We have a brand new WWE Cruiserweight Champion, after hometown hero Buddy Murphy defeated the undefeated Cedric Alexander to cap off a fantastic match at WWE Super Show-Down in Melbourne, Australia.
Murphy won the title in front of more than 70,000 screaming Australian fans, after kicking out of several of Alexander’s signature maneuvers, including the Lumbar Check that won him the title and has aided in several successful defenses during his five-month reign.
Check out photos and videos from the Melbourne title match below.
