AJ Styles regrets timing of WrestleMania 36 match with The Undertaker

AJ Styles has expressed regret regarding the timing of his cinematic Boneyard Match against The Undertaker at WWE WrestleMania 36. In a recent interview with Sporf, Styles reflected on the unique circumstances of the encounter, which was filmed in a cemetery-like setting due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the lack of a live audience.

While Styles praised the production of the match, he stated that he wished the two had been able to compete in a traditional match earlier in their respective careers. He noted that their timing together was a ‘recipe for a great match’ but lamented that it had to be conducted in a cinematic format. The Undertaker won the bout, which served as his final in-ring match.
