The last match that ‘The Deadman’ appeared in was against AJ Styles at WrestleMania 36. They wrestled in a cinematic match called the Boneyard Match. Since this was during COVID-19, audiences across the globe tuned in to be a part of the experience.

The battle showed the world that ‘The Deadman’ doesn’t shy away from anybody. Even though he has aged, his determination to show up and fight was just the same as before.

Overall, it was WWE’s way of providing a WrestleMania worthy match to the audience during a global pandemic.

The Undertaker shared his view of The Boneyard Match.

“The Boneyard was so cool in the fact that you got a little bit of everything. You got a little bit of the original Undertaker, you got a little bit of the American Badass, and you got a lot of Mark Calaway in that. Like I said, it’s apples and oranges and whether you’re a traditionalist and there’s a lot of people who say you should always lose your last match. You’re not going to make everybody happy. I knew after the Boneyard that it was time to call it a day. I don’t know. It’s all up for interpretation which way you think is better. I don’t have a clear-cut thought of the way I should have done it. It just happened this way and we are where we are.”

The build up to the match started when ‘The Phenom’ took down ‘The Phenomenal One’ to win the Tuwaiq Trophy Gauntlet match. This was the second last time he appeared in a match inside the ring.

These constant interferences from Taker caused Styles to retaliate. Styles caused disturbance during Taker’s promos and took personal shots by bringing up Michelle McCool (Taker’s wife).

These actions from both Superstars convinced the WWE Universe that they were going to clash at WrestleMania 36.
