However, the wrestling world is not happy with AEW using this famous gimmick match in their company.

The rules of the match were similar to a Buried Alive Match or a Casket/Coffin match that WWE introduced as trademark matches of The Undertaker. As AEW cannot copy the name, the concept of the match was similar to what fans saw for years.

Even though the match between Jungle Boy and Christian Cage was a good one, it didn’t create the crowd noise at Taker vs Mankind had. As per JBL, the initially Buried Alive match had terrified the fans back in the 90s.
