8 wrestling rumors we hope are true and 8 we hope aren't: WWE 'unhappy' with 5-time World Champion, Top heel set for big face turn?

#3. Hope isn't true: Further blow to Seth Rollins' faction

Buddy Murphy was pulled from his recent appearances

Murphy is a Superstar who has greatly benefited from moving to RAW late last year. Despite his losses to Aleister Black in an excellent trilogy, he would get his push soon after the last match ended, as he joined Seth Rollins' faction and aligned with The Monday Night Messiah and The AoP.

As mentioned earlier, Rezar is out for 7-8 months, which could likely mean that Akam will be absent in that period as well.

According to PW Insider (via Cagesideseats), Murphy was pulled from his latest RAW appearance as he wasn't medically cleared:

According to PW Insider, Murphy was supposed to be on Monday Night Raw this past week but he wasn’t cleared for the show.

While it's not known whether it's a niggling injury or one that'll keep him out for a while, we hope this isn't true. He was in a big spot and was in the perfect place to propel him to the next stage of his career. If it is true, we can only hope that it's a minor injury.
