Undertaker Praises AJ Styles, Says He Is The Shawn Michaels Of His Generation For Pro Wrestling

The Undertaker loves what he sees in AJ Styles.

Before their Boneyard match, AJ Styles was battling the best wrestlers from all over the globe whether it came from Ring of Honor to TNA to New Japan Pro-Wrestling. Styles would go on to debut for the WWE in the Royal Rumble before spending the next couple of years showing everyone why he calls himself the ‘Phenomenal One’.

During a Patreon exclusive Q&A edition of his Six Feet Under Podcast, this is what the Undertaker had to say about his former rival, AJ Styles and who he is reminded of when he sees Styles in the ring.

“[AJ Styles] checks all the boxes,” began Undertaker. “I don’t know if there will ever be another Shawn Michaels. I put a disclaimer on it, but AJ Styles can work with anybody. He can make anybody look like a million bucks and still be able to you know — AJ is not a big guy, but has the ability to work with anybody and make it believable, make it solid.

“That doesn’t make AJ Shawn Michaels, but those are the two guys that have the generation’s [highest] work level. That’s my opinion, I’m sure somebody else will have a different opinion,” he continued. “That’s kind of the reason why the whole Boneyard match happened is because I didn’t get a chance to work with AJ and that lured me. I really do [hold him in such high regard] as a human being and as a performer.”

The Undertaker competed in his final match at WrestleMania against Styles in a Boneyard match where the Deadman buried Styles and the Good Brothers before riding off into the sunset once and for all.
