Ranking Every PPV World Championship Steel Cage Match From Worst To Best

15. Triple H Vs. Shawn Michaels - Armageddon 2002

Title: World Heavyweight Championship

Match Time: 38:35

I wrestled with (ha!) including this one for a while but decided that it technically was inside a steel cage, with a world championship on the line. So it goes in! But it goes in last for cheating a little bit.

Not even one month removed from his emotional World Heavyweight Championship win inside the very first Elimination Chamber, Shawn Michaels defended that very belt in a 3 Stages of Hell match.

It would be his one and only defence, and the last time we’d ever see HBK with a world title around his waist after losing the first (street fight) and third (ladder match) falls of this match.

The second fall is what we’re here for though: inside a steel cage.

In the midst of his infamous reign of terror at the top of Raw, Triple H had Ric Flair with him at every turn, and this time was no different as the Nature Boy crashed the cage, bled like only he can and bumped all over the place for Michaels.

Being in the middle of an already long match, the steel cage was a short and sharp sprint of a fall, utilising all the weaponry that remained in the ring from the street fight prior.

It was a fun ten-or-so minutes, ending with Michaels splashing Trips through a table off the top of the cage and picking up the pinfall.
