THE UNDERTAKER sent AJ Styles straight to hell as he claimed a crazy WrestleMania victory in what could be his final ever match at the Showcase of the Immortals.

But it was unlike anything the WWE Universe had ever seen before as the Dead Man prevailed in scenes that would be more akin to a horror movie.

The main event of Mania night one took us to the BoneYard and began in a cemetery with no announcers to call the action.

Undertaker’s music hit and a hearse rolled through the gates as two hooded figures pulled out a coffin from the back - and out pops Styles.

All of a sudden the roar of a motorbike was heard in the distance, and as it continued to grow louder, the American Badass was soon on the scene.

The trash-talking began as the brawl got underway - complete with an eerie soundtrack playing in the background.

Taker pummelled AJ on top of the hearse but he was soon bleeding as the veteran sent his fist through the window after missing the Phenomenal One.

Undeterred, Taker, 55, threw his foe into an already dug grave, but as he went to grab a shovel, AJ’s OC colleagues Anderson and Gallows showed up to rescue him.

The lights in a shed behind them soon lit up as a crew of hooded figures circled the Phenom, but the outnumbered icon replied with “If we’re gonna do this, let’s do this” before battering his way through them all.

Taker then attacked Anderson and Gallows, but as he grabbed a shovel for a weapon, Styles smashed him in the back and sent him through a wooden structure to leave the Dead Man gasping for breath.

The taunts then began, but Undertaker returned it with a one-finger salute, earning a shot with the spade in the back of the head as he fell into the grave.

Styles mounted a digger to bury the Dead Man, but before he could embark on that task, a light came up behind him as Taker appeared and began a fresh assault.

AJ tried to scramble to safety by climbing up onto a roof as Taker followed with choral music in the background, punching all three OC members and delivering tombstones to Gallows and Anderson.

Then AJ was sent crashing back down to earth with a bang as Undertaker chokeslammed off the roof.

Taker then began explaining to Styles why this was happening as AJ attempted to apologise - but the American Badass was having none of it as he kicked his foe into the hole.

The Phenom then climbed into the digger and poured dirt all over Styles to win the match, picking up his bandana and mounting his motorbike as the sound of Metallica filled viewers' ears as he drove off.
