WWE Unforgiven is a pay-per-view event produced by World Wrestling Entertainment, which usually takes place every September. It originally started out as a In Your House pay-per-view event in April and featured the infamous Inferno Match between The Undertaker and Kane. Since 2003, it has been a RAW brand-exclusive pay-per-view.
Kane holds the record for most times competed at Unforgiven. He fought at every Unforgiven until 2005, and holds a win-loss record of 3-4.
*HHH pinned Rock after a Pedigree to win the vacant title. Stone Cold Steve Austin was the special referee.
The Undertaker was originally suppose to be in the match and win. He was even featured on the promotional poster but was unable to compete due to nagging injuries. He also was going through a divorce at this time with his first wife, Jodie Lynn, so he also had several legal matters to deal with.

*HHH pinned Angle after a Pedigree and interference from Stephanie McMahon. Mick Foley was the guest referee.
'''Stone Cold Steve Austin returned to investigate who ran him down the year prior. Steve Blackman was accused by Shane McMahon of being the culprit, but it was just to get revenge on him from SummerSlam the month before, thus, ending in both getting Stone Cold Stunners. (Shane receiving 3 more than Blackman).
*Rock pinned Benoit after a Rock Bottom to retain the title. Benoit pinned Undertaker earlier in the match, but his win was overruled by commissioner Mick Foley since Undertaker's foot was on the ropes.
