Mustafa Ali battles NXT Superstar Buddy Murphy in the quarterfinals of the WWE Cruiserweight Championship Tournament.

Returning to Cruiserweight competition last week, Buddy Murphy let out his frustrations on his opponent before brawling with WWE Cruiserweight Champion Cedric Alexander. The Australian Superstar had an opportunity to face Alexander for the title at the Greatest Royal Rumble event but failed to make weight.

Murphy has since returned to WWE 205 Live, and his frustrations are well-known, as is his intention to face The Soul of WWE 205 Live for the championship. There is certainly an enormous amount of animosity between the champion and his potential challenger, but tonight Murphy will face Alexander’s friend, The Heart of WWE 205 Live, Mustafa Ali.

During the WWE Cruiserweight Championship Tournament, Ali ended Murphy’s hopes of a WrestleMania moment before advancing to The Grandest Stage of Them All to face Alexander for the championship. With a major opportunity to prove himself, can Murphy best Ali and make the case that he is ready to compete for the ultimate prize in the Cruiserweight division?
