Ranking The Undertaker’s 27 WWE WrestleMania Matches From Worst To Best

12. Vs. AJ Styles - WrestleMania 36

Here we are at the latest contest of 'The Deadman's illustrious career, which is easily the most unorthodox of them all - and considering we're talking about a guy who's risen from the dead more times than Dracula himself, that's really saying something.

The Boneyard Match between AJ Styles and The Undertaker was basically a Buried Alive match in a cemetery, but it was the overall presentation of this one that set it apart from anything else we've ever seen at WrestleMania. Shot like an amateur horror movie (with its very own score) that leaned heavy on theatrics, it was ridiculously campy from start to finish but strangely enough it worked, livening up a match that wouldn't have felt right in an arena with no audience.

The return of Biker 'Taker added some nice drama to it, and the hokey cinematic sh*t they pulled throughout ensured that we didn't just get 30 minutes of back-and-forth slugging .

It's fair to say that theatrics like this aren't for everybody, but given everything that was happening in the world at the time, WWE did a bang-up job here, delivering something that, unlike the rest of the show, benefited from the lack of a crowd. And it played to The Undertaker's strengths, allowing him to deliver his best WrestleMania performance (and singles match) in at least half a decade.

A return to form for 'The Phenom' and a bloody brilliant one at that!
