At WWE Super Show-Down, “The Juggernaut” Buddy Murphy was able to end the Age of Alexander, defeating Cedric Alexander for the Cruiserweight Championship in his hometown of Melbourne, Australia.
This title win marked a pretty unique point in WWE history and has forever etched Murphy’s name in the record books, as he is the first Australian wrestler in WWE history to win a singles championship.

Murphy actually already met a first in NXT, becoming the first Australian superstar to hold a WWE title when he captured the NXT Tag Team Titles with Wesley Blake.

Now, with championship gold again around his waist, Buddy Murphy looks to change the landscape of 205 Live. With Cedric Alexander finally vanquished, will there be a new challenger for Murphy, or will the Soul of 205 Live look for retribution?
