-- After being buried in his Boneyard match against the Undertaker at WrestleMania 36, nothing has been heard of or seen from AJ Styles. The last image we saw of him was what appeared to be his hand sticking out from the grave. Have no fear, Styles is still alive and he posted on Instagram today announcing his survival while also promoting his Mixer channel (highlights below the image):
-- Here's a recap of what he said:
On the Boneyard Match:
“The match was different no doubt about it, I told you it was going to be. You never know what you're going to get sometimes. I was very pleased with it. The majority of wrestling fans was happy with it. For every one hundred, there's maybe two or three that didn't like it. It was a great match, I really enjoyed it. I hope we’re maybe able to do it again. I don’t know but it’d be nice. Being in a ring with thousands of people watching around you, that would be something. And I hope, I hope that once this whole thing’s over, let’s just say there is a chance that SummerSlam just, August I believe, we’re able to get out and do what we want. This thing’s pretty much cleared up for the most part, we’re able to get out and I hope we do a baseball stadium. To show you guys, ‘Hey, let’s freakin’ rock this thing, let’s make it our WrestleMania. You know what I mean? So that’s my hope and I’d love to do that for you guys. There's guys that I haven't been in the ring with and there's still a chance. Edge is still out there, this could happen."
On future cinematic matches of this nature:
“I think as far as cinematic matches go, I think less is more. If we do these all the time, then they’re not special. So we’ve gotta watch out with how many matches we do. It’s...I think every now and again, it’s a good thing. I do. As great as it was, I don’t think it’s something we should do a lot, because we’ll ruin it. I’m not saying the matches, but it’s special. You know?”
