Murphy recently was on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, where he spoke about a pitch made to align himself with Reigns and Usos, saying: (h/t Wrestling Edge)
“I had this really cool story idea that I pitched to Heyman, who loved it. I even mentioned it to The Usos, who loved it. It was basically to get me as like a – not a part of the Bloodline, but to be an associate of Paul (Heyman). I don’t take orders from Roman (Reigns) but I do his bidding because Heyman asked me (to do so). It was like a sub story on the side of Heyman.”
“Heyman loved it, and I ended up having a conversation with Hunter (Triple H) while he was at a SmackDown taping and just mentioned to him that I pitched this idea to Heyman, (Triple H) loved it. We’ll see where that goes and I understand it needs to go through a particular ranking, get it approved by Vince.”
Murphy was instead moved to the storyline with Seth Rollins and Rey Mysterio. He turned face after aligning with the Mysterio family. The storyline was a good push for Murphy, but then he slowly faded away, leading to his release.
