The 5 Best Hell in a Cell Matches in WWE history

#1 Shawn Michaels vs The Undertaker - Badd Blood, October 5, 1997

Kane confronts The Undertaker at the conclusion of the inaugural Hell in a Cell Match

The first ever Hell in a Cell match was a thrilling and intense encounter.

The feud between Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker ended in brutal and bloody fashion.

Both men blasted each other with brutal steel chair shots to the head and body and utilized the cage mesh and steel steps to a violent effect on one another.

After Michaels attacked a camera-man, the locked cell door was opened to stretcher him out. Once unlocked, the action spilled outside and ended on the roof of the cell.

As a bloodied Michaels desperately tried to escape The Undertaker by climbing down the cell, 'Taker caught up to him and smashed his boots on Michaels's hands causing him to lose his balance and crash through an announce table below.

Just as it seemed 'Taker was about to claim victory, his long-lost brother Kane emerged and tomb-stoned him. An alert Michaels, with all of the energy, left remaining in his battered body crawled over to his fallen foe and covered him for the win.

Michaels's face was a proverbial crimson mask but he had won the first and what still remains the best Hell in a Cell match of all time.
