Have you seen actual play TTRPG shows, like Dimension 20? A group of extremely talented UCB improvisers play the game of DnD. Game Master has a prepared world/story in mind, but it's extremely flexible and the player's improv can take it anywhere they want. It's brilliant, hilarious, and works extremely well.
Also, Dropout have just recently released "Bigger!", an improv show that's extremely funny and good, I highly recommend it!
Also, in Eastern European countries, they have this show called "KVN". It's kinda similar to the "Cagematch" you're describing. Teams of improvisers (mostly made up of university students from all over the country) compete in a series of challenges. Some are improv scenes, some are whose-line-style games, some are prewritten comedy sketches they write and perform. It's treated like a sport, the teams compete in a championship, the judges give them marks, the winners of each bracket move on to the next round, etc. It's highly popular and entertaining, there are thousands of teams.

This all sounds great! I've never seen Dimension 20 but I hear it's terrific.
