Murphy came out of nowhere, blew everyone away, went from not being on nxt for over a year to dominating the entire cw division, and got the biggest pop by far in Australia.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Another fan noted, &#8220;This is so true. Showstealing matches consistently. One of the most impressive career boosts i have seen in recent memory.
