Ever since vigorously cutting weight to qualify for the WWE Cruiserweight division, Buddy Murphy has been hyper-focused on one goal – winning the WWE Cruiserweight Championship. The road to the title was not always easy for The Juggernaut; following an impressive debut in the WWE Cruiserweight Championship Tournament for the vacant title just prior to WrestleMania, Murphy was eliminated by Mustafa Ali. However, after winning a Fatal 4-Way Match, Murphy earned his first title opportunity in May. After a few setbacks with his weight, he eventually challenged Cedric Alexander for the title, and while he came up short, he remained focused on returning to championship contention.
Murphy once again fought for the title at WWE Super Show-Down in his hometown of Melbourne, Australia, and at the end of a hard-fought battle that brought he WWE Universe to the edge of their seats, The Juggernaut did what no one else has been able to this year — defeat Cedric Alexander. With Melbourne elated at their hometown hero’s victory, a new era dawned for WWE 205 Live.
