After making weight and returning to Cruiserweight action, Buddy Murphy makes a clear statement by dominating his opponent, but he is confronted by WWE Cruiserweight Champion Cedric Alexander and brawls with the titleholder after the match.

After failing to make weight and missing out on a championship opportunity against Cedric Alexander at the Greatest Royal Rumble event, NXT Superstar Buddy Murphy once again made the weight required to compete on WWE 205 Live and returned to action with his sights still locked on the WWE Cruiserweight Title.

Making his return against a local competitor, Murphy immediately channeled his anger at his opponent’s expense. Relentlessly attacking his opponent, the Australian Superstar made a clear statement, forcing the official to call the match in Murphy’s favor when his opponent was unable to continue.

After the bout, WWE Cruiserweight Champion Cedric Alexander charged out and brawled with Murphy on the ramp, forcing the NXT Superstar to retreat. In a follow-up interview backstage, Cedric said Murphy knows where to find him.
