In late 2019 "The Monday Night Messiah" Seth Rollins began to recruit disciples for his "church" and Murphy has become his most loyal.
After a run of bad luck and defeats, Murphy was broken and defeated. Then on the January 13th edition of Monday Night RAW, he lost a second straight match against Aleister Black and sat dejected and lost outside of the ring. Murphy remained there until Rollins would plead with him to join his group in defeating the Big Show.
Murphy saw instant success as he and Rollins would capture the RAW Tag Team Championship from The Viking Raiders. Since then Murphy has been by Rollins' side.
Seth Rollins has taken great pleasure in tormenting not just Rey Mysterio but his entire family. Rollins and Mysterio have been at each other's throats for a long time which has resulted in some highly entertaining and off-the-wall matches and angles. Back in July at Extreme Rules, the two had an eye-for-an-eye match, which only finished when the opponent's eye was removed.
Not content on popping Rey Mysterio's eye out of its socket, he then went after his son Dominik. Rollins and Dominik would go on to have several great matches along the way. Their steel cage match on the September 20th edition of RAW had Rollins not only decimate Dominik in the cage, but also laid out Murphy after the match.
As the Mysterio family entered the cage to tend to Dominik, Aalyah Mysterio, Rey's 19-year-old daughter showed sympathy to Murphy and checked to see if he was okay.
Ever since becoming the maniacal Messiah, Rollins seems to have a manipulative hold over Murphy. Rolins has beaten and ridiculed Murphy backstage and at ringside, yet he remains a loyal follower to Rollins' "church". But Rollins went too far when he revealed a DM conversation between Murphy and Aalyah.
The two then became friendly much to her family's chagrin, which has seen the Mysterios become unglued.
This has been one of the main storylines on RAW for a long time, maybe too long for some. But with Seth Rollis and Murphy seemingly over as a team and the WWE draft right around the corner, we could see all parties sent to different brands.
In this article, we will look at five potential endings for the Seth Rollins and Murphy feud.
#5 Murphy serves Seth Rollins his comeuppance
After months of abuse suffered at the hands of Rollins, Murphy finally snapped and turned on Rollins.
The follower became the aggressor against his leader in what looks and feels like a babyface turn for the former cruiserweight champion.
Way before he became a disciple, fans knew Murphy as “The Best Kept Secret” on 205 Live. His feud and matches with Ali on the cruiserweight show were the best of 2018. When Murphy made his main roster debut on SmackDown the following year, he got a significant career boost by facing Roman Reigns and Daniel Bryan in the space of two weeks. Both were fantastic performances and looked as if he were destined for the next level.
Unfortunately, he was drafted to RAW and was unable to recapture the momentum. It wasn’t until he joined Rollins that career picked up.
A one-on-one match with Rollins would be excellent as both are on top of their game and a win for Murphy over one of, if not the top heels in the company, would be a massive moment for him and solidify his babyface status.
#4 Seth Rollins leaves his mark
Seth Rollins is one of the best and most devious heels in the business right now. He has mercilessly destroyed everyone in his path, and Murphy is next in line.
Murphy stood up to Rollins and demanded an apology not just for the constant humiliation and physical abuse but for his actions against Aalyah. The first thing Rollins did was bite back and put Murphy in his place.
Things would turn violent, and despite getting his licks in, Murphy ultimately succumbed to The Monday Night Messiah’s dastardly ways and was saved by Aalyah Mysterio.
This situation now leaves Rollins as a Messiah without a disciple. But this may not be a bad thing. If the past few months has taught us anything it is that Rollins has grown more robust and more vicious as his flock has depleted. Now down to a house of one, Rollins could turn up the villainy and make an example of Murphy by annihilating, defeating and sending him off packing to SmackDown.
#3 Seth Rollins vs Murphy in a Hell in a Cell match
The heat between Rollins and Murphy is far too much for RAW and deserves to end in a big way on a pay-per-view level.
Hell in a Cell is the next pay-per-view in the calendar for WWE and could be a fitting end to this intense feud.
Rollins is no stranger to Hell in a Cell. He has been inside the “Devil’s Playground” three times and would hold the advantage over his former disciple.
Murphy has never been in a match like Hell in a Cell and has no way of what to expect if he gets inside the unforgiving structure. However, back in 2018, Murphy had one of the best No Disqualification matches in WWE history.
He and Ali tore it up on 205 Live and their feud culminated in a brutal and violent match. This match proved that Murphy has no problem inflicting damage to his opponent, so if he and Rollins were to step into a cell, Murphy would be more than able to handle himself.
A cell match is often seen as a feud-ending battle, and this would be the perfect way to complete one of the longest-running rivalries WWE has played out in years.
The match would be brutal and violent, everything that the entire Rollins, Murphy and Mysterio feud has been.
#2 Seth Rollins vs Murphy in a Kendo Stick on a pole match
If there has been one thing synonymous thorough this entire feud it has been the Kendo stick.
It has been the weapon of choice by everyone involved in the intense rivalry. First coming into use when Rollins destroyed Dominik Mysterio’s entire body, ripping and bruising his arms, back, ribs, chest and stomach, in a disturbing beatdown.
Dominik and Rey Mysterio got their revenge on Seth Rollins two weeks later, laying into the Messiah with a brutal barrage of shots from all angles.
The Kendo stick would continue to pop up throughout many segments and matches. Rollins vs Dominik's Summerslam Street Fight match wasted little time in getting the weapon involved.
Murphy would also be at the wrong end of a Kendo stick when all four members of the Mysterio family beat him like a piñata in the middle of the ring.
This past week on RAW, when Murphy snapped on Rollins, one of the first things he did was to snap a Kendo stick around his body. Rollins would retaliate with his own stick-swinging skills.
Seth Rollins vs Murphy in a Kendo stick on a pole match would be a fitting end to a feud in which the Kendo stick has been a major factor.
#1 Seth Rollins and Murphy planned it all along
Seth Rollins is as cunning and conniving as they come, and Murphy has proved time and time again that he is a loyal disciple.
The Messiah's feud with the Mysterios is borderline obsessive. It all started in May with matches against Rey Mysterio, which would result in a missing eye. Domimik would follow in August at Summerslam and after many intense matches, Rollins would turn his attentions to Aalyah.
Aalyah became the central part of the stroyline ever since she showed sympathy toward Murphy as he lay beaten after yet another attack by his leader, The Monday Night Messiah.
Her actions set the wrestling world alight as it seemed a new storyline was on its way between them. Aalyah has been featured heavily in the weeks following the angle with her, and the two have been protective of one another.
Things between Rollins, Murphy and the Mysterio family escalted when he would expose a DM conversation between Murphy and Aalyah.
This was the final straw for the long suffering follower and Murphy would take revenge on Rollins.
The relationship between Aalyah and Murphy is driving a wedge between Aalyah and her family, which is exactly what the evil and manical Rollins wants. As we have seen in the past, despite the constant abuse, Murphy has been a loyal subject and follower of him.
Rollins and Murphy being on the same page and using Aalyah to destroy the Mysterio family from within, would go down as one of cruelest and most villainous plots in WWE history.
