#3 The Undertaker vs Triple H (WrestleMania XXVIII)

If there was one stipulation whose credibility and popularity took a huge dip after WWE went PG in mid-2008, that match was Hell in a Cell. Often regarded as the bloodiest and the most violent stipulation in WWE history, the quality of the matches toned down several levels following the Undertaker vs Edge classic in the Summer of 2008. This resulted in a series of lackluster Hell in a Cell matches in the next few years.

This trend, however, changed with a monumental match, a match that came to be known as 'End of an Era'. With two Hell in a Cell stalwarts fighting inside the Cell, face to face, for the first time and the third legend in Shawn Michaels officiating the match.

This match laid a whole new script about how to wrestle a phenomenal, violent and iconic Hell in a Cell match without the use of blood. It was something that future matches incorporated and achieved massive success.

Often regarded as one of the best matches in WWE history, the focal point of this match was not the use of blood but the smart use of sensational booking. Despite using only a handful of foreign objects(chairs, steel steps and a sledgehammer) and making minimal use of the cage, Taker and HHH wrestled a barn burner of a match in Miami.

It had everything - drama, violence, crowd support and a big match. This 30-minute historic clash, which The Undertaker won, stands as the epitome of a perfect Bloodless Cell match.
