BADD BLOOD 1997 - UNDERTAKER VS. HBK

The Deadman was part of the first Hell in a Cell Battle, as his rivalry with Shawn Michaels – who had cost him the WWE Title at SummerSlam 1997 – led to the structure’s inaugural appearance. On Oct. 5, 1997, our fans witnessed first-hand the devastation that can occur inside the Cell; for over half an hour, Undertaker battered Shawn Michaels to within an inch of his career, bloodying HBK like never before. However, Badd Blood wasn’t just the first appearance of Hell in a Cell; it was also the first appearance of Kane. And thanks to a timely Tombstone from Undertaker’s baby brother, Michaels somehow escaped the brutal beating with a pinfall victory.
