With WWE Hell in a Cell 2017 just a few days, there is palpable excitement in the air. The Smackdown Live exclusive pay per view sees two Hell in a Cell matches on the card. The first has the deeply personal grudge match between Kevin Owens and Shane McMahon while the other has The New Day defending their Smackdown Live Tag Team Championship against The Usos.

The second match is of particular importance as it is the third ever Tag Team Hell in a Cell match sees Big E, Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods, Jimmy Uso, and Jey Uso all make their debuts inside the iconic structure.

But, which famous WWE superstars have never stepped foot inside the Cell? That's what we're here to find out. So, without any further ado, here is our list of 5 WWE superstars who have never competed in a Hell in a Cell match:


#5) Goldberg

It might seem a little unfair to include Goldberg on this list considering he spent such a large portion of his career with WCW, but he did have plenty left in the tank during his first run with the WWE in the mid-2000s.

There was huge potential in pitting Old Man Bill against a top WWE superstar inside Hell in a Cell during that initial run but it never came to fruition. Unfortunately, he was way too old the second time around to compete inside the Cell.

#4) Rey Mysterio

When you look at the list of WWE Champions and World Heavyweight Champions, there are very very few of them who have not competed inside Hell in a Cell. Rey Mysterio is one such WWE superstar.

It's pretty easy to see the reason why the WWE kept him out of it as well. With Vince McMahon's love to book Mysterio as the biggest underdog in the world, it would not have made much storyline sense to have him go through Hell in a Cell.

#3) Jeff Hardy

How has Jeff Hardy never competed inside Hell in a Cell? It seems so perfectly suited to his death-defying antics. Somehow it never came to pass during his run at the top of the singles division.

The younger Hardy brother has competed in all kinds of matches over the course of his storied career but just never made inside the Cell. You'd have to imagine that his feud with CM Punk would have been the perfect program for a Hell in a Cell match back in the day.

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like he will be afforded another opportunity anytime soon.

#2) AJ Styles

The Phenomenal One deserved to be in a Hell in a Cell match this year

Despite having been in the WWE for less than two years, AJ Styles merits a place on this list because of the missed opportunity with his WWE United States Championship match against Baron Corbin.

Just like when Roman Reigns faced off against Rusev for the same belt last year, The Phenomenal One deserves a shot at making a huge impact inside Hell in a Cell but for a reason known only to WWE creative, he has been denied the opportunity.

#1) The Miz

How is this not happened yet?!

Can you believe it? The Miz has never competed in a Hell in a Cell match. Despite his incredible Intercontinental Championship record and stats as a former WWE Champion, The A-Lister has never been booked in a Hell in a Cell match.

It defied belief when you consider that so many lesser superstars have made an appearance. At the end of the day, there is solace in the fact that there is plenty of time for the WWE to rectify this error in the years to come.
