• The Undertaker Suffered A Legitimate Injury During Boneyard Match At WrestleMania 36, Match Took 8 Hours To Film
At Night 1 of WrestleMania 36, The Undertaker returned as “Big Evil” on a Motorcycle and defeated AJ Styles in a Boneyard Match to pick up his record 25th win at WrestleMania.
The Undertaker suffered a cut during the match on the hearse window and was bleeding. This was a legitimate injury, not fake, according to Whatculture.
Also, the back & forth trash talk between Taker and Styles was “100% improvised.”
AJ Styles’ glove coming out of the grave spot was pitched by The Deadman himself.
The Boneyard match was filmed in Florida and took 5 days to set up production. The entire match took 8 hours to film.
The hard work put into this by everyone in WWE paid off, as the fans (and even the WWE wrestlers) loved every minute of it!
