Two iconic moments involving The Undertaker that were unscripted

#3 The iconic Hell In A Cell moment

The Hell In A Cell match between The Undertaker and Mankind at King of the Ring 1998 is widely regarded as possibly the most famous match of all time, primarily due to two reasons. The first was Mankind's fall off the cell, on an announce table, which is one of the most iconic visuals in WWE history. The second one happened minutes later. Mankind was Chokeslammed by The Undertaker on the top of the cell, and the script called for him to bounce off the cage.

Things went horribly wrong here, and the cage gave way, resulting in Mankind breaking through it and falling to the ring in one of the scariest moments in WWE history. The match didn't stop here though, as The Undertaker made his way down and the made quick work of Mankind to pick a victory over the sinister entity. The unscripted moment on the top of the cage could have resulted in tragedy, but thankfully, Mankind didn't suffer anything serious and went on to wrestle many more legendary matches.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
