Buddy’s AEW run has really just exposed to me that he’s pretty mediocre, and people were overrating him when he was the main event of Main Event.AEW should press forward with Julia managing Brody. Not even close. People rate him for his work as cruiserweight champion. Dude would consistently put on banger matches as champ. Yes, they'd be on the PPV pre-show, but there is no over rating going on there.

I think in Buddy's case, it might be the result of booking that's the source of his unhappiness. Though without Malakai, what kind of threat does the House of Black exactly possess in storyline? He was booked best in 205 Live under Triple H. Also his GF is in WWE as well.

Meh, not that I hate the guy or anything, but it'll be hard to care one way or the other if he stays or goes.

wont miss him personally and heading to Florida, CT means he'll be off PWG shows so win win for me and only me which honestly is great, for me.

Murphy got a lot of the following that he did in WWE (it’s hard to say he was ever over at most points, but there were definitely people wanting more for him) because he was having the kinds of matches on 205 Live that nobody else who was main roster-adjacent was really having at the time. In AEW, 90% of your roster is at that level, and many are out-and-out better or have bigger personalities as well. Dude had a ceiling.
If he wants to chance it elsewhere, more power to him.

Time to strap the rocket to Brody King at this point. Even before Malakai left he was standing out as the MVP of the trio, he has a unique look, can put on bangers and comes across as a threat to everyone on the roster. Plus, he has the added advantage of not having WWE baggage, which in the current climate can only be a good thing. It's time for Brody King to get Butcher and Blade as his new henchman Butcher especially

Murphy was never a great fit for AEW; extremely talented guy who wasn't being brought in to capitalize on that talent, and House of Black just kind of wasn't a great fit once you got past the 'he and Malakai have a past' part. He could have stood out in TNA, could have gone to New Japan, and stood out a lot more in either place. Really amazing worker who endedu p the fourth most interesting part of a faction because it did nothing to really play to his strengths. Pretty much this. Great talent but when he was released I was flat out saying he's a guy that needs to do New Japan Strong, Impact, or MLW. If you aren't happy, you aren't happy not gonna fault a guy for that. But this always seemed like not a good fit. Hopefully all is good with Buddy though

I really didn’t know why they signed him, outside of being a minion to Black. There’s nothing he can do that two other dozen guys can’t do better. The only time I ever marked for the guy was during his Romeo and Juliet angle with daughter Mysterio… “I LOVE HIM” one if my favorite moments of that year.

This is just me, but I think it's okay to take time off for whatever reasons the talent may have for doing so without "He's going to WWE" or "He was never that good anyway".

The guy's a good talent, but he never really stood out in AEW. Didn't help that he was the third guy in a spooky faction with the decidedly un-spooky name of "Buddy Matthews."
If he wants to go back to WWE and be with Rhea more often, good on him. Probably would've stood out more in Japan, too.

He is really tied to Black so it doesn't surprise me. At least in WWE he has other people he can work with that he is somewhat tied to or close with so it makes sense he may want to try and return. Hell put him in Judgment Day Poor Rey. Bad enough his son got roped into Judgment Day but now his daughter will too

Buddy's pretty much one of those guys who is very talented but completely uninteresting.

Need some humor in the thread The era where dudes kept leaving WWE and filming "I'm out of jail" promotional videos to hype their drop into the indies was such a weird time while also making the absolutest sense given everything any of them would say about working under Vince.

If he made about AEW than that is on AEW since they barely booked him in matches. So many possible good matches at the finger tips and he just sat there for months.

To each their own but honestly I can't say I would miss the guy if he left AEW as I imo never saw anything special with Murphy. I get why he want to go back to WWE with his girlfriend being there and wasn't he a Triple H guy too?
