Despite knocking on Aleister Black’s door, Buddy Murphy hasn’t given The Dutch Destroyer the fight he so clearly craves. So, Black went looking for it elsewhere, toppling a very, very game Tony Nese on Raw in a match that that ended with a Black Mass to the chiseled jaw of The Premier Athlete.
Not that it impressed Murphy much. The Best Kept Secret watched the match stone-faced and sore-jawed — or, as he referred to it in a post-match interview, “cool, calm and collected.” Murphy also offered Black the professional advice that he should calm down. Buddy even volunteered to calm Aleister down himself, as sure a sign as any that this fight is likely just beginning, even if both men are content to stay at arm’s length for the time being.
