Meltzer stated the following:

“Those in WWE that we asked said that there was never a serious thought or plan, but Hell in a Cell was heavily discussed for Rhodes vs. Reigns before the decision to change everything after the injury to Seth Rollins and the decision to put the title on McIntyre.

We were told the idea of Rhodes vs. Randy Orton came up and was the direction, and then that was changed four different times since it was first brought up. However, it has largely been the direction since the plan for Orton to win the Elimination Chamber match, which we were told was made in the first week of February.”

At this time, there is no word regarding when Hell in a Cell will return, although there are reports that WWE could add stipulation matches to the WrestleMania card.

The post WWE reportedly considered having Roman Reigns vs. Cody Rhodes take place inside Hell in a Cell appeared first on NoDQ.com: WWE and AEW Coverage.

I should not complain though. For a show titled Bad Blood we got blood and lots of it in that opener. I mean it was a nice change of pace for once. In the past matches would be stopped if someone got a paper cut. Drew bled a ton and delivered a hell of a match with Punk. The unsung hero of the match is apparently the monster Abyss. For a guy who was in TNA for the prime of his career, I’m glad he’s having so much success in the WWE in a backstage/producer role. This HIAC match was probably the closet the WWE has come to a TNA Monster’s Ball match. Only thing missing was thumbtacks and barbwire…though we did get those beads which I’m sure did hurt.

Circling back to the main event, I was shocked when The Rock’s music hit and he showed up. Apparently the other day Pat McAfee might have spoiled this when he asked Cody in a video after his show about “the big guys return”. I didn’t pay much attention to it when I saw and I’m glad I didn’t. The Rock’s return like I said was a genuine shock. The Rock coming back adds so many damn layers to The Bloodline story which I believe was starting to run dry. Roman only works certain dates now and Cody has soundly defeated Solo on more than one occasion. I’m guessing this is leading to the build up for War Games since the WWE Champion vs. World Champion match has been moved from Survivor Series to Crown Jewel. So they need something big for War Games this year to carry the Survivor Series event.

There are so many ways The Rock could go. I believe (as do others on the interwebs) that he’s going to turn on Roman and be revealed to in league with Solo and that part of The Bloodline. Solo would still be the tribal chief, but The Rock would be a revered tribal elder. Yeah, hes THE FINAL BOSS, but it goes deeper than that. If you remember back to the original Rock vs. Roman press conference, The Rock showcased a Bloodline family tree explaining how everyone was related and their place in the line. The Rock had “High Chief Seiuli” under his name. He inherited this from his grandfather the original “High Chief” Peter Maivia. I’m by no means an expert at the lay of the land with this stuff. I can only go by what I see and read and I think The Rock is going to be in with Solo.

As an added bonus, after the show was over The Rock did one of his walking and talking Instagram promo’s. He didn’t say it outright, but he sure did insinuate he did not like what he just witnessed in the main event. So one has to assume he’s not happy with Roman. He also said it goes back six months. That’s Wrestlemania and that’s when Roman lost the title to Cody. My favorite part of the promo was him walking past the WWE trucks and there’s this huge picture of Dusty Rhodes on it. The Rock says “he loves Dusty…but he hates his son”. So The Rock vs. Cody is almost a guarantee down the road. Who would have guessed in 2024 going into 2025 The Rock would be doing some of his best work ever with THE FINAL BOSS. You have to capitalize it to show the added significance it has. I for one am excited to see where it goes. Insider @WrestleVotes on Twitter simply posted “1,2,3…41” after The Rock showed up at the end of Bad Blood. We are about to be on a hell of a roller coaster ride for the build up to Wrestlemania 41 in Las Vegas.

It’s fun to be excited about things isn’t it? I can’t say the same about AEW. The second annual WrestleDream is next week and aside from Danielson vs. Moxley, there’s nothing really on this card that screams…well WrestleDream. Chris Jericho is getting another shot at a World Title when he faces Mark Briscoe. I love Mark, but Jericho bores the hell out of me and I say that as a Jericho fan. This whole learning tree thing is just so dumb. Big Bill and Bryan Keith honestly deserve better than being second and third fiddle to Jericho. I just hope Mark Briscoe does not lose but you know Jericho is ready to trademark “The Nueve” since that would be nine world titles for him.

One match I’m interested in seeing in the train wreck aspect is Jack Perry vs. Katsuyori Shibata. These two have no business facing each other. Shibata is vastly over qualified to be facing Jack Perry. But Perry is an annoying little bastard who I would love to see get stretched the hell out of. I have said I don’t mind Jack Perry as TNT Champion. But this Scapegoat gimmick is dead in the water and he needs a banger of a match to prove he deserves that title. With the conflicting styles I just don’t know if he’ll have it.

Another match that should at least be good is Will Osprey vs. Ricochet vs. Takeshita in a triple threat for the International title. We know what Osprey and Ricochet can do together. Adding Takeshita into the mix should be a nice counter balance to all the flippy moves.

Speaking of flippy moves, The Corporate Young Bucks defend the tag title against Private Party. This should be a perfectly fine tag match. But I do not care about The Bucks as tag champions. At this point I will take anyone getting the belts off of them…even Private Party. It’s been a long time since I cared about Private Party so hopefully they turn back the clock to the Private Party of a few years ago with this one.

I am sorry if I am bashing AEW here. I mean they just inked their renewal deal with Warner Bros/Discovery. So everything should be cool. But in all honesty it is not. They gave away Danielson vs. Okada III the other day not only for free, but with less than a day’s notice to boot. That just screams desperation on Tony Khan’s part and that wing and a prayer of a match didn’t even break 700 thousand for the night. Well to be fair they were up against MLB Playoffs. I mean I had the lap top tuned to the Mets game (who are on a divine mission from Grimace himself) while I watched Dynamite on the big tv. But still, a match of the significance of Danielson vs. Okada III…for all we know will be the final match they ever have should have gotten more than 24 hours notice.

I don’t doubt that WrestleDream won’t be a good PPV. AEW always over delivers when it comes to PPV’s. With shows bordering on and sometimes over four hours long, they have to do that. It’s just asking Bryan vs. Moxley to carry this PPV is A LOT.

On that note I am done for this week. As always comment can be left down below, on twitter or just email them to me @ phantomlordnyc@gmail.com

The post Video compilation of forgotten WWE Hell in a Cell matches appeared first on NoDQ.com: WWE and AEW Coverage.

1. The Undertaker vs. Mankind – King of the Ring (1998)

This match is legendary for the unforgettable bumps Mankind (Mick Foley) took—being thrown off the top of the cell and through it. While not a technical masterpiece, the sheer violence and spectacle make it perhaps the most iconic Hell in a Cell match ever.

2. The Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels – Badd Blood (1997)

The first-ever Hell in a Cell match set the bar high with incredible storytelling, brutal spots, and the introduction of Kane. Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker created a perfect blend of athleticism, emotion, and violence that defined the structure’s purpose.

3. Triple H vs. Cactus Jack – No Way Out (2000)

A career-threatening match for Foley (as Cactus Jack), this bout delivered incredible brutality, including the infamous spot where Foley fell through the cell roof. It was a career-defining match for Triple H and one of the most violent matches in WWE history.

4. The Undertaker vs. Triple H – WrestleMania 28 (“End of an Era”)

With Shawn Michaels as the special guest referee, this match was filled with emotion and drama, culminating in a truly epic battle. It was billed as the “End of an Era,” and while not the most violent, it’s one of the most dramatic and emotional Cell matches ever.

5. Becky Lynch vs. Sasha Banks – Hell in a Cell (2019)

A high-quality, innovative, and physical match, this is regarded as one of the best women’s Hell in a Cell matches ever. Becky and Sasha brought creative use of weapons, intense storytelling, and high-impact moves, making it a modern classic.

6. The Usos vs. The New Day – Hell in a Cell (2017)

One of the best tag team Hell in a Cell matches, it showcased both teams’ creativity and physicality. The Usos and New Day used the cell structure in unique ways, telling a great story with intense action from start to finish.

7. The Undertaker vs. Brock Lesnar – No Mercy (2002)

This match was a brutal and bloody war, as Lesnar and The Undertaker delivered one of the most physical battles inside the Cell. Lesnar’s victory solidified him as a dominant champion, while Undertaker showed why he’s a Hell in a Cell specialist.

8. Cody Rhodes vs. Seth Rollins – Hell in a Cell (2022)

It blended real-life drama with in-ring storytelling, highlighted by Cody wrestling with a legitimate torn pectoral muscle. His visible injury added emotional depth, as Rollins ruthlessly targeted it while Cody fought through immense pain, displaying grit and resilience. The match was the culmination of a long-running feud, with both men delivering creative spots and using the cell structure effectively.

9. Seth Rollins vs. Dean Ambrose – Hell in a Cell (2014)

The intensity between Rollins and Ambrose, both formerly in The Shield, created an emotionally charged, high-impact match. While it had a controversial ending involving Bray Wyatt, it remains one of the more exciting modern Hell in a Cell bouts.

10. Edge vs. The Undertaker – SummerSlam (2008)

This match capped off the heated feud between Edge and The Undertaker. It featured great storytelling, with Edge using every tactic to try to win, only to ultimately be outmatched by The Deadman, who sent Edge crashing through the ring to hell.

11. Batista vs. Triple H – Vengeance (2005)

A violent and bloody match that ended the Batista vs. Triple H rivalry. It was a war of attrition, with both men using everything in their arsenal, including chairs, chains, and steel steps, making it one of the most brutal Cell matches ever.

12. The Undertaker vs. Randy Orton – Armageddon (2005)

This match marked the climax of the Undertaker-Orton feud, with Orton trying to prove himself against The Deadman. The match had excellent storytelling, dramatic spots, and physical intensity, making it a classic Cell encounter.

13. Sasha Banks vs. Charlotte Flair – Hell in a Cell (2016)

The first-ever women’s Hell in a Cell match and the first time women headlined a WWE pay-per-view. Sasha and Charlotte delivered a historic match, combining physicality, innovative spots, and an emotional storyline to create a memorable encounter.

14. Roman Reigns vs. Jey Uso – Hell in a Cell (2020)

15. Kevin Owens vs. Shane McMahon – Hell in a Cell (2017)

This match was known for its dangerous high spots, including Shane McMahon’s jump off the top of the cell. Owens and McMahon told a great underdog vs. authority figure story, with Sami Zayn’s unexpected involvement adding a shocking twist.

The post A list of 15 great WWE Hell in a Cell matches to watch before you die appeared first on NoDQ.com: WWE and AEW Coverage.

Since this match, there have been many matches that had dangerous stunts and even drops from higher altitudes than what Mick Foley felt. HOWEVER, what happened to Foley was real and weren’t planned stunts by the WWE company. Quite the opposite, as Foley kept his plans quiet from WWE management and the Chokeslam drop through the ceiling of the cage was 100% unplanned. THAT is the difference, as everything now is planned ahead of time and obviously safety precautions are taken. Hence, why all of those matches are forgettable and why Foley vs. Undertaker from King of the Ring 1998 is still talked about to this day.

Prior to 1998, the Undertaker and Mick Foley (as Mankind) had a great feud through 1996 and in my opinion, it woke up the Undertaker from the “fighting with many hosses and giants” nap that his career was taking during most of the 1990s. Foley was different, as he was a violent character with Mankind but willing to take the punishment. Thus, the Undertaker looked better when wrestling Mankind because the Undertaker could easily slam a smaller Mankind than say Giant Gonzalez, Yokozuna, or Mabel. As Cactus Jack previously, Foley was bumping for everyone like a champ and taking high risk spots (like powerbombs on concrete floors) whether it was in WCW or ECW. While Undertaker debuted with the WWE during late 1990, it is my opinion that his peak years began in 1996 thanks to Foley.

And remember, during the Foley feud from 1996, Paul Bearer would eventually turn on the Undertaker. Then, Paul Bearer would introduce Kane, the long-lost brother of the Undertaker who was thought to be dead from a funeral fire. Following Foley’s feud with Steve Austin, where Foley wrestled as a heel Dude Love, Foley returned to the Mankind character but with the Corporation influenced white shirt to show him as a confused character conflicted on where he’d go next. After the Austin feud, Mankind would team-up with Kane and we’d have a mini-feud between Undertaker/Steve Austin versus Kane/Mankind. This feud spun off into a “First Blood” WWE Title match between Kane and Steve Austin and the Hell in a Cell match between Undertaker and Mankind.

Sadly, not many people remember what else happened on this WWE King of the Ring 1998 show besides Foley’s match with the Undertaker in the Hell in the Cell. Overshadowed are moments like Kane actually winning the WWE Title over Steve Austin, Ken Shamrock winning the King of the Ring Tournament and defeating the Rock in the Finals, a fun match between X-Pac and Owen Hart, and the New Age Outlaws defeating the NEW Midnight Express (OK, I’m kidding on that last one). As I look back on this show, I’m realizing that TWO former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) legends are working for the WWE with Ken Shamrock and Dan Severn. For the past decade, anyone with UFC credentials gets praised and pushed within the WWE. Oddly enough, this is probably the peak of Shamrock and Severn didn’t make much of an impact.

Everyone remembers Undertaker vs. Mankind at King of the Ring 1998, period. That match is legendary, but it also helped bring attention to much needed safety measures to protect future performers in Hell in a Cell matches or other death defying stunt attempts.

Before the match, reportedly, Mick Foley and Terry Funk were brainstorming ideas on how to differentiate the Undertaker vs. Mankind match from the In Your House: Badd Blood 1997 match between Shawn Michaels and Undertaker. Much of that match was actually inside the ring except when a WWE employee was struck and needed medical attention to cause the door to be opened. Then, Michaels and Undertaker went outside the cage and it was then that Michaels took a dangerous bump when hanging off the side of the cage. Thus, Mick and Terry wanted to one-up that stunt and do something entirely different with the match.

“What if we started the match on top of the cage?”, they thought.

That is exactly what Undertaker and Mankind did. Instead of getting inside the cage, Mankind opts to climb the cage the cage on the outside instead (while also throwing a chair on top of the cage). The Undertaker arrives and follows Mankind to the top. Mind you, they didn’t have pre-cut holes as they’d have in future Hell in a Cell matches, so thus Mankind and Taker are climbing that thing in wrestling boots. As Foley said later, he had worries about climbing down the cage if he had to… But Foley didn’t have to climb down, as we’d find out soon enough. Furthermore, the Undertaker actually had a broken foot for this match. Could you imagine climbing a fence with a broken foot?

While on top of the cage, both wrestlers are beginning to break metal zip ties and the ceiling is beginning to fall apart. This would be Mick Foley’s undoing on the 2nd spot… However, the Undertaker could have taken a dangerous spot, as Mankind tried to suplex Foley but Undertaker countered it. Then, they did the PLANNED spot of Undertaker throwing Mankind over the side of the cage and onto the announcer’s table. When I say planned, this was between the Undertaker and Foley, and maybe loosely with other WWE officials. The spot was highly dangerous and Foley takes a flipping bump that could have been much worse. However, he did separate his shoulder on the fall and from that, the medical officials came down with stretcher to immediately attend to Mick Foley.

As they’re wheeling Foley to the back, he gets off the stretcher and starts to climb that Hell in a Cell cage once again where the Undertaker remains. Then, a major accident happened that could have been much, much worse. After brawling on the top, the Undertaker goes to Chokeslam Mankind. Thankfully, the wrestlers chose to do this spot over the center of the wrestling ring because had this been over a ring post, ropes, or the cement floor, Foley would likely pass away from landing badly on anywhere but a wrestling ring. Furthermore with Foley, he said he was exhausted and poorly sold the Chokeslam. What this means is that Foley didn’t leap upward like you’d normally do, which could have caused the downward impact of the Chokeslam to be much more severe.

As noted before, the ceiling of this Hell in a Cell structure was held together by metal zip ties and weight of two 300+ pound guys walking on each frame of the cage’s ceiling was causing those zip ties to pop. Well, the weight of Mankind crashing down from a Chokeslam actually caused that ceiling frame to get loose and Mankind came crashing down to the right legitimately. Making matters worse, the chair that Foley tossed on top of the cage was positioned exactly where Foley was to be chokeslammed. Not only did Foley fall for real, but that steal chair just crushed him and legitimately knocked him out. It is BRUTAL and the commentary of Jim Ross screaming legitimate concern has been played back and used in many memes ever since. Everyone rushes to the ring to help what could be a dead Mick Foley.

Somehow, and by the power of God or something else in the universe, Foley wakes up and not only finishes his match with the Undertaker, but also appears later to help interfere with the Austin and Kane Main Event Match. THAT IS CRAZY! Not only that, Foley had plans to use thumbtacks in the match and during the match, he remembered to pour them all over the ring. The Undertaker chokeslammed Foley onto those thumbtacks but after the match while medics are literally pulling thumbtacks out of Foley’s arm, he asked the Undertaker if they used thumbtacks or not. He was THAT out of it. Foley was concussed but he also lost some teeth, including one that got into his nasal cavity and appeared to stick out of his nose.

After the match, Vince McMahon reportedly told Foley to “please don’t do this kind of match again” and legitimate safety precautions were considered. The ceilings on Hell in a Cell were reinforced, which probably SAVED many wrestlers from harm, and any high risk bumps were planned in advance with extra precautions. Foley would later push the boundaries one more time to Vince’s dislike, specifically the Royal Rumble 1999 where the Rock pounded Foley with multiple Steel Chairshots to his head. Fast forward to Foley’s match with Triple H during early 2000 during a Hell in a Cell match, Foley does go through the top of the cage but it was obviously planned and the ring was adjusted to create a safe landing spot. I think like a year later, Rikishi was on the top of the cage and he took a safe fall from the top.

Foley would retire after Wrestlemania 16, but had several WWE matches after that and also performed for TNA. But to the level of this danger or degree, as seen at King of the Ring 1998, nothing quite as dangerous. The impact of this match is that is not only remembered 25 years later, but it did make Foley a bigger star. Steve Austin disposed of him after their post-Wrestlemania 14 feud and this match put fans on notice. Then, Foley introduced the world to Mr. Socko and was converted into a full babyface. Honestly, the Hell in a Cell match, combined with Foley’s personal story, really boosted the sympathy towards Foley. If he’s willing to nearly kill himself in a match, then he must love performing for fans. And he did.

Rest of 1998 saw Foley grow stronger and stronger as a babyface and then he was placed into an awesome late 1998 and early 1999 feud with the Rock. The storyline and matches were seriously peak Attitude Era stuff and it allowed Foley to become a WWE Champion. Things kept opening up for Foley, as his auto-biography sold well and seriously opened up the door for other wrestlers to tell their life’s story on paper. I personally appreciated that, as disliked reading long novels but found reading wrestler biographies to be a breeze! Then, advertisers started using Foley, such as Chef Boyardee.

The crazy thing about Foley’s dangerous stunts and matches is that he didn’t need to do those wild stunts… He was a great wrestler who cut amazing promos. That said, his ability to withstand punishment and remain not just alive, but able to keep fighting really grew the admiration and respect by wrestling fans. Foley is a complete unicorn when it comes to professional wrestling and Jim Ross really hit a homerun with that signing in 1996 even though Vince McMahon was reluctant about Foley at the time. Then, Vince saw his matches and those one-on-one interview segments with Jim Ross, and he was hooked. Then, the “many faces of Foley” between switching between Mankind, Dude Love, and Cactus Jack created so many storyline possibilities but also helped sell extra merchandise. You gotta get all 3 Jakks figures, guys!

That said, this King of the Ring 1998 match is remembered because it was one of the earlier Hell in a Cell matches, before the concept was overused, and also because of the unplanned disaster that it became. I’m still amazed that Foley not only survived that Chokeslam bump, but was able to function afterward and remain as intelligent as he is. Not just the impact of that ring, but the chair slamming on his head. Just brutal… And then, he finished the match and later appeared during the Austin/Kane match. I don’t know how Foley operates the way he does…

Get this… So I’m tuning into WWE King of the Ring 1998’s Pay Per View with my usual buddies and it was announced that it was in Pittsburgh, PA… Damn it, I was so pissed because I probably would have attended this show, as it’s the most local city to me, had I known the WWE’s travel schedule better back then. I would have LOST MY MIND if I saw this match live in-person, just as a lost my mind watching it on Pay Per View as it happened.

25 years ago, Foley vs. Undertaker took place. Feeling old yet?

The current wrestling industry needs to realize that their hardcore stunts aren’t remembered like the thinks that Foley did. Why? Well, obviously, Foley took that punishment for real and what you see now is planned. But nobody did these dangerous stunts before Foley was around and thus it was unique. When you see people getting thrown through tables during a regular match on RAW, Smackdown, or Dynamite, you’ve seen it a thousand times already and know that it’s a planned safe stunt. Am I saying that wrestlers take more risks and not be safe? NO!!!!!! What I’m saying is “LESS IS MORE” and to quote the Barenaked Ladies, “IT’S ALL BEEN DONE… Before!”. Nothing what WWE, NXT, AEW, GCW, or Indy wrestlers try to day is unique. When something violent happens, wrestling fans are desensitized to it and thus creates a lesser impact. Fans still remember Foley vs. Undertaker in that Hell in a Cell cage.

This is definitely a Pay Per View and match to check out on your WWE Network or Peacock. 25 years ago, the King of the Ring 1998 was held and the Undertaker broke Mick Foley in half.

“The show itself, I think is completely dead. That match, from what I understand means a lot to Hunter [Triple H], just think of the classics that he’s had in there.”

It was brought up how after six weeks, Roman Reigns and Jey Uso had a HIAC match since the HIAC PLE was on the schedule but “that’s not going to happen anymore.” It’s believed that WWE will at least continue to produce HIAC matches when a storyline/feud calls for one.

According to Meltzer, Rhodes had surgery on Thursday, June 9th in Birmingham, AL under Dr. Jeffrey Dugas. WWE had mistakenly listed the surgery date as Wednesday. The belief is that Rhodes will be out of action for up to six months. John Cena recovered from the same injury after four months and Triple H took five months to recover.

Brandi Rhodes wrote the following about her husband’s surgery via Twitter…

“The doctor just repaired Cody’s pectoral tendon which was torn completely off the bone. Successful surgery. He is on the road to recovery now.”

“Have gotten messages from talent in *every* major company tonight in awe at what Cody Rhodes pulled off at #HIAC. That’s how big that was.

Was it the right decision to allow him to wrestle? That’s going to be debated for a long time. I don’t know what his pain threshold is, or how comfortable his dancing partner felt with his limited mobility (clearly, enough). Will be quite the story to revisit years from now.”
