4. The Undertaker Vs. AJ Styles (WrestleMania 36: Night One)
The Undertaker is one of the most iconic characters in the world of wrestling. From his WWE debut in 1990, Undertaker continued to compete until 2020, a testament to his incredible longevity. He has been part of some of the most memorable matches and moments in WWE history. However, the Deadman was in a clear decline by the mid-2010s.
His in-ring performances had deteriorated due to age, and fans weren’t happy watching the Undertaker struggle. Thus, the Phenom decided to hang up his boots in 2020, but not before wrestling one final match against the Phenomenal One, AJ Styles, at WrestleMania 36.
The two entered into a deeply personal feud, and the stage was set for an epic clash on the Grandest Stage. However, due to the pandemic, plans had to change; the match would take place behind closed doors with no live audience.
Despite the limitations, WWE delivered, as the two competed in a Boneyard match, a cinematic spectacle filmed at a cemetery. Undertaker arrived on a motorcycle channeling his American Badass persona, and what followed was an action-movie-style brawl with druids, interference from The O.C., and Undertaker ultimately burying Styles alive, picking up the win.
The match is widely appreciated and served as the perfect farewell for Undertaker. Since then, Undertaker has stayed retired with no intentions of coming back.
