Matt Hardy may be gone (from WWE, I mean), but may the spirit of his creativity live on in others inside the company. It's been heavily reported that WrestleMania 36 will be filmed ahead of time and run on replay April 4th and 5th. With no live audience present and an uncertain future regarding government regulations, this is probably the best call the company could make if they want the event to run as scheduled.

With matches being recorded ahead of time, it provides WWE the unique opportunity to film content that could otherwise not be performed in front of a live audience. Not too dissimilar to Matt Hardy's famed Ultimate Deletion match.

One match that seems destined for special treatment is the phenomenal match up of AJ Styles vs. The Undertaker. On this week's RAW, Styles challenged the Deadman to a "Boneyard Match." I have no Earthly idea what that is, but color me intrigued. I wouldn't put it past WWE to film this match in an actual graveyard. The possibilities for this match are wide reaching.

Another match with endless possibilities is The Fiend vs. John Cena. Wyatt is one of the best in ring performers in the business. The emotion he portrays in a match is hard to equal. He's also one of the best creative minds in the company. Give him a blank canvass, the ability to add special effects and an rock solid revenge angle with John Cena and watch the magic unfold. Rumors are that this match will indeed be heavily produced.

Now I'm not saying that if these matches are huge successes that we'll see whole shows recorded again, but it very well may open the door for more special production matches in the future. Maybe even at WrestleMania 37.
