#3 Buddy Murphy: Crusierweight title

Who cares about the Crusierweight title anymore?

While that might sound a little mean and dismissive, the title hasn't been nearly as popular since their superstars were removed from the Monday Night Raw roster last year. Of course that's not necessarily the roster's fault, especially since the company had to restructure 205 Live after The Enzo Amore incident, but one has to wonder why they went with taking the competitors off Raw.

Not only did that instantly turn 205 Live into a niche product on The WWE Network, it basically doomed every superstar on the roster into irrelevancy. In fact, the crusierweight title isn't even defended very often, and when it is, it's usually not even noticed by a majority of the WWE Universe.

For that reason and more, Buddy Murphy is one of the worst booked champions in WWE right now. In the end, it's tragic what WWE is doing to Murphy and the rest of The 205 Live roster and they deserve a lot more exposure than what is currently being given to them right now.

Think about it! The Crusierweight title used to be good enough to main event Monday Night Raw. It was also a point of fast paced action that fans both at home and the arena seemed to enjoy. If nothing else, WWE needs to bring the Crusierweight division back on Monday Night Raw, and stop making them a separate entity.
