Hometown Hero Buddy Murphy challenged Cedric Alexander for the Cruiserweight title at Super Show-Down. In what was perhaps the biggest win in Murphy’s career, he overcame Cedric’s impressive offence and came out on top, and won the Cruiserweight title in what was an intense match, to say the least.
Murphy fired on all cylinders at the beginning of the match, hitting a dive to the outside and a double knee from the top turnbuckle.

Alexander came back with some offence and had a few close calls as well. But he couldn’t put a stop to Murphy.
