5 Surprising moments from WWE TLC 2019

#4 Fourteen Minutes for Aleister Black and Buddy Murphy

It is one of many brutal kicks on Sunday night.

If you would have told me that Aleister Black and Buddy Murphy would get a main roster WWE pay-per-view match against each other in 2019, I would assume you were lying. If you told me they would get nearly fifteen minutes to put on that amazing match, then that would be one of the biggest surprises of the entire professional wrestling year.

This match, along with the incredible Tag Team Ladder Match, was easily the show stealer at WWE Tables, Ladders and Chairs. Buddy Murphy and Aleister Black are tremendous wrestlers, but they have been virtually invisible in the main roster storylines for a vast majority of this year. It made it easy to forget how good both of them are in the wrestling ring.

Their match on Sunday was a fast-paced and hard hitting encounter by two of the most talented competitors in WWE. The kicks were stiff, the near falls were believable, and Black's bloody nose added to the brutality of the match. It truly seemed like each man could win until Aleister hit a perfect looking Black Mass to Murphy’s chin. Let us hope this surprising showcase leads to great things for both men in 2020. They deserve it after Sunday night.
