Originally, I was going to slot Buddy Murphy's loss in the best/worst section because it would be the third match in a row that he has lost. And honestly, even though Aleister Black was clearly the star with more potential among the two, Buddy Murphy is no slouch either. We all saw just how good he was on 205 Live.
But the way the match played out, with Buddy Murphy sitting dejected at ringside and with him joining Seth Rollins' stable was absolute gold, in my personal opinion. This is a guy who has much potential but he also needs the help of an established star like Seth Rollins, to go to the next level in my opinion. When he turns babyface or Rollins does, there's also going to be a fantastic match between the two men that I can't wait for!
Buddy Murphy could certainly elevate the mid-card scene in WWE and maybe even result in someone promising like Andrade turning face in due course of time.
