4. AJ Styles Says Shooting The Boneyard Match Took All Night
While speaking to Sports Illustrated, WWE Intercontinental Champion AJ Styles shared some behind the scenes details from his Boneyard match with The Undertaker at WrestleMania earlier this year.
Below is what he said:
“And I don’t know if everyone knows how long it actually took. We started around eight o’clock, and we didn’t get finished ‘til about 4:30 in the morning.
It was basically a movie, so we needed to get cameras in the right spot and walk through some stuff that was going to happen. I have a lot more respect for actors after working on those fight scenes.
He noted that he didn’t know how to prepare for the match, but it all worked out in the end. He also said that he didn’t know that the shooting of the match would take all night.
It was difficult to stay up that late, but we pumped each other before the fight scenes. Undertaker and myself, we did our fight scenes in one take. That’s all it took. But at one point, Undertaker had his scene with the minions, so we were waiting for our spot to come up. The waiting, that part was long, but it was still good. The way it all turned out was unbelievable.”
