Buddy Murphy Facts
- His ring name in WWE is a reference to the fellow Aussie, soccer player Marc Murphy, who played for Buddy’s favorite soccer club.
- He held the title of an NXT Tag Team Champion for almost 219 days. He later became annoyed that “the fans didn’t know which one was Blake and which one was Murphy.” Buddy stated that it created a feeling of having a chip on his shoulder to prove himself.
- Between late 2016 and late 2017, Buddy hit “NXT rock bottom” and didn’t appear on TV for more than a year. He was “soul searching, running through the motions, and just counting the days left.”
- At the end of 2017, Buddy came back to appear in a singles match against Aleister Black. He was described as having “stolen the show for 3 nights straight” on the NXT live event tour, which reignited his passion for wrestling.
- Buddy has a great relationship with the boss of WWE, Vince McMahon, and has heard mainly positive things from him. He wishes to hear more negative feedback so that critique can make him better.
- He was featured as a downloadable character in the video games WWE 2K16 and WWE 2K17 alongside his duo teammate, Wesley Blake. Unlike Blake, Buddy was also scheduled to make a solo appearance in the WWE 2K20 video game.
- Buddy is his biggest critic and always looks for the things he did wrong in the past, rather than the things he did right.
- In 2018, after winning the Cruiserweight Championship at WWE’s Super Show-Down, Buddy became the 1st Australian male to do so. It was also his 1st singles title in WWE.
