AJ Styles adds fuel to the fire by mentioning The Undertaker's biker persona

This past Monday on WWE RAW, AJ Styles sent a message to The Undertaker and made it too personal by bringing up his wife Michelle McCool.

Tonight on WWE Backstage, Styles hyped up his feud with The Deadman some more, and had some interesting things to say that's bound to raise the fans' hopes up.

Following Styles' promo on RAW, there were many who speculated that The Undertaker could bring back his biker persona. Styles breaking the fourth wall had led to this speculation. Tonight, Styles brought up The Undertaker's American Badass persona.

The biker character is as close to an actual human being as The Deadman has ever portrayed himself on TV.

Who am I talking to? Mark Calaway? The American Badass - aka Limp Bizkit's favorite wrestler.

The Undertaker first confronted Styles at WWE Super ShowDown, and defeated him to win the Tuwaiq Trophy. At the Elimination Chamber PPV, Aleister Black defeated Styles in a No DQ match after interference from The Undertaker.

The Undertaker donned The American Badass gimmick back in the early 2000s. He came out for his match against Big Show and A-Trian at WrestleMania 19, with his friend Limp Bizkit performing his entrance theme.

Although Styles' words might end up not meaning anything, fans of The Undertaker's biker persona would want nothing but for The Deadman to bring it back one last time at WrestleMania 36.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
