How was the Boneyard Match according to the Former WWE Tag Team Champions?

Former WWE Raw Tag Team Champions, The Good Brother (Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson) recently shared how The Phenom was determined to wrestle. In 2020, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson were a part of ‘The OC’ stable along with AJ Styles.

Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson were invited to SiriusXM’s Busted Open show and shared how everyone wished for the Boneyard Match in front of a live audience.

“I remember at the time; I remember us saying, because AJ was our best buddy, like, it’s hard not to be in a stadium with a match like that. They wanted that. They deserved 80,000 people, and they didn’t have it. So everyone made the best of a rotten situation, and the match was cool as sh*t,” Luke Gallows said. (h/t Wrestling Inc)

Even though the WWE had to stop filming the Boneyard Match to attend Undertaker’s wound, he did not give up.

Gallows continued, “He [The Undertaker] punches the window out of the hearse, right? And his arm is bleeding profusely. You can see tendons. A lot of people, Karl, would have quit. I mean, every fifteen minutes, we would stop, ice, towel, hold it on to get the bleeding to stop. Alright, let’s start going.”
