WWE Super Show-Down: Analysing and grading each match

#7 Cruiserweight Championship: Buddy Murphy def. Cedric Alexander (c)

Cedric Alexander had been champion since WrestleMania 34

Match: Buddy Murphy almost got the win within seconds when he caught Cedric Alexander with a knee to the face. Both men had lots of impressive offence, notably Alexander when he landed a Michinoku Driver from the top rope and Murphy when he hit a sit-out powerbomb from the corner. In the end, Murphy kicked out of the Lumbar Check before connecting with another knee, followed by a Pumphandle Death Valley Driver, to win the title in front of his hometown crowd.

Verdict: This was the biggest match of Murphy's career and he didn't disappoint. WWE's "Best Kept Secret" received the most passionate crowd reactions on a night that he will never forget. Alexander has been a decent champion for 205 Live but the high-flying Murphy showed here that he is perfectly capable of being the brand's top guy.

Grade: A
