Buddy Murphy Comments on Cruiserweight Championship Victory at WWE Super Show-Down

Buddy Murphy reflected on Instagram about winning the Cruiserweight Championship at last weekend’s WWE Super Show-Down event. As a result, Murphy became the first Australian wrestler to win a singles championship in WWE history.

A long, long road! When I was on the verge of closing a chapter, I seeked out the light! Taking 1 opportunity, creating a second… to 70,000 people standing up, cheering for a guy as he lived out his dream!
To all those people who said I would be back in Australia after 3 months of leaving for the USA… who’s laughing now!
It doesn’t end here! #205live will be seen by the world! And people will realize where the Best of the Best are located on a Wednesday night!
