The Undertaker Vs AJ Styles finally clashed in a Boneyard match at WrestleMania 36. It was a modern spin on the classic ‘Buried Alive‘ bout – a stipulation The Deadman is very familiar with.
Fitting in the theme of WrestleMania 36, this was a very strange encounter. In fact, it was like something out of a video game.
The boneyard match didn’t take place inside the WWE Performance Center and instead was staged in a foggy graveyard. WWE has tried its hand at these type of cinematic outdoor matches in recent years after the Hardy Boyz found great success with The Final Deletion, but never quite nailed the execution. The boneyard match, though, was a masterpiece.
