WWE Hell in a Cell matches have featured some of the most hardcore moments in professional wrestling history. This list features the likes of Undertaker, Mick Foley and Shawn Michaels.

It all started nearly 20 years ago when Shawn Michaels and the Undertaker took a trip on the Highway to Hell at the 1997 Badd Blood event. Both men walked into the first ever Hell in a Cell match to determine the number one contender for Bret Hart’s WWE Championship at the time.

The near 30-minute exhibition set the bar high for any future Hell in a Cell matches that would follow. It was a five-star quality affair between the two. But it was more than just a number one contender’s match between two of the best superstars at the time. It began a near 20-year legacy of brutal matches where superstars lost gallons of blood, sweat and tears inside the cell.
