Night one of WrestleMania 36 aired on the WWE Network on Saturday night, and the event was capped off with the first ever Boneyard Match.
The match saw The Undertaker defeat AJ Styles in a cinematic match that took place in a graveyard setting, and the response to the match seems to be mostly positive.
Matt Hardy is certainly no stranger to cinematic matches, as he’s been pushing the idea with the Broken Universe for a few years now.
Hardy reacted to the match when he posted the following on Twitter:
“My twitter feed exploded.
Thanks for all the love, folks.. I’m truly honored. Cinematic matches 100% work with the right characters, scenario & fanbase – I envisioned them as a new branch of pro wrestling years ago.
Much like TLC did, The #BROKEN Universe will leave its mark.”
