In Your House 6 (retroactively titled In Your House 6: Rage in the Cage) was the sixth In Your House professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by the World Wrestling Federation, which took place on February 18, 1996, at the Louisville Gardens in Louisville, Kentucky. The main event of the show was a Steel Cage match, in which reigning WWF World Heavyweight Champion Bret Hart defended the championship against Diesel. With the launch of the WWE Network in 2014 this show became available on demand, but does not include the three dark matches held after the main show.
The professional wrestling matches at In Your House 6 featured professional wrestlers performing as characters in scripted events pre-determined by the hosting promotion, World Wrestling Federation (WWF). Storylines between the characters played out on WWF's primary television programs, Monday Night Raw.
At the 1995 Survivor Series Bret Hart defeated Diesel to win the WWF World Championship. Diesel, who had been a face throughout his time as champion, began showing more and more heel tendencies both in his wrestling style and comments towards other wrestlers; at the 1996 Royal Rumble he attacked Hart during a title match against The Undertaker, costing the latter his opportunity for the championship. After this, Bret Hart was scheduled to defend the championship against Diesel on In Your House 6. To prevent any outside interferencen this match was placed inside a Steel cage.
