AJ Styles wanted The Undertaker of yesteryear for their WrestleMania match and he got it.
Except, Styles didn’t get The Deadman version of The Undertaker. After Styles arrived at a graveyard for their Boneyard Match at WrestleMania 36, Undertaker rode in riding in a motorcycle dressed in attire similar to his American Badass character from more than 10 years ago.
The match had a little bit of everything from Undertaker cutting up his arm after smashing a car window, Styles throwing dirt to The Undertaker’s face and interference from Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson. Both men took a lot of punishment throughout the match from Undertaker getting with a shovel and Styles being chokeslammed from at least several feet above ground.
Ultimately, it was The Undertaker who emerged victorious, dropping Styles into a big hole and burying him.
