As is the case with our first entry.

Kane vs. Bray Wyatt wasn’t necessarily a classic affair, but it did have a rather unique stipulation in that this was the first-ever - and to this point only -Ring of Fire match, whereby a literal ring of fire would surround the squared circle from beneath the bottom rope, preventing any nuisances from interrupting the contest.

So, basically, an Inferno match (but not quite as exciting).

In an Inferno match, you’re actually required to set your opponent alight somehow in order to score the victory. In a Ring of Fire match, though, the fire is simply a deterrent to prevent any outside interference - in this case from the Wyatt family members.

So really the stipulation just meant that this was match would indeed remain one-on-one, but with the added consequence that nobody would be able to leave the ring on account of the wall of flames. Unless, of course, someone used a fire blanket to dampen the blaze, as Luke Harper and Erick Rowan did indeed do…

Still, while it may have been a slightly watered-down version of the old Inferno matches, having a wall of fire so close to the action certainly constitutes crazy in my book.
