How insulting must it be for Matt Hardy that WWE did a match of this nature so soon after he quit the company for good? I mean this is a style that he pioneered with the matches in the Hardy Compound both in Impact Wrestling and in WWE. In any case, credit where it is due because WWE did a very commendable job with the Boneyard Match between AJ Styles and The Undertaker at WrestleMania.

Even though The Undertaker returned in his biker persona, he would show supernatural traits, especially when pyro exploded from out of nowhere during the match and also, when he appeared out of nowhere behind AJ Styles. If this is the future of professional wrestling, please sign me up.

Kudos to Gallows and Anderson who also played a prominent part in this match for adding an extra layer of drama to the overall proceedings that made it special. I can only imagine how good the contest between John Cena and The Fiend in the Firefly Fun House will be, ladies and gentlemen.
