Exclusive: 7 Behind The Scenes Details On WWE's 'Boneyard Match' At WrestleMania 36

3. The Promo Work Was 100% Improvised

One of the best aspects of the 'Boneyard Match' was all that smack talk 'Taker and Styles shared throughout. Apparently, that wasn't in the initial script for the brawl. Instead, it was something that both guys felt was necessary when filming, and they implored Triple H to let them try some things out.

'The Game' was all ears.

He let his charges improvise to see what gold they could dig up. That's fascinating insight; Trips was happy to let The Undertaker yak away to AJ as he carried him around, for example, and it came out great on camera. The match might've felt a bit empty without that back-and-forth chatter.

It reeked of classic 'American Bad Ass'. Triple H eventually encouraged 'Taker and Styles to do as much talking as they felt they should. Nothing was off limits, and everyone agreed that the bickering and aggressive banter helped the scene feel much more engaging.
