Matches held in the Cell are one-fall, with no count-outs or disqualifications. Though the Cell doors are typically chained and locked shut, there have been few instances where the wrestlers have fought on top of the cell.

At the 1998 King of the Ring, Foley faced the Undertaker in a bloody match. At the start, the Undertaker threw Foley from the top of the Cell, sending Foley crashing onto the Spanish announce table.

Foley somehow continued the match, again climbing to the top of the cell, only to be chokeslammed through the cell roof, slamming into the ring below. To conclude the match, the Undertaker chokeslammed Foley again in the ring--this time, on thumbtacks. The match is still regarded as one of the most violent matches in WWE history.
