Without a doubt, one superstar who had defined sports entertainment for years is The Undertaker. The Deadman is a WWE legend who had carried the company on his back for ages with his remarkable performances and matches. Therefore, when the time came for him to hang up his boots for good, WWE didn’t hold back from giving him the perfect sendoff. In 2020, WWE presented a match of its own kind called the ‘Boneyard Match’ between AJ Styles and The Phenom.

Recently, the WWE Hall of Famer reflected on that cinematic match, which also went on to be referred to as the “Last Ride” of the Deadman. On his Six Feet Under podcast, The Undertaker stated that he always wanted to have a wrestling match with AJ Styles, similar to that he had with Shawn Michaels. However, it would not have been possible at the time of the pandemic, given the condition of Undertaker’s body.

Deep down I always thought AJ was the Shawn Michaels of this generation. I wanted to have that kind of match that I had with Shawn with AJ in a ring, but I don't think it would have been as poetic as what we were able to do.

At the end of the show, the match was not only named the match of the night but is regarded as one of the greatest matches in WWE history.

He was from San Antonio, I'm from Houston, we're in Texas. Everything lined up perfectly for that match and that night and it'll still probably be my proudest moment.
