5 Horrifying 'crimes' WWE Superstars committed in 2020

#2 The Undertaker buries AJ Styles alive at WrestleMania 36

The Undertaker made his return to WWE at Super ShowDown 2020 and defeated AJ Styles to win the Tuwaiq Trophy. The Undertaker thus kicked off a feud with AJ Styles on the Road to WrestleMania, with the latter making it personal by bringing up Michelle McCool. At WWE WrestleMania 36, the duo engaged in a Boneyard match, with The Undertaker bringing back his biker gimmick for the same. AJ Styles rose up from inside a coffin, to kick off the match, while The Deadman arrived in his bike.

This was the first Boneyard match in WWE history

AJ Styles did everything he could to defeat The Undertaker, with Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson coming out to his help. The Undertaker put the duo down and shifted his attention to Styles. Styles threw The Undertaker down in a pit, but The Phenom appeared behind him as he was about to drop dirt in the pit. The Undertaker later dropped Styles in the pit and filled it with dirt, literally burying him alive. Styles' hand was the only thing that managed to come up, while his remaining body was buried under the ground.

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.
