WWF Royal Rumble is a professional wrestling video game released in 1993 for the Super NES and Sega Genesis.[1] Like its predecessor, WWF Super WrestleMania, it is based on the World Wrestling Federation (WWF). It features a variety of match types, including the newly added Royal Rumble match. The game's roster consists of wrestlers who were top stars in the WWF at the time, and each version of the game has five exclusive playable characters.

The game boasts several new features, including an on-screen meter grappling meter and steel chairs that can be used as weapons. Royal Rumble also adds a variety of new moves, including illegal tactics such as choking and each wrestler's signature finishing moves.

The game was followed up with the Sega CD release WWF Rage in the Cage and a direct sequel, WWF Raw.
