Buddy Matthews is a “Paul Heyman Guy”.
Formerly known as Buddy Murphy–or just Murphy–during his eight-year run in WWE, his career reached new heights when he joined Raw in 2019. That is where his work caught Heyman’s attention, leading to the most compelling stories during his run in the company.
“I got momentum thanks to Paul Heyman,” said Matthews, whose real name is Matthew Adams. “I wanted to work for Heyman. He was someone who’d been in my ear saying, ‘I don’t know why you’re not on TV every week.’ He was very high on myself and Aleister [Black], and our program shot us up in the WWE.
