10 Best WWE Hell In A Cell Matches EVER - According To Dave Meltzer

10. Batista Vs The Undertaker (Survivor Series 2007, ****)

One of four Match-Of-The-Year candidates between the pair in 2007, the Survivor Series finale between Undertaker and Batista was in many ways a perfect variant of the match.

As a standalone contest, it was objectively excellent. Big Dave and 'The Deadman' redefined what it meant to be superheavyweights in the mid-2000s. Dispelling longstanding criticisms first with their show-stealing WrestleMania 23 and surpassing expectations in every future match they'd have, the giants worked at breakneck pace for performers their size, but never sacrificed the necessary physicality.

Away from the nuts and bolts of the battle though, it was also the end of two loose narrative threads and the start of a brand new one that would ultimately conclude in identical fashion several months later.

After a predictably gruelling war, a returning Edge made his mark disguised as a ringside cameraman. Removing the referee before he could register a certain three-count for Undertaker, the 'Rated-R Superstar' punctuated his vicious return with a camera shot and con-chair-to. Gifting one arch-rival the World Title in an act of spiteful revenge against the man he blamed for his injury absence, Edge closed the book on his story with Batista, as well as the 'Animal's own tale with 'Taker.
