• Real Reason Behind WWE Calling The Undertaker vs. AJ Styles WrestleMania 36 Gimmick Match A “Boneyard Match”

WWE recently announced that The Undertaker vs. AJ Styles will be a Boneyard Match at WrestleMania 36.

Styles talked about this gimmick match on Mixer and the reason WWE chose this name.

Below is what Styles said:

“What the heck is a Boneyard match? Even I was wondering what a Boneyard match is.

Under the circumstances, I think there’s a reason it’s called a Boneyard match. We didn’t want to say cemetery, graveyard. Let’s tread delicately on this. Everything that’s going on, it sucks.

It’s a combination of things you thought it was, most likely. It’s going to be different. I don’t want to give anything away.

I want you guys to enjoy this. Because of the circumstances, I’m so glad that my opponent is The Undertaker, because it’s an opportunity to have a different match. I don’t want to have it in an empty arena.

You guys are the life blood of what we do. We react to you. It’s all about you. I wouldn’t be anything without you, but we know how to react based on how you react. All this stuff matters. I feel for the guys who have had to have those matches.”
