3. Australia - Buddy Murphy (Sidgwick)

Buddy might be in luck; with so many upcoming shows across the entire expanse of the globe, Vince McMahon might forget where he is, and book the antipodean to bring it home for his native people. And who’s going to correct him? They’re all sh*t-scared of the man, and it’s only Saudi Arabia.

Performing exclusively on the barren landscape of 205 Live (which will henceforth be taped), Murphy is used to the desert climate, and to be less flippant, is not a dime a dozen flippy sh*t guy but a powerhouse in legitimately firecracker form deserving of a decent profile. Crown Jewel isn’t really that—the audience tended to not care at all in April—but those watching on the WWE Network may yet receive him as the banger generator he is.
