The card at WrestleMania 36 looks to be loaded and then some, with Brock Lesnar vs. Drew McIntyre as the featured attraction and other matches like Rhea Ripley vs. Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch vs. Shayna Baszler, very likely to be added to the card. John Cena is also almost certain to be involved in the event in some way.
And yet another rumor surfaced not very long ago, courtesy the fine folks at WrestleZone, who said that plans may be in place for The Undertaker to take on AJ Styles. This is certainly a huge development and if this match is indeed happening, there could be a variety of reasons why it is.

#5 Closest thing to The Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels
Many believe that the two matches between The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels at WrestleManias 25 and 26 are the two best WWE matches in the company's history.
Shawn Michaels is, of course, retired, although he makes the occasional appearance as a member of NXT management, in addition to the one match that he wrestled in Saudi Arabia as a member of D-Generation X. Many feel that the closest thing to Shawn Michaels as an in-ring performer in today's generation is The Phenomenal One.
Of course, The Undertaker is a lot older than he was when he had the classics with Michaels, but there's no reason why these two legends cannot make magic on their own, even if they do not necessarily recreate the past. Who should win such a match, dear reader?
#4 AJ Styles can bump and carry the match
Everyone remembers the debacle that was The Undertaker vs. Goldberg even though they would rather just forget it. The Undertaker was a great in-ring performer during his prime but he's clearly past it and added with injuries over the years, so if he's not in the ring with someone who can bump around for him, the match isn't necessarily going to be very good.
Goldberg redeemed himself through a program with Dolph Ziggler where Ziggler made the legend seem just as much of a powerhouse as Bill Goldberg supposedly is. AJ Styles can bump almost as well as Dolph Ziggler does and he is guaranteed to make every move of The Undertaker seem absolutely devastating and vicious.
In case you don't think that a match between Styles and The Undertaker will be good, just go back and watch AJ Styles take Kevin Nash on in TNA. Many believe that it is the best match that Kevin Nash has been in across the course of his wrestling career.

#3 Either outcome is great for business
One of the best things about this match is that it is impossible to predict the outcome of the said contest. Had the match been between The Undertaker and, let's say, Ricochet, for instance, we would have known that the latter had no chance of defeating the legend at a stage like WrestleMania 36.
And the same could be said for a match between say, AJ Styles and Triple H, which is enormous in its own right. Triple H is just too selfless an individual, ever since he's assumed the reins at NXT, to let a full-time member of the roster lose to him at a stage like WrestleMania.
But a match between The Undertaker and AJ Styles is just impossible to call, and the best part is, neither person winning is necessarily a bad call. If The Undertaker wins, AJ Styles will be slotted right back into the mix again and can go about business as usual.
And if The Undertaker does not win, he'll be putting over a man who can carry the torch for years.
#2 To spruce up the RAW side of things too for WrestleMania 36
As WrestleMania 36 approaches, all the pieces are falling in place for what should be a truly explosive show. The SmackDown side of things is especially loaded, now that we know that Goldberg and maybe even John Cena will be a part of the WrestleMania proceedings. I mean there's always the possibility that they won't be, but it will be very unlikely if such is the case based on all that is happening.
Even though RAW has Edge battling with Randy Orton heading into WrestleMania, it just does not feel nearly as stacked as SmackDown, to me, at least. And this is why having The Undertaker on RAW, taking on not another legend, but a full-time member of the roster, is a good thing. I'm sure that even Gallows and Anderson would love to be featured in a segment with the legendary Phenom.
Everybody wins in such a scenario, and even AJ Styles, who's not been as prominently featured in recent times as before, wins irrespective of the eventual outcome.
#1 To play the whole Phenom vs. Phenomenal angle
As lame as this reason may sound, matches have happened in WWE for reasons that were far lamer. I mean one of The Undertaker's most recent big feuds was based on whose yard it is anyway, with Roman Reigns.
Essentially Vince McMahon will need a sales pitch for WrestleMania and a match between The Phenom and The Phenomenal One has a fantastic ring to it and even lapsed fans can gravitate to it. It does not need any more explanation than this- one of the two men is an undead zombie while the other can do things in the ring that most people alive cannot.
But all said and done, who would have ever thought that AJ Styles, the heart and soul of TNA and one of the most promising Cruiserweights in WCW would be rubbing shoulders with The Undertaker someday? I certainly didn't.
How cool is it that such a match can potentially happen at a stage like WrestleMania 36, and what an honor it would be for me to review it for Sportskeeda!
