It has been 23 long years since we first witnessed the unforgiving structure dubbed Hell In A Cell. It was quite a sight at the time and left the WWE Universe aghast at the thought of what Superstars would be able to do inside it once they were given an opportunity to do so. The fans' worst nightmares came true, as The Undertaker mercilessly destroyed Shawn Michaels in the first-ever Hell In A Cell match at Badd Blood 1997. Courtesy a debuting Kane, The Deadman lost to Michaels, who wasn't even in a condition to celebrate.
So far, we have seen 40 Hell In A Cell matches. Some of the greatest Superstars in WWE history have stepped inside the structure, either to bag a World title, or to settle a personal rivalry. In this list, we will take a look at three WWE Superstars who have never won a Hell In A Cell match, and three who are undefeated in the same.
#6 Bray Wyatt (never won: 0-1)
Bray Wyatt made his main roster debut in 2013, and made a major impact by putting down Kane at SummerSlam 2013. Wyatt has since wrestled in only two Hell In A Cell matches, with one of those appearances being as The Fiend. Back in 2015, Bray Wyatt was involved in a heated rivalry with top WWE Superstar Roman Reigns. Wyatt and Reigns decided to settle their score inside Hell In A Cell, and the two collided at the namesake pay-per-view in the end.
The Big Dog came out victorious, giving Wyatt his first loss inside the structure. It would be four long years before Wyatt would get another opportunity to score a victory inside Hell In A Cell. This time around, The Fiend took on Seth Rollins inside the cell, with the latter's Universal title on the line. When Rollins took it too far in the end and brutally attacked The Fiend with a sledgehammer, the referee stopped the match to a chorus of loud boos. The match ended with no winner declared, thus angering the fans who were always of the mind that a match like Hell In A Cell couldn't be stopped until a winner was declared.
#5 Kevin Owens (undefeated: 2-0)
As 2016 was nearing its end, WWE gave us one of the biggest shockers of the year, when Triple H turned on Seth Rollins and helped Kevin Owens win the Universal title on an episode of WWE RAW. This was Owens' first and only Universal title win. Rollins and The Game had been pretty close for a while, and it was a legit surprise to see Triple H turn on The Architect. Owens and Rollins kicked off a rivalry and met inside Hell In A Cell at the namesake pay-per-view.
Chris Jericho, who was Owens' friend at the time, got involved in the match and Owens ended up retaining his belt. A year later, Kevin Owens was the top heel on WWE SmackDown and had brutally attacked Mr. McMahon on TV. This didn't sit well with Shane McMahon, who began a feud with Owens. The duo eventually met inside Hell In A Cell, to put an end to the rivalry. The match lasted for almost 40 minutes and saw both competitors beating the tar out of each other. In a surprising turn of events, Sami Zayn helped Owens defeat Shane McMahon in the end. McMahon would go on to team up with Daniel Bryan and defeat Sami and Owens at WrestleMania 34.
#4 Shane McMahon (never won: 0-3)
The first time Shane McMahon wrestled inside Hell In A Cell was in 2006. This was the culmination of a months-long rivalry between Vince and Shane McMahon, and D-Generation X. Shawn Michaels and Triple H had reunited soon after WrestleMania 22 and were making Vince McMahon's life a living hell. The score was settled at the Unforgiven 2006 pay-per-view, where the McMahons teamed up with Big Show to take on DX. The match was certainly an unforgiving one, and there were moments when DX was on the verge of defeat, but they eventually managed to defeat the villainous trio. The match was the definitive end of DX's feud with Vince and Shane McMahon.
A decade later, at WrestleMania 32, Shane met The Undertaker inside Hell In A Cell and tasted his second consecutive defeat. A year later, he wrestled Kevin Owens inside Hell In A Cell to settle a personal feud. Sami Zayn helped Owens to win the match on this night, thus bringing Shane's record to 0-3.
#3 Batista (undefeated: 2-0)
Batista won the World Heavyweight title from Triple H at WrestleMania 21, thus becoming the biggest star in WWE and someone who was destined to be the face of the company in the near future. Batista was heavily pushed at the time, and he scored another victory over The Game at Backlash 2005. The duo met again inside Hell In A Cell at Vengeance 2005. At this point, Triple H had never lost a Hell In A Cell match, and fans were behind Batista like never before. The Animal proved his mettle on this night and defeated his former mentor to retain the belt.
Two years later, Batista had a heated rivalry with The Undertaker over the World Heavyweight title. The Undertaker had defeated Batista at WrestleMania 23 to win the World Heavyweight Championship. By the time Survivor Series 2007 came around, Batista was again the World Champion. The two went at it inside Hell In A Cell and wrestled for just over 20 minutes. In the end, Edge interfered in the match and attacked The Deadman, allowing Batista to pin him and retain the World Heavyweight title belt.
#2 Mankind/Cactus Jack (never won: 0-4)
There isn't a more unlucky guy to have stepped foot inside Hell In A Cell, than Mankind. His Hell In A Cell woes began when he teamed up with Kane to take on The Undertaker and Stone Cold Steve Austin, in a losing effort on an episode of WWE RAW. Mankind soon faced The Undertaker inside Hell In A Cell and was defeated by The Deadman at King of the Ring 1998, in a match that many fans still believe is the best Hell In A Cell outing in history.
A couple of months later, Mankind took on Kane inside Hell In A Cell. This match took place on an edition of WWE RAW and ended in a no contest. Mick Foley's last Hell In A Cell match saw him don the gimmick of Cactus Jack, and take on Triple H at No Way Out 2000. This incredibly brutal encounter saw Triple H eventually coming out victorious, and retaining his WWE Championship. Foley was forced to retire as a result but was brought back for a WWE title match at WrestleMania 16.
#1 Brock Lesnar (undefeated: 2-0)
Brock Lesnar has been a WWE Superstar for around a decade if we combine both of his WWE runs. He has wrestled in two Hell In A Cell matches during his two stints, with The Undertaker being his opponent on both occasions. Back in 2002, Lesnar defeated The Rock to win his first WWE title at SummerSlam. He soon began a rivalry with The Undertaker and it culminated inside Hell In A Cell at No Mercy 2002. Brock Lesnar put down The Undertaker like no one had done before, and retained the belt in one of the most brutal Hell In A Cell encounters in history.
Twelve years later, Lesnar defeated The Undertaker at WrestleMania 30, thus putting an end to the streak. Their rivalry continued the next year and was finally settled inside Hell In A Cell. The 18-minute match saw both men brutalizing each other on various occasions. In the end, though, Lesnar hit a low blow on The Undertaker, followed by the third F-5 of the match, resulting in his victory over The Phenom.
