Hell on Earth 2005 was a pay-per-view held by Global Extreme Wrestling in early 2005, and was the last pay-per-view before that year's WrestleMania. Thanks to the GEW records fire, Hell on Earth 2005 is the first of only two GEW pay-per-view events from before May 2006 for which full records still exist.

History[]
GEW World Heavyweight Champion Triple H was feuding with GEW Intercontinental Champion Jeff Hardy over both titles. Triple H was aided by his Hidden Fears stable, numbering Edge, Christian, Undertaker and Eric Bischoff. Hardy was loosely aligned with Batista and The Rock, respectively feuding with Edge and Undertaker.
Christopher Daniels and AJ Styles were feuding with Ghost and Miguel Waterz.
The Event[]
The Rock vs. Undertaker carried the additional stipulation that if The Rock won, he would face Triple H at WrestleMania for whatever championships Triple H held. If Undertaker won, he would be allowed to hand-pick his WrestleMania opponent.
Todd Grisham interviewed The Rock before his match.
Before the main event, Triple and Undertaker appeared in a vignette in which they celebrated Triple H's earlier victory and Triple H asked Undertaker to make sure The Rock didn't interfere in the final match.
