Backstage News On Murphy’s Status
WWE recently returned Rey and Dominik Mysterio to television. Conspicuous by their absence is Rey’s daughter and Dominik’s sister Aalyah, along with her on-screen boyfriend Murphy.
Murphy looked to be the one getting involved in the feud with King Corbin until it shifted toward the Mysterios in recent weeks, who themselves just returned from a COVID-19 related absence. So where has the former Disciple of Seth Rollins been?
Ringside News has reported Murphy is still attending SmackDown tapings, and he’s been backstage for weeks. The problem is that he hasn’t been used nor has anyone talked about creative plans for him. It’s unfortunately a similar situation to Bo Dallas, except Murphy’s absence came right in the middle of a hot angle he was involved in.
It’s pure speculation at this point, but perhaps the return of Seth Rollins at this past Sunday’s Royal Rumble could allow Murphy reason to return to television as the protagonist against Rollins, or even through some trickery a return to Rollins’ side. Either way, Murphy has been in limbo unfortunately as he’s one of WWE’s most underrated talents.
