10 WWE Vs. NXT Dream Matches We Need To See
9. Murphy Vs. Isaiah ‘Swerve’ Scott
Often, the best-fit pairings in the squared circle are those you wouldn’t expect. Not because you overrate the ability of the competitors involved, but rather you underrate a company like WWE to have the foresight to offer it.
As WWE’s ‘Best Kept Secret’, Murphy was the quietest of achievers you’ll ever come across during his 205 Live and pay-per-view pre-show circuit. Now as Seth Rollins' most loyal cult disciple, he has finally been given the platform to show off his exceptional skill on Raw, most notably in a hellacious series with Aleister Black.
On the other hand, the athletically bouncy Isaiah "Swerve" Scott is currently one of NXT’s most talented rising stars with humongous potential. However, for every megastar NXT has sent into the stratosphere, there are just as many lost causes (Johnny Gargano > Solomon Crowe). The former Lucha Underground sensation CANNOT fall into that hole.
Both superstars brood the undeniable confidence to produce a fiery psychological battle built on an unwillingness to lose. Also, they are two of the most impressive multi-dimensional competitors on their respective rosters, who bring a common stiffness to their striking and aerial game alike.
Murphy vs. Isaiah ‘Swerve’ Scott is the dream match you never knew you needed.
