Spin-off of the other thread. Same question but including only matches inside a cage of some kind.
My current top ten:
1. Undertaker vs Brock Lesnar - WWE 10/20/02
2. Team Anarchy vs Devil's Rejects - NWA Anarchy 7/22/06
3. Undertaker vs Brock Lesnar - WWE 10/25/15
4. Ian Rotten vs Eddie Kingston - IWA-MS 7/8/05
5. ROH vs CZW - ROH 7/15/06
6. Samoa Joe vs Jay Briscoe - ROH 3/13/04
7. Shank vs Timber the Lumberjack - NWA Wildside 7/1/00
8. Ian Rotten vs J.C. Bailey - IWA-MS 11/15/03
9. JBL vs Chris Benoit - WWE 4/14/06
10. The Usos vs New Day (Kofi/E) - WWE 10/8/17
I need to see the 2007 NWA Anarchy Wargames ASAP and a rewatch of the Goldberg/Christian match from Raw in 2003 might help it crack my top ten.

I don't think I can do a top ten, but the following matches also deserve consideration:
AJ Styles vs. Abyss - TNA 4/24/05
Matt Hardy vs. Edge - WWE 9/18/05
Brodie Lee vs. Claudio Castagnoli - Chikara 9/7/08
Cody vs. Wardlow - AEW 2/19/20

Taker vs Edge and Batista vs HHH deserve some recognition as well. They're both fantastic showdowns to great rivalries, back when WWE knew when and how to take advantage of the HIAC gimmick. I would add Angle vs Joe at Lockdown 2008 too, but I need to rewatch it first to see if it holds up as well as I remember it.
Love the New Day/Usos and Lynch/Banks picks too, both are very creative matches.
The 2014 Elimination Chamber is also tremendous, probably the best EC match ever and a legit 2014 MOTYC in my eyes.

I also forgot about Sasha-Bayley from this past year. That also ruled.

Do the JBL/Eddie and Eddie/Rey TV cage matches still hold up for anyone? I haven't seen those in years but I'd guess they should be in consideration.

Just watched Eddie/Rey, at times it suffers from escape the cage rules and a commercial break, but it's a damn good match.
