Buddy Murphy Says Paul Heyman Sees Him as Potentially The Next Face Of Raw

Buddy Murphy says he’s been given high praise from Paul Heyman, who he says thinks he could potenmtially be the next face of Raw. Murphy spoke with Digital Spy about working with Heyman on Raw, where he’s become a big part of the show as a member of Seth Rollins’ stable and co-Raw Tag Team Champions with Rollins. Highlights are below:

On working with Heyman: “Working with Paul is awesome. Paul, during my NXT days where we originally met, gave me some nice words. 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. It’s been awesome to sit next to him and learn from him and just pick his brain on everything. It’s a great experience and I’m very lucky to be drafted there.”

On being a fan of Heyman’s growing up: “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.”
