Buddy Murphy is searching for a new opponent after a memorable debut on SmackDown Live. If the former Cruiserweight Champion starts a new feud with the Intercontinental Champion, it could be highly beneficial in his short career on the main roster. Murphy is extremely talented in the squared circle, and he is a worthy competitor of facing Nakamura.

The Australian Superstar made an excellent first impression, making his main roster debut a few weeks ago. Although he was part of the Blue Brand for several months, he didn't get the opportunity of performing in the ring. When he got involved in the storyline of Roman Reigns, he made his long-awaited debut against the Big Dog, losing the bout after an incredible performance. Murphy shocked everyone in the following week, pinning the former WWE Champion Daniel Bryan. His last match was in the first round of King of the Ring tournament, which he lost to Ali.

Given his recent performances, the company has big plans for the former Cruiserweight Champion. With his current momentum, Murphy could produce a stupendous rivalry with Nakamura. If he gets a title shot, he might come close to winning his first main roster title.
