WWE No Mercy 2016: Winners and Losers
By Tom Thomas
Now that WWE No Mercy is over, who are winners and losers from SmackDown’s second exclusive PPV?
No Mercy promised to deliver some serious action. To an extent, the PPV did just that. Though there were some questionable instances of booking, the show was solid over all. WWE threw its share of curve balls at the fans by having the world title match start the action. This was one of the best bouts of the year and the ending was just perfect.
The women’s title match being called off was underwhelming. What disappointing even more was how creative handled SmackDown’s Harley Quinn, Alexa Bliss. Carmella also showed flashes of being an excellent heel in the other women’s match. Orton and Wyatt tested the patience of fans in a slow match, and had Luke Harper interfere in the finish.
Heath Slater proved he can do more than to just be a punching bag until Rhyno saves him. Dolph Ziggler also showed the WWE Universe he still had much to do before hanging up his boots, and was one of the best feel-good moments of the year. Elsewhere, Baron Corbin absolutely destroyed Swagger and looked good doing it.
Now that the PPV extravaganza is over, though, it is time to dissect the ups and downs, and separate the winners from the losers.
