The Undertaker’s cinematic Boneyard match with AJ Styles was widely considered to be the best match across both nights at WrestleMania 36.

Heading into the event, The Undertaker repeatedly said in promos on WWE RAW that Styles, Karl Anderson, and Luke Gallows would feel the wrath of The Unholy Trinity.

It was speculated that two people who are close to The Undertaker in real life, Michelle McCool (his wife) and Kane (his storyline brother), could even up the numbers against Styles and the rest of The O.C.

However, as The Undertaker explained in an interview with Nine Line Apparel, The Unholy Trinity actually referred to the three personas he played in the match: The Deadman, The American Badass, and himself.

“A lot of people have been curious, ‘What is The Unholy Trinity?’ Well, the Unholy Trinity that I referenced was The Deadman, The Badass, and then the man himself – obviously Mark Calaway – and put them all together, and that was kind of my brain was working that way. It was the unification of all these three entities into one person, so that’s where that came from.”

Unless The Undertaker reverses his retirement decision, the Boneyard match will go down as the final match of the legendary Superstar’s career.
