What happens when two hungry individuals who've come up to the main roster from 205 Live get to tear it up on SmackDown Live and showcase to the fans in attendance that the purple brand is worth checking out? We will know the answer this week when Buddy Murphy takes on Ali.

Bear in mind that this is a clash that should cater to the hardcore fans, fans who understand and appreciate excellent in-ring work over skits and drama. It may be a wise move to have this match ahead of AEW All Out, which will cater to a very similar audience too.

I fully expect Buddy Murphy to pick up a big win in this match because Daniel Bryan will not put you over unless you're someone that WWE has big plans for, in the days to follow. He's done the same with Ali as well, but Ali's push got cut short prematurely when, out of the blue, he suffered from an unfortunate injury leading to what has become known as KofiMania across the wrestling world.

You will need seatbelts for this contest, because these men will go at it, at two thousand miles/hour!
