Triple H said that they wanted to do The Boneyard match in a giant piece of land in the middle of nowhere, but because of the coronavirus outbreak, they were not allowed to travel too far. Triple H said the WWE officials and creative team then started looking for a big parcel of land near the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, but they were unsuccessful. Triple H added that they could only find a one-acre lot near a residential neighbourhood, which was not enough to shoot a cinematic wrestling match.

WWE officials then contacted Triple H and revealed to him that they were considering calling WWE Chairman Vince McMahon to ask him to cancel the grand fight and film it in a studio. Triple H, however, somehow convinced the officials and asked them to give it a go. “I was like, Michael (an official), this is it. This is the hand we have, these are the cards we’ve been dealt. We’ve got to figure out how to make this work now,” he said. WWE officials took Triple H’s advice and shot the match in the one-acre lot near WWE Performance Center in Orlando.
