Randy Orton vs Bray Wyatt:
Trending
Grade: 6/10
This bout would have been fine for a mid-event match, but the main event? Slower, less hyped and overall worse than both the Intercontinental and World Title matches, this was a poor way to close the show.
Although the match wasn’t bad by any means, as the two men had chemistry, this was a weak choice for the main event no matter how much the Presidential Debate affects viewership. Luke Harper’s return did help save face for the main event to some extent, but it didn’t salvage a poor encounter in comparison to the earlier matches.
If the Intercontinental Championship match and Orton vs Wyatt swapped positions on the card, No Mercy would be considered a better PPV than it has been by fans, as a poor closing bout can sour fans’ opinion on a PPV.
On a positive note, despite it being due to interference, Bray Wyatt finally won a match on PPV! Although I can see Orton getting his win back at Survivor Series, let’s rejoice that Bray Wyatt finally won a PPV singles match for the first time since Battleground 2015, which was coincidentally due to Harper interfering as well.
Overall, despite Bray’s victory and Harper’s return, this was an underwhelming way to close the show, and a main event for the Intercontinental Championship bout would have been much better.
Grade for No Mercy as a Whole: 7.5/10
