During his illustrious career at the pro-wrestling industry, Undertaker fought some of the best matches inside the unforgiving Hell in a Cell structure. However, his battle against Batista for the World Heavyweight Championship definitely ranks high among all his bouts. The steel showed no mercy to either men. But just as The Undertaker started to gain momentum and was close to pick the win, Edge made a shocking return, dressed up as a cameraman inside the Cell and attacked both men, which led to a double disqualification.
The Undertaker vs Mankind: (1998)
The Undertaker and Mankind were out for each other’s blood when they battled inside Hell in a Cell at the 1998 King of the Ring.

The Undertaker then went to close the contest with his signature finishing move Tombstone Piledriver.
