#3 Buddy Murphy (Former WWE Cruiserweight and Tag Team Champion)

Murphy definitely deserved better on the WWE main roster

WWE Superstar Buddy Murphy was criminally underused on the main roster. He was excellent in the Cruiserweight division but rarely got the opportunity to replicate that success when he moved to WWE RAW.

All it took was one match against Aleister Black for the higher-ups to see how well he could work inside the ring.

Following that, he allied with Seth Rollins, only to eventually betray The Messiah. Murphy also moved to WWE SmackDown and was involved in an extended romantic angle with Rey Mysterio’s daughter, Aalyah.

Apart from that, Buddy Murphy surprisingly doesn’t have more prominent main roster highlights to his name, but that should have never been the case.

Murphy was always incredibly talented, and a potential feud between him and Dominik Mysterio could have worked out well for both superstars. The former Cruiserweight Champion's skills, both inside and outside the ring, are the kind that makes storylines engaging for the viewers.

After Murphy's release, WWE should keep an eye on his work, and hopefully, they will look to bring him back to the promotion at the right time.
