As we inch closer to the 14th edition of Hell in a Cell, take a look at some of the most memorable clashes inside the ‘Devil’s Favorite Playground’.
The Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels: (Bad Blood 1997)
This was the first time two wrestlers fought in a Hell in a Cell match. The Undertaker dictated the show almost throughout the match and just when it looked the ‘Deadman’ would put Shawn Michaels to rest things took a shocking turn. Kane, a 7-ft giant, walked out to flames and flaked by Paul Bearer, following which he launched an attack on Taker, which saw Shawn Michaels create history as he went on to defeat the ‘Deadman’.
Batista vs The Undertaker (2007)
During his illustrious career at the pro-wrestling industry, Undertaker fought some of the best matches inside the unforgiving Hell in a Cell structure. However, his battle against Batista for the World Heavyweight Championship definitely ranks high among all his bouts.
The steel showed no mercy to either men. But just as The Undertaker started to gain momentum and was close to pick the win, Edge made a shocking return, dressed up as a cameraman inside the Cell and attacked both men, which led to a double disqualification.
The Undertaker vs Mankind: (1998)
The Undertaker and Mankind were out for each other’s blood when they battled inside Hell in a Cell at the 1998 King of the Ring. The Hell in a Cell structure wasn’t enough to keep both men inside the ring. The action carried forward to the top of the cell, where The Undertaker threw Mankind off the top, not once, but twice. The Undertaker then went to close the contest with his signature finishing move Tombstone Piledriver.
