#17 Shawn Michaels vs The Undertaker - Badd Blood: In Your House 1997

Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker have faced each other multiple times over the years, and almost every time they have managed to create history. At the 1997 In Your House pay-per-view, Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker battled in the first-ever Hell in a Cell match.

The devilish structure made its first-ever debut in WWE with The Undertaker dominating Michaels for most of the match. The two wrestlers battled all around the ring, fighting for every inch of ground, neither willing to give way to the other.

The match was one of the most brutal matches to take place in WWE’s history at this time. Halfway through the match, a camera person was “injured” as a result of which the cell door had to be opened. The match spilled outside the cage and the two climbed up the side of the cage. Michaels ended up hanging from the side of the cell, with The Undertaker stomping on his hands. Michaels fell from the cell through the announcement table below in an extreme spot no one expected.

As if that was not enough, when the match continued inside the ring, Paul Bearer walked out with the debuting Kane. Kane ripped the door of the cell off its hinges and hit the Tombstone Piledriver on The Undertaker. Shawn Michaels took advantage to pin The Deadman and pick up the win.
