Early on in his retirement match against AJ Styles at WrestleMania 36, The Undertaker and his ‘Phenomenal’ opponent got right into a fight around a hearse. One spot specifically had ‘Taker swung at Styles in front of the passenger door window, shattering the glass and cutting himself. But, based on the veteran during an episode of his “Six Feet Under with The Undertaker” podcast, things didn’t go as seen on the segment.
“It was very real,” The Undertaker admitted. “We’re probably lower than 10 minutes…into it, after which we needed to shut down – we now have to shut down for an hour, as they’re picking glass outta my arm.”
Nevertheless, based on Michelle McCool, ‘Taker’s issue with the glass didn’t end here. “A 12 months goes by, like literally a 12 months. We’re home and he’s like: ‘Babe? I feel somethings like, I do not know, there’s something poking out my arm and it doesn’t look right,'” McCool claimed, noting what number of operations the veteran underwent through the years and the way she’s had to tug staples out of him before. She then recalled how, at WrestleMania 37, she asked a health care provider to finally take a look at him after he continued to fiddle along with his arm and complain about something moving within it. “He still had glass in his arm! A 12 months later, doc needed to cut out more glass from his arm.”
‘It was a pleasant little triangular shard of glass that little reminder of the 12 months prior’
A clip then went up, showing a health care provider operating on The Undertaker’s arm in addition to an image of the veteran holding the tiny glass splinter with a pair of tweezers.
“It was a pleasant little triangular shard of glass that little reminder of the 12 months prior,” ‘Taker jokingly added before AJ Styles clarified that the glass spot wasn’t his idea in the primary place. “I had a metal bar in my hand, and I feel I used to be somewhat amped up once I swung,” the veteran noted after Styles’ apology, adding that he’s glad that Michelle McCool wasn’t there the day they filmed the Boneyard match. “It will’ve been a thunder shot.”
Styles then identified that ‘Taker wasn’t amped up due to the adrenaline, but amped up because he desired to do it in a single take. “Man! You punched through it after which some! Like, it was gonna break the primary time,” he expressed. Styles interestingly noted that it was safety glass. Nevertheless, based on the ‘Deadman,’ this wasn’t the case in any respect.
“That wasn’t safety glass!” he exclaimed. “This was the actual glass they put within the hearse after they built it.”
