What is a cage match?

A cage match is a type of professional wrestling match where the ring is surrounded by a steel cage or chain-link fence to prevent the wrestlers from escaping. The goal of a cage match is typically to either escape the cage or incapacitate the opponent so they cannot continue. Cage matches are often used to settle feuds or intense rivalries between wrestlers. They are known for their brutal and intense nature, as the steel cage adds an element of danger and high stakes to the match. The first cage match took place in 1937 and the concept has since become a popular and iconic match type in professional wrestling.
