Murphy tried to aid his Messiah, Seth Rollins during his cage match against Dominik Mysterio on Monday Night RAW. However, doing so ended up hurting more than it helped. In fact, Murphy ended up accidentally almost costing Rollins the match by hitting him with the cage door, which caused his leader to become irate.

Of course Murphy tried to redeem himself by blocking Dominik from exiting the cage, but that wasn't enough to satisfy Rollins, despite picking up the victory. Unfortunately for Murphy, this resulted in Rollins laying a beat down on his disciple before leaving him in a crumpled heap.

With that being said and Aalyah Mysterio checking on Murphy after the match, it seems like WWE has plans for Rollins' former disciple to join the Mysterio family is some capacity. While it's impossible to know what will happen for sure, here are five signs that Murphy ends up joining forces with the Mysterios.

Murphy joining forces with the Mysterio family seems impossible at this point, especially after all the torment he has put the family through. However, Aalyah coming to check on Murphy seems to point at some kind of interest between the two.

It was almost like Aalyah felt sympathy for Murphy, even after all he had done, and was trying to offer him a helping hand. Whether the moment was intentional or not is up to anyone's interpretation, but WWE should definitely capitalise on it now that there is interest.

Of course WWE fans are usually suckers for a relationship storyline, which might be what the company is going for here. Either that, or this is Murphy's way of joining the Mysterio family in some capacity. It would serve as an interesting swerve to the current storyline.

#4. Murphy would be a great tag team partner for Dominik

It's no secret that Murphy has the definition of an explosive offence and that characteristic would mesh quite nicely if he teamed with Dominik in some capacity. It might even be an interesting way to insert the two in the tag team division and eventually have them win the championships.

Maybe Seth Rollins finds himself a new disciple after the departure of Murphy and uses them to do battle with the newly formed group. If WWE wanted to go further than that, they could incorporate the tag team titles into the picture and make it more than a vengeance story.

In the end, using Murphy as a tag team partner for Dominik would be a great way to settle him in as a Superstar. It would give him valuable experience in the process and also continue the storyline with Rollins. It could even result in a sort of passing of the torch moment, which would really benefit Dominik's career.

#3. Murphy feeling guilty for hurting the Mysterio family

Buddy Murphy has caused a lot of problems for The Mysterio family these last couple of months.

Murphy has to despise the man that he sees in the mirror right now. Not only is that evident by the way the man helped torture an innocent family for months, but also by all the bodies he left in his wake. This means that Murphy has a lot to atone for in the coming weeks and it could start with joining the Mysterio family.

In all honesty, Murphy's character has to feel a lot of guilt after what he did to the Mysterio family. This should drive him towards some kind of redemption storyline. Whether that manifests in joining the family to battle Rollins or otherwise remains to be seen, but the possibilities are endless with this one.

Furthermore, WWE seems to have a lot of interest in keeping this storyline going. That's why they are going to need some twists and turns along the way. If nothing else, having Murphy join the family would be a nice turn of events. It would also help showcase some of the guilt that his character might be feeling for previous actions.

#2. Possible love storyline between Murphy and Aalyah

Murphy got decimated by Seth Rollins on Monday Night RAW and while many thought that would be the end of it, something interesting happened. Aalyah Mysterio was seen on camera trying to comfort Murphy, which could be the beginning of a love storyline between the two.

This would be a great way to make the storyline a little more personal between Rollins and Mysterio. It would also turn Murphy into one of RAW's biggest babyfaces. It might even go a long way for the career of Aalyah, who could be dipping her toes in the WWE waters as well.

In the end, it is the next logical step in the storyline and gives Murphy a chance at redemption. Not to forget it also creates a cute little relationship angle for fans to enjoy. While some might see that as a bad idea, especially after the insane relationship between Lana and Bobby Lashley, WWE has done so much better in the past.

#1. Murphy wanting revenge on Seth Rollins

Murphy is very much a man with nothing left to lose after being disowned and destroyed by his Messiah, Seth Rollins. He could now be out for revenge. Furthermore, he has to be trying to find a way to redeem himself in the eyes of the WWE Universe.

If nothing else, the best way to do that would be to go right after Seth Rollins, which seems like the most likely option at this point. In fact, after being beaten around, yelled at and left in shambles last week on RAW, Murphy deserves to get his momentum back and exact some kind of revenge..

Interestingly enough, getting revenge on Rollins might mean Murphy has to join forces with the Mysterio family. It might even help result in the aforementioned relationship storyline between Murphy and Aalyah, which would be fun to watch play out.
