After spending about five years on NXT, Murphy lost 25 pounds and requested to be a part of 205 Live.

He spent the next several months in pursuit of the cruiserweight title and finally got his chance to shine when he met Cedric Alexander at Super ShowDown in his hometown of Melbourne, Australia. Murphy won the title and became the first Australian wrestler to achieve the feat.

Recently, Murphy got involved in a major angle on SmackDown Live, which resulted in him facing Daniel Bryan on the latest episode. Surprisingly, Murphy defeated Bryan and turned babyface in the process.

A Gauntlet Match on the February 12, 2019, episode of SmackDown Live saw Kofi Kingston giving a star-making performance. This match is rightfully dubbed by many as the moment KofiMania was born.

Kingston lasted almost an hour, defeating three major stars in the process. Kofi pinned Bryan to a loud ovation, followed by victories over Jeff Hardy and Samoa Joe, with AJ Styles finally putting him down.

The reception Kofi received during the match made WWE aware of the fact that the fans wanted to see him win the big one. Kingston went on to defeat Daniel Bryan for the WWE title at WrestleMania 35 and is now one of the most protected champions in recent memory.
