Hell in a Cell is on🎀e of the most interesting match concepts WWE has created and, its origin story also is an interesting one.
A step above the steel cage match, Hell in a Cell usually carries signific💙ant weight as a sort of end to a several months long feud at the top of the card.
Shawn Michaels, along other wrestlers and wrestling historians spoke t♛o on the origin of this structure as well as the match that gave birth to the idea of it, which was a match between “Wildfire” Tommy Rich and “Mad dog” Buzz Sawyer on October 23, 1983.
“Undertaker and I had done a Lumberjack Match the month before [the first Hell in a Cell Match],” Michaels said. “The next logical step is a cage. I can remember saying, ‘We’ve done cage matches.’ We had tha𒁃t big blue steel cage that was brutal. It hurt so bad. It was tight up against the ring. I remembered years ago, Buzz Sawyer and Tommy Rich ꦛin The Omni, they had a top on the cage. I remember suggesting that. I had no idea the cage itself would turn into what it turned into.”
The first Hell in a Cell match was be🦋tween Michaels and The Undertaker at Badd Blood in 1997. The popularity of this match stipulation has created various great matches over the years and its own pay-per-view, usually done around October.
This year’s Hell in a Cell pay-per-view is scheduled for October 30 in Boston, Massachusetts. Because No Mercy is slated to be SmackDown’s PPV for the month, it is likely that꧂ Hell in a Cell is a RAW-exclusive show💯.
