Last year the Seth Rollins vs. Rey Mysterio feud dominated WWE programming, and in the months that the angle played out the storyline was expanded to include more members of the Mysterio family, and of course Buddy Murphy.
Buddy Murphy ended up getting a lot of TV time thanks to the feud, and at one point he turned on Seth Rollins and started an on screen romance with Aalyah Mysterio. Eventually Murphy’s storyline with Aalyah fizzled out, and it was teased that he could reunite with Rollins, but ultimately the tease went nowhere.
The former WWE Cruiserweight Champion recently spoke to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful, and said that originally the plan was for him to end up back with Rollins.
“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. 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.”
Buddy Murphy was released on June 2nd, but WWE reportedly called him in a panic following his release and you can get more on that here.
