Last week, AJ Styles didn’t so much pull the curtain back on The Undertaker as tear it away and light it on fire as part of his attempt to destroy the mystique of the legendary Superstar. He found out on Raw, however, that The Deadman might not be the old, broken-down husband Styles painted him as.
True, The Phenom arrived to their planned contract signing without almost any of his usual trappings, arriving shirtless and in a bandana rather than his typical hat and duster. But he still employed some of his signature tricks to brutalize Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson when Styles sent them to deliver the contract. That Styles didn’t do the deed himself after yet another round of insults to Undertaker’s family speaks volumes about how he really feels about this “old man.” What happened to The O.C. proves he might be right to keep his distance.
