5 WWE Superstars who have fallen from the Hell in a Cell cage

Hell in a cell is one of the most feared matches in WWE history, and with good reasons. WWE Superstars have had their bodies destroyed in the match.

As the 21st anniversary of the Hell in a Cell match approaches, here are 5 unlucky superstars who have fallen from the steel cage.

#5 Shawn Michaels

Shawn Michaels vs The Undertaker - Badd Blood (1997)

Shawn Michaels was the first superstar to survive Hell in a Cell, but was also the first victim. As Michaels climbed down the cell at Badd Blood in 1997, The Undertaker stepped on his fingers, forcing the Heart Break Kid to lose his grip and fall, going through a table back first.

The Undertaker then tosses Michaels onto the broken table with his face covered in blood. Shawn Michaels in the end pinned The Deadman who was Tomb-stoned by Kane. The length of the match was exactly 30 minutes.

#4 Mankind (Mick Foley)

The Undertaker vs Mankind - King of the Ring (1998)

Mick Foley fell from the cell 4 times in his career. The Undertaker was responsible for 3 of them. He infamously sent Foley off the cell twice at King of the Ring in 1998. 2 months later, The Deadman threw Foley off the side of the cell on Raw.

To Foley's credit, the match still continued for 10 more minutes as he remarkably recovered after that fall, but in the end Undertaker picked up the victory.

Mick Foley was also punished by Triple H at No Way Out in 2000. The Game sent Foley flying through the roof with a back body drop. This match was put in place to end the feud between Cactus Jack and Triple H, so that Cactus Jack could retire and Triple H would go on to WrestleMania.

#3 Rikishi

Before the six-man Hell in a Cell match at Armageddon in 2000, The Undertaker repeatedly warned Rikishi to stay away from him or he will make him famous. The Deadman did just what he promised as he choke-slammed the 425 pound Samoan off the roof the cell, bringing the match to a sudden stop.

This was probably the biggest assembly of all-time greats and future Hall of Famers in WWE. Kurt Angle defended his WWE Championship against The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Undertaker, Triple H, and Rikishi.

#2 Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins

Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins' rivalry literally reached new heights in a Hell in a Cell match in 2014. This match was for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

After brawling on the roof, they took the fight to the side of the cell where they traded blows, so they both fell and crashed through the announce table at ringside. WWE trainers tried to stop the match, but The Lunatic Fringe continued his attack on Rollins.

Ambrose tossed Rollins and slammed the cage door onto his face. After some interference, the match finished when Bray Wyatt burst through, taking out Ambrose, and Rollins covered him up for the win.

#1 Shane McMahon

Shane McMahon falling from the top of the cell

Everyone on this list fell off the cell, but Shane McMahon was the only one crazy enough to jump off the top.

At WrestleMania 32 against The Undertaker, Shane stood more than 20 feet above his opponent and took the ultimate Leap of Faith. But it didn't go as he planned, as he crashed through the announce table. He took the bump right on his back. The Undertaker then Tomb-stoned Shane and won the match.

This has been the most vicious fall so far, and a WrestleMania moment for Shane McMahon, obviously not in the way he wanted.
