Looking at his current spot in the roster, Kofi Kingston is not exactly a serious contender to win this, but this article of about match performances. Each year, Kofi does some kind of hi-flying exploit to save himself from getting eliminated. It can range from doing a handstand to riding on Big-E's shoulder.

You know something is missing from the match until you see Kofi pulling off highly-demanding stunts to save himself from being eliminated, despite having been thrown out of the ring over the top rope. He knows how to make his impact in the match even without winning it.

Mick Foley has been part of many memorable moments in his career and many of those came inside (or above) the deadliest structure of all, Hell in a Cell. Foley vs Undertaker is one such match that people talk about even now, after more than 20 years. Vince also knows what this meant to his company and that's why he even made Foley the Special Guest Referee this year in Hell in a Cell to mark the 20th anniversary of this match.

He did not compete inside the structure on many occasions, but whenever he decided to grace the cage with his presence, something extraordinary only came out each time. He had brutal Hell in a Cell match with wrestlers like Undertaker, Triple H, and Kane. These matches were the reason that Foley got the name 'The Hardcore Legend' and his legacy will live on forever.

Whenever fans think about this particular stipulation, The Undertaker is probably the first name that comes to mind and rightly so as this was designed keeping him in mind precisely. The first Casket match took place way back in Survivor Series 1992 in which Undertaker defeated Kamala. Since then, Undertaker's legacy has been unmatched in this. He has competed in this matches the most and has a record of 11-3.

His Deadman's gimmick complements the Casket matches really well. If he is not competing in one of these matches, it automatically becomes less exciting. After his retirement, casket matches will lose its meaning as he is the one that made this matches what it is today.

Jeff Hardy is synonymous with falling off of ladders in WWE. He is always known for his hi-flying and daredevil stunts. He is someone who always puts his body in danger for our entertainment and he is still continuing it even at the age of 41.

So, jumping off a ladder is a normal day's business for him. Even though he does not have as much success in this as someone like Edge or CM Punk, but again, this article honors the performance of the superstars and not the end result.

He has countless moments in ladder matches because of all those insane jumps. It was in a ladder match that Hardy established himself as a singles star, as he went one-on-one with The Undertaker for the WWE Undisputed Championship on RAW in 2002, which is still one of his most memorable matches.

Even though he has done enough with the ladders and has nothing to prove, fans would definitely want to see him have a final ladder match before retiring.

John Cena is one of the greatest wrestlers of all time with his 'Never Give Up' trade-mark. So, it is a no-brainer that he will be dominating in a stipulation in which a wrestler has to give up verbally. In fact, Cena has won the 'I Quit' matches most number of times with an undefeated streak of 5-0. This streak is definitely impressive and is something that will never get broken.

He even has an impressive list of victims as he had made wrestlers like Batista, Randy Orton, Miz and Rusev to Quit. This attitude has always helped Cena and is the reason that he is still the face of the company after all these years.
