Breaking kayfabe: 5 times WWE Superstars' real names were revealed on TV

#2 AJ Styles (Allen Jones) – WWE WrestleMania 36 storyline

AJ Styles did not just insult the man behind The Undertaker gimmick, Mark Calaway, ahead of their WrestleMania 36 match. He also accused Calaway’s wife, former WWE Superstar Michelle McCool, of refusing to let him retire.

After Styles referred to The Undertaker as Mark Calaway on WWE RAW, The Deadman took a similar approach in another promo before WrestleMania:

“AJ Styles… or should I say… Allen Jones. I mean, since we’re being real now. For such a small man you’ve got a real big mouth. I don’t know if you have a really big set or you’re just really that stupid.”

WWE commentators and fans can usually be heard during regular WWE matches, but the Boneyard match presentation had a very different feel. Both The Undertaker and Styles spoke to each other throughout the match, and their ongoing war of words could be heard from start to finish.

Just like the pre-WrestleMania promo, The Undertaker also called his opponent Allen Jones during their physical match inside the Boneyard.
