Paul Heyman currently serves as
RAW's Executive Producer and we've been hearing a lot about the Superstars he's keen to push as the future of the Monday night show. Now, though, Buddy Murphy has told Digital Spy what it's been like working alongside someone it appears may have played a significant role in his decision to become a wrestler!
"Working with Paul is awesome. Paul, during my NXT days where we originally met, gave me some nice words," the RAW Tag Team Champion explains. "Then I was drafted to 205 Live then to SmackDown and I kind of found myself a little bit lost on SmackDown with no real direction and Paul decided I would be a good fit for his brand, the next face of Raw."
That's high praise indeed and Murphy went on to talk about being a fan of ECW as a child and what it's been like getting to work with Heyman and how that's benefited him on the main roster.
"It’s been awesome to sit next to him and learn from him and just pick his brain on everything," Murphy continued. "It’s a great experience and I’m very lucky to be drafted there. He was a big part of my childhood. I watched and admired everyone that I saw on the television. So to be working side by side with him is awesome."
It's clear that exciting things are on the horizon for Murphy and him being RAW Tag Team Champion is likely just the start of that. Do you think he has what it takes to be the face of RAW one day?
