AJ Styles was recently interviewed by Record Sport Online where he spoke on a wide variety of topics. One of these topics had to do with the Undertaker and his (likely) retirement at Wrestlemania 33 where he lost his match against Roman Reigns
Styles said that the Undertaker’s retirement was “heartbreaking” for him during the interview.
It turns out that the Undertaker and AJ Styles share a mutual friend with one another and because of that, they have become friends:
“I could tell you, I was emotional because he’s my friend. He and I have got a relationship..both of us have the same friend who we’re very close to, so then he and I developed this relationship without even knowing each other that well. But, it was heartbreaking, because this is the guy that’s been here for so long, and has shaped the WWE into what it is now”
He continued:
“Is he gone? I don’t know, but you would assume. I think there were some tears from fans that they may have seen the last of The Undertaker, and at the end of the day, if he’s done, I respect the heck out of him for doing it his way and doing what he wanted to do in his last match. He is and was everything to the WWE, and I’m thankful that I got to meet him and have a great conversation with him. He’s a great guy. If he’s gone, if that’s the last one, he will be missed”

We don’t know who the mutual friend that they share is but a pretty cool story. Also a shame that we will never get to see ‘The Phenom vs The Phenomenal One’.
