WWF Rage in the Cage (WWF Mania Tour in Japan) is a professional wrestling video game released in December 1993 for the Sega CD gaming system. It was the first WWF game to feature actual video footage in the form of FMV clips seen in the game's opening video, as well clips of the wrestlers' signature moves that can be viewed on the wrestler select screen, and clips that play of the player's wrestler celebrating upon completion of the tournament mode. In addition, the game features audio introductions by Howard Finkel and rants between the competitors prior to the matches. However, for the game's music, developers did not take advantage of the CD format, as it resembles the digitized music of 16-bit games from that period. Rage in the Cage features 20 wrestlers, the most seen in a WWF game up to that time (this number would not be surpassed until WWF Attitude was released six years later).

The gameplay engine and graphical style are the same as in WWF Royal Rumble for the SNES and Sega Genesis. Also, much like in Royal Rumble, all featured wrestlers have their signature finishing moves. Modes of play include One Fall (a standard wrestling match won by pinfall or count-out), Brawl (no holds barred, no count-out, and the match ends when one wrestler completely depletes the other's energy), Cage Match (no holds barred match where victory is achieved by escaping the cage), and Tournament (select one wrestler and defeat the rest in a series of one fall matches to become WWF Champion). There are no tag team modes, despite the inclusion of actual tag teams in The Headshrinkers, Money Incorporated, and The Nasty Boys.
