9. Shawn Michaels vs Triple H – Bad Blood 2004

No matter what the circumstances, whenever Shawn Michaels and Triple H were in the ring against one another you knew you were going to see something spectacular, and their Hell In A Cell match from the Bad Blood pay-per-view in 2004 was no different. Starting with their epic battle at SummerSlam in 2002, the two former best friends engaged in some fantastic matches with one another (and others at times) and this one took things to great heights.

Now, on a top 10 list you might think that a match between HBK and HHH would be a little bit higher and the only reason that it’s not is because they really didn’t use the actual cell all that much. With that being said, that really didn’t make this match any less brutal as both men laid everything on the line and really got after one another. You have to remember that this is back when chair shots to the head were still a thing and both men took full advantage of that and busted each other open in that manner.

This match essentially turned into a Tables, Ladders and Chairs match inside Hell In A Cell as one of the high spots saw Michaels leap from a ladder to drop an elbow on HHH who just happened to be on his back on a table in the middle of the ring. However, Trips would pick up the win with a Pedigree after more than 47 minutes, making this encounter the longest Hell In A Cell match in history.
