10 Best Booked Wrestlers In WWE Today
6. Buddy Murphy
WWE treat 205 Live like sh*t. The lack of focus, insistence on relegating Cruiserweight Title bouts to pay-per-view Kickoff Shows, and unattractive taping schedule has conditioned the fanbase into believing these guys aren't worth caring about. A shame, as 205 is quietly one of the company's best-booked brands, and its roster is a treasure trove of exciting athletes (Cedric Alexander), brutal technicians (Drew Gulak), and charismatic adrenaline machines (Akira Tozawa).
Reigning champion Buddy Murphy sits at the top of that pile, and his booking has been immaculate since winning the gold in his Melbourne hometown at Super Show-Down.
The Australian has been outstanding since escaping from NXT's "To Release" list and transitioning to the Cruiserweight show in early 2018. Fortunately, his presentation has been of the same quality, with WWE carefully establishing him as a clear divisional ace. Buddy can talk, and he understands his character, but the way they've established him as a seemingly indomitable champion (with the right amount of protection) has taken his star to the next level, and it ensures a big rub when they eventually find the right babyface to dethrone him.
