AJ Styles put over The Undertaker in what would end up being The Deadman’s final match. The pair would wrestle in the main event of the first night of WrestleMania 36, and The Undertaker would turn back the clock appearing in his American Badass gimmick and ride in on a motorcycle while Metallica’s Now That We’re Dead played.
The Boneyard match was filmed cinematically and was more like an extended action movie fight scene than a traditional wrestling match. Doing it this way greatly aided The Undertaker’s performance as several of his later career matches had fallen flat.
Now, in an interview with the Out of Character podcast, Styles has shared with fans that he reached out to The Undertaker’s wife Michelle McCool following the match. He did this because he wanted to send The Undertaker a gift, and he would end receiving one in return along with a thank you letter.
I called his wife, and I was like, “Hey, what does he want?” Because I need to get him something. She was just like, “Hey, well, give him your gloves. That would mean a lot to him if you signed a glove.” I was like, “Alright.” Michelle hooked me up. Hopefully, that was a gift that he enjoyed. He actually sent his gloves to me with a very nice thank you letter, which meant the world to me.
AJ StylesThe Undertaker is and will forever be one of the most respected wrestlers in history, both in front and behind the curtain, so Styles will likely value the letter he received forever. At the time of WrestleMania 36, it wasn’t known that it would be The Undertaker’s final match. Still, given it’s highly doubtful The Undertaker could top the match, especially with time against him, it made sense for him to end his legendary career with fans speaking positively about his final hurrah.
