On the first night of WrestleMania 36, The Undertaker met AJ Styles in a Boneyard match. The two in-ring veterans kicked off the rivalry back at WWE Super ShowDown and Styles went on to make the feud personal by mentioning The Deadman's wife Michelle McCool on various occasions.

The Phenom had the last laugh tonight, as he kicked Styles into a hole with a Big Boot, and followed it up by covering the hole with dirt. The Undertaker put on his bandana after the victory and got on his motorcycle. The unique cinematic presentation was heavily praised on social media. One former WWE Superstar had some interesting words on the outcome of the match though.
James Ellsworth posted a tweet, reacting to Styles' loss, and said that he literally got buried. Ellsworth added that the loss was nowhere like "losing to him" buried. Check out the tweet below:
Fans of Ellsworth might remember that he was a mainstay on SmackDown back in 2016-17. In a feud involving Dean Ambrose and Styles, Ellsworth defeated The Phenomenal One on three separate occasions, with Ambrose acting as a referee in one of the contests.
Ellsworth later turned heel on Ambrose and helped Styles win a TLC match for the WWE title at the namesake PPV.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
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.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
