WWE to re-air Undertaker-Styles Boneyard Match on SmackDown

As part of a “Tribute To The Undertaker,” WWE will air Undertaker and AJ Styles’ Boneyard Match from WrestleMania 36 on this week’s episode of SmackDown.

“With the WWE Universe still buzzing over the final chapter of WWE Network’s groundbreaking documentary Undertaker: The Last Ride, SmackDown will feature a special ‘Tribute To The Undertaker’ this Friday night,” WWE announced tonight.

“As part of the special recognition, the astonishing Boneyard Match between The Deadman and AJ Styles will air on television for the first time. As Superstars, legends, celebrities and fans have expressed their support for the sports-entertainment icon, the blue brand now gets to share the same message: Thank you, Taker.

“Join SmackDown in honoring The Undertaker and much more in another action-packed Friday night on FOX at 8/7 C”

The finale of the WWE Network’s Undertaker: The Last Ride series aired on Sunday. When talking about his future on the episode, The Undertaker said he has “no desire” to return to the ring. If Undertaker doesn’t return, the Boneyard Match will have been his final match.

Styles defending his Intercontinental title against Drew Gulak, Sheamus presenting “a toast to Jeff Hardy,” and Universal Champion Braun Strowman responding to Bray Wyatt have been announced for tomorrow’s SmackDown but aren’t currently being advertised on WWE.com. They aren’t listed on the preview for the show and the articles about them currently are no longer accessible.

This week’s SmackDown has been set to be taped at the WWE Performance Center tomorrow. In his report yesterday about multiple people in WWE testing positive for COVID-19, Dave Meltzer wrote that the Friday and Saturday tapings for two weeks of Raw and SmackDown were still scheduled as of then.
