Hard rock legends Metallica have history with WWE and WrestleMania. It wasn't so long ago that the iconic sound of "For Whom The Bell Tolls" accompanied Triple H on his entrance to the ring at Mania XXVII. And now the man that faced him that night has returned with his own use of LA's thrash royalty.

Ahead of his bonkers and brilliant Boneyard match with AJ Styles, 'Taker used "Now That We're Dead" - from tenth studio album Hardwired... to Self-Destruct - as his entrance (and exit) theme.

The band tweeted their reaction after the match:

As revealed in our exclusive behind-the-scenes report on the Boneyard match - which you can read here - the entrance was initially planned to be somewhat different, but the same song was always on the cards.

And speaking of The Undertaker, WWE has a new documentary special headlined Undertaker: The Last Ride in the pipeline. It will air as a limited series event on the WWE Network soon and we're promised a full trailer for it after the second night of Mania 36 goes off air.

Naturally, because we can't have a trailer without a trailer for the trailer, last night saw the arrival of a teaser promo promoting the sneak peak we'll see after Night Two's end along with a synopsis of sorts:
