WWE No Mercy 2016 Review: Live Results, Analysis and Grades

Follow along with our live review of the WWE No Mercy pay-per-view.

On Sunday night, the WWE No Mercy pay-per-view will take place. This is SmackDown’s second Brand Extension show since the WWE Draft in July.

The main event of No Mercy will have some familiar faces from Backlash. It will see AJ Styles, who won the WWE World Championship, defend the title against former champion, Dean Ambrose, and John Cena. This feud began on the post-Backlash episode of SmackDown.

This feud has mostly seen tensions between Cena and Ambrose heat up. Despite being babyfaces, they’ve displayed a disdain for each other, that has captivated this program. Could they get in the way of each other with the world title on the line?

Becky Lynch will have her first SmackDown Women’s Championship defense at No Mercy. She’ll face No. 1 Contender Alexa Bliss, who won a Fatal Five-way match to earn this opportunity. The former manager of Blake and Murphy has since looked to get in the head of the champion. This includes a successful pinfall on the most recent episode of SmackDown.

Perhaps the match with the most at stake is The Miz vs. Dolph Ziggler for the Intercontinental Championship. However, if Ziggler loses, his career is over.

It’s a match that may be a roller coaster ride. If you’re a fan of The Showoff, you won’t want to see his career end. He hasn’t gone anywhere for the past few months, though. The case can even be made for this for the past two years. So, if Ziggler loses, would it be the worst thing?

The other title match will see Heath Slater and Rhyno defend the SmackDown Tag Team Championship against The Usos. Jimmy and Jey have taken on a new attitude in recent weeks, and are receiving their second title shot since this began. Can they win the titles this time, though?

With this in mind, here’s a look at the match card for No Mercy.
