The Undertaker Says AJ Styles Is The Shawn Michaels Of His Generation

The Undertaker speaks highly of AJ Styles.

WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker shared the ring with many greats throughout his legendary career. He memorably battled Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania twice. “The Phenom” also faced AJ Styles in his last match at WWE WrestleMania 36.

On a recent Patreon exclusive Q&A edition of his Six Feet Under Podcast, The Undertaker complimented Styles, calling him the Shawn Michaels of his generation. (H/t Robert DeFelice of Fightful for the transcription)

“[AJ Styles] checks all the boxes,” The Undertaker said.” 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. 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.”

AJ Styles is set to challenge Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship at WWE Backlash. WrestleZone will have coverage of the show as it airs.
