Here's How WWE Created The Undertaker's Boneyard Match

The Boneyard Match between The Undertaker and AJ Styles was one of the undisputed highlights of WrestleMania 36 this past weekend. Unlike the rest of the card (minus the Firefly Fun House Match), the show took place away from the WWE Performance Center on a closed set, and information about match's production has slowly started to make its way online. The production team that helped put the match together included Triple H, Michael Hayes and Jeremy Borash, the latter of whom played a big role in filming "Broken" Matt Hardy's Hardy Compound matches in both WWE and Impact Wrestling.

Photos from the shoot have made their way online as well. According to WhatCulture, the match took eight hours to film from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. at an undisclosd location in Florda and it took a production company five days to build the set.

The dialogue between Styles and Undertaker was reportedly completely ad-libbed, and it was Undertaker's idea to have Styles close out the match by popping his hand out of the grave after he had been buried.

There were also plans to use an abandoned ditch, a bridge and a roadside as part of the match, but WWE apparently couldn't secure a city permit in time.

Here are the full results from both nights of WrestleMania 36:
