The Undertaker spoke about his match with AJ Styles at Wrestlemania 36 in an interview with ESPN. This is where he talked about how loved the match and whether he’ll do more cinematic type matches. Here is what he had to say:
“I think it could, if I wanted to do that. That possibility is there, but we’ll just see on that.
“We were both very proud of that match. Considering all the circumstances, we were really, really happy with it. And the fact that we got to go offsite and give it a theme like that, it helped tremendously. Like I’ve said, for me, it’s always, always about the story. I tell this to people all the time: Wrestling isn’t about the moves. It’s about telling the story. You use wrestling moves to tell that story, but that’s not what it’s all about. He went places in his promos leading up to WrestleMania that no one has ever dared go, you know? After all those interviews, even if we had had a regular match … you talk about my wife, and it would have been all fists anyway.
“I’m not trying to armdrag and armbar and do all that stuff. I’m going to punch you in the face until your nose meets the back of your head. Because that’s real, you know what I mean? Because of the intensity of his promos, and then going to [the boneyard], I think we really told a great story. At the end of the day, that’s the most important part.
“The way it was shot, I mean my goodness, it was a mini-movie. I just really think it’s going to catch on. Bray Wyatt’s character is probably the closest to mine. He’s got that really over-the-top demented type character. He could do some things in that realm that would be just phenomenal. We were the trendsetters there. I think there will be more cinematic matches like that in the future.
“As for me … we’ll see what happens with me. But I was really happy how that came off.”
