Just like Backlash, WWE brought back No Mercy to become a brand-exclusive pay-per-view. It was a SmackDown event in 2016 and was shifted over to RAW in 2017. However, it hasn't returned since. Much like Vengeance and Payback, No Mercy should return as a part of a WWE reshuffle in the final months of the year.

Both modern editions of No Mercy were decent, with some excellent matches on display. The 2016 event opened with a marquee triple threat for the WWE Championship between AJ Styles, John Cena, and Dean Ambrose. Luke Harper returned in the main event to help Bray Wyatt defeat Randy Orton.

However, the night's standout moment was Dolph Ziggler winning the Intercontinental Championship in a 'Career vs. Title' match against The Miz. It was an excellent match, flanked by a brilliant story. One year later, stealing the show were Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose, as they defeated The Bar in a tag team title match.

No Mercy 2017 was main-evented by a disappointing Universal title match between Brock Lesnar and Braun Strowman, while John Cena faced Roman Reigns in a mega-match as well. Reigns defeated Cena after over 20 minutes of action, cementing himself as WWE's biggest full-time star.
