WWE: 10 Best Steel Cage Matches Ever

Steel Cage matches are some of the most vicious and brutal in WWE history. They are often matches that are used to resolve a feud or add to it. That's how it has always been in wrestling history. You don't start out a feud with a Steel Cage match. You build up to it. Maybe the heel in the match has some buddies that like to interfere, so they have a Steel Cage match as a way to prevent the interference and have the two rivals settle their differences inside the ring. A lot of times Steel Cage matches have blood in them. That's very true about the WWE Steel Cage matches in the 1980s, but they weren't always great to watch. A lot of them were slow and plodding. The cage does restrict a lot of movement, so sometimes it's harder to have a great match. There are some great NWA cage matches where blood was heavily involved although this list is about WWE matches only. Over the years, the Steel Cage match has evolved and turned into things like the Hell in a Cell and Elimination Chamber. There's even been Punjabi Prison matches although that's hardly considered the same thing. This list looks at those matches that took place inside a steel cage whether it was the silver cage that looked like it really hurt or the blue bar cage that looked less painful although it was easier to watch on television. Matches like Hell in a Cell and Elimination Chamber are their own separate entity. There will be a Steel Cage Match at Extreme Rules as John Cena battles Bray Wyatt. There's no title on the line and there probably won't be blood, but it should be a vicious battle between two rivals that involved in a good storyline these days. Could it make a list like this? Perhaps. For now, here are the ten best steel cage matches in WWE history.
