WWE Inferno Match Rules | Details

An Inferno match is (a type of no-disqualification, no-fall, no-countout match), the ring is completely surrounded by flames once both contenders have entered the ring.

The only way to win is to set your opponent on fire. Inferno matches usually end on the outside of the ring; this way, paramedics can assist the unfortunate loser of the match.

There have only been six inferno matches in WWE Due to the potentially graphic or dangerous nature of this type of match, it is very rarely seen in North America, Kane is best known for his participation in the first five inferno matches.

The first WWF Inferno Match took place between Kane and The Undertaker at the 1998 Unforgiven pay-per-view, where special effects and pyrotechnics experts were brought in from Hollywood to set up and control the fire around the ring.

Kane had been thrown out of the ring and The Undertaker had no way of attacking him unless he too went out of the ring. The match ended in The Undertaker's victory.

Randy Orton defeated The Fiend at the WWE TLC pay-per-view to win the Firefly Inferno match, which was fought off in the main event of the evening. Randy Orton won the match by setting The Fiend on fire.
