Buddy Murphy: 5 pivotal moments that show he was destined for WWE's main event scene

#2 A string of wins

In red-hot form, Murphy leaves Zack Ryder a beaten man after their RAW meeting

Winning streaks are a valuable way for a WWE Superstar to gather momentum and aid their presentation as a credible threat to the rest of the roster. After all, even in the pre-determined world of professional wrestling, there’s little that ‘looks’ more impressive than a talent that racks up win after win over the course of a number of weeks.

That’s the treatment Buddy Murphy was afforded after being drafted to RAW as part of the blockbuster 2019 Draft that heralded new beginnings for many a superstar who might have considered themselves overlooked on a previous brand.

Though never necessarily stealing the show or dominating screen time, Murphy quietly went about his business, first knocking off R-Truth and former Cruiserweight Alexander, before also getting the better of Akira Tozawa, Matt Hardy, and Zack Ryder to help solidify not only his place on the RAW roster but also his position as part of the weekly television product.
