The eighth match to take place inside the dreaded Hell in a Cell structure occurred at Judgement Day 2002, with Triple H facing Chris Jericho. The match was supposed to be the culmination of a feud that saw Jericho lose the Undisputed Championship to Triple H in the main event of Wrestlemania 18.

However, by the time Judgement Day came about, Hollywood Hogan had become the leading babyface in WWE. Vince McMahon made the call to end Triple H's world title run and switch the championship to Hogan. The Jericho vs. Triple H feud then lost a ton of prestige without the Undisputed title attached to it.

To make matters worse, the Hell in a Cell match was slotted as the third to last on the show. Hogan vs. The Undertaker for the Undisputed title headlined the pay-per-view. Meanwhile, the Hair vs. Hair match between Edge and Kurt Angle was widely considered to be the best match of the night.

It wasn't a good night for the Hell in a Cell match.
