Here is what he had to say:
“The endgame was that I was gonna be back with Seth.That was the endgame. I don’t think they had any idea about the Aalyah thing. It was just to throw a little friction in there but the whole endgame was for me to come back with Seth and then just out of nowhere it became ‘Buddy wouldn’t go back with Seth’. I was like “What? Why wouldn’t I go back with Seth?” This is when he had our first match and he beat me.”
“I was meant to be the second coming of Seth,” Murphy continued. “I’m learning from this guy that has held championships in all divisions. So the idea was that when I think that I’m really good and he beats me, I’m obviously not as good as I think I am. So I’m gonna go back with him because I don’t think that I have learned enough.”
Murphy was recently released by WWE alongside handful of talents due to budget cuts. We will see where he ends up in the future.
