murphy in the past.

He has put on plenty of great matches over on 205 Live, as his experience on the Cruiserweight brand has allowed him to build up his confidence not only in the ring but on the mic as well.

After working hard on NXT and 205 Live to finally move up to the main roster, there is no denying that Murphy emerges as a contender to defeat Balor for the Intercontinental title in the near future.
