Murphy needs to capitalize on his current momentum
Murphy’s performance was not necessarily bad on SmackDown this week. However, the same can’t be said about the way he was booked for his match on the Blue brand tonight. Once again, we saw him lock horns with Baron Corbin only this time; it was the ‘King’ who managed to pick a clean victory.

As promised, King Corbin brought back-up with him and manipulated Murphy into losing his focus during his SmackDown match. Both the men who accompanied Corbin went and attacked Rey and Dominik Mysterio. As a result, a distracted Murphy went out to save his girlfriend’s family. Once he stepped back inside the ring, Corbin greeted him with a swift End of Days and pinned his opponent in the center of the ring.
Only last week, it appeared that Murphy got his strength from the Mysterio family. However, this week they ended up making him look weak. Even if WWE are planning a huge angle involving Murphy and Dominik Mysterio in the coming months, they can’t do that by booking Murphy in a weaker just when he has started gaining momentum on SmackDown.
