WWF No Mercy allows players to compete for seven different WWF titles, with each belt having its own unique story. Stories can be replayed, allowing players to defend their title in a storyline. After successfully completing a Story Mode, players will unlock the title they were competing for in Exhibition Mode, where titles can be won and defended as they see fit.
Up to four players can compete in a range of modes, including cage and ladder contests and pay-per-view events. The player can also create their own event and compete for unlocked WWF titles in Championship mode. Some matches take place outside the ring, in four different backstage areas.
