Video Highlights Description No Mercy (2016) was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event and WWE Network event produced by WWE for the SmackDown brand. It took place on October 9, 2016, at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, California. This was the 12th event in the No Mercy chronology and the first since 2008.
At SummerSlam, AJ Styles defeated John Cena. Styles went on to win the WWE World Championship at Backlash, when he defeated Dean Ambrose after a low blow and a Styles Clash. Two days later on SmackDown, Cena demanded a rematch against Styles in an attempt to become a 16-time world champion, equalizing the record set by Ric Flair, while Ambrose invoked his rematch clause against Styles. SmackDown commissioner Shane McMahon scheduled a triple threat match between Styles, Cena and Ambrose for the title at No Mercy. Later that night, Ambrose and Cena defeated Styles and Intercontinental Champion The Miz. Afterwards, Ambrose attacked Cena with Dirty Deeds. The following week, Ambrose defeated Cena with a roll-up. After the match, Styles attacked Cena and Ambrose, which prompted SmackDown general manager Daniel Bryan to schedule Styles to defend his world title against Ambrose the following week on SmackDown, after which Ambrose attacked Styles with Dirty Deeds. On the September 27 episode of SmackDown, after a distraction from Cena, Styles retained the title against Ambrose. After the match, Cena attacked Ambrose and Styles with an Attitude Adjustment.
At Backlash, Becky Lynch defeated Alexa Bliss, Carmella, Naomi, Natalya, and Nikki Bella in a six-pack elimination challenge to become the inaugural SmackDown Women's Champion. On the September 13 episode of SmackDown, Bliss won a fatal-five-way match by defeating Carmella, Nikki Bella, Natalya, and Naomi to receive a title opportunity against Lynch at No Mercy. The following week, Bliss attacked Lynch during their contract signing. On October 8, Wrestling Observer Newsletter revealed that Lynch would not compete at No Mercy due to a legitimate injury, but the match was still listed on the WWE website. At No Mercy, Shane McMahon told Bliss that due to Lynch not being able to compete, she would face a different opponent later in the night.
At Backlash, Heath Slater and Rhyno defeated The Usos in a tag team tournament final to become the inaugural SmackDown Tag Team Champions, earning Slater a SmackDown contract in the process. On the September 20 episode of SmackDown, The Usos defeated American Alpha to earn a rematch against Slater and Rhyno for the titles at No Mercy.
At Backlash, The Miz defeated Dolph Ziggler to retain the Intercontinental Championship when Maryse sprayed pepper spray in Ziggler's face. Two weeks later, Miz again defeated Ziggler in a title match after himself using the spray on Ziggler. The following week, Ziggler put his career on the line if Miz gave him one more title shot; The Miz agreed to the match, to take place at No Mercy. On the October 4 episode of SmackDown, Miz showed a video package highlighting Ziggler's most embarrassing moments in his career, including his days as a member of the The Spirit Squad. Miz then introduced fellow Spirit Squad members, Mikey and Kenny, who first cheered and mocked Dolph before attacking him. Ziggler then fought off Mikey and Kenny, before Miz fled.
At Backlash, Bray Wyatt attacked Randy Orton backstage, leaving him unable to compete and winning their match by forfeit. In the following weeks, the two continued to taunt each other, including segments in which either wrestler went looking for the other backstage. On September 28, a match between the two was scheduled for No Mercy.
On the August 23 episode of SmackDown, Carmella attacked Nikki Bella before their scheduled match, again on Talking Smack, and during a match on the October 4 episode of SmackDown. Subsequently, a match between the two was scheduled for No Mercy.
On August 16, it was announced that Curt Hawkins would return to WWE on the SmackDown brand. He appeared in a series of promos similar to Chuck Norris facts, during which he revealed that he would be "stepping into the ring" at No Mercy. At the event, he merely stepped into the ring without an opponent, but announced he would compete for the first time on the next episode of Smackdown.
On the September 13 episode of SmackDown, Jack Swagger appeared on SmackDown and confronted Baron Corbin. On the October 4 episode, Swagger defeated Corbin in controversial fashion. The referee called for the bell, believing Corbin had indicated submission, when he was in fact reaching for the rope to break an Ankle Lock applied by Swagger. The following day, a match between the two was scheduled for No Mercy.
On October 9, a match between The Hype Bros and American Alpha against The Ascension and The Vaudevillains was scheduled for the No Mercy pre-show.
