Since 2000, No Way Out has been the WWE's February pay-per-view. Though there are no specific match types exclusive to the event, there are often rematches from January's Royal Rumble, sometimes with modified match stipulations. No Way Out is still regarded as an important pay-per-view since it is the last show before the WWE's premiere event, WrestleMania.

In 2000, Cactus Jack faced Triple H in a Hell in a Cell match, during which Cactus was back-dropped through the cell ceiling and sent crashing into the canvas, which gave way.

The following year, rivals Stone Cold Steve Austin and Triple H battled in a 3 Stages of Hell Match. Both competitors were forced to face off in a regular one-fall match, a street fight and finally, a cage match.

In 2004, the late Eddie Guerrero won his first WWE Championship from Brock Lesnar. Guerrero's victory is considered by some fans to be a classic moment in wrestling history. ¹
