The Undertaker did an interview with ESPN where he spoke about a wide range of topics including the future of WWE doing cinematic type matches.
This comes after the highly praised Boneyard Match with Taker beating AJ Styles and Bray Wyatt defeated John Cena in a Firefly Fun House Match at WrestleMania 36.
“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.”
Taker continued by bringing up how he’s always been a big believer in the story mattering more than moves during pro wrestling matches. He thinks that moves don’t tell the story. He brought up how the promos done by Styles leading up to WrestleMania were places that no one had dared to go before.
He thinks even if they had a regular match, the brawling style of it would’ve been the same as their Boneyard match due to the promos done by Styles.
“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.”
Taker added that as far as him doing another match like this, he’ll see what happens but at the end of the day, he was happy with how the Boneyard Match came out.
