No Mercy is the latest Raw-exclusive pay per view event. WWE is putting on a show with seven matches on the main card. Five of those seven matches will be championship contests.
No Mercy this year is highlighted by a pair of main events. Both are billed as “WrestleMania-caliber” matches. In the first, Brock Lesnar defends his Universal Championship. His opponent? Perhaps the most dominant superstar in WWE since Lesnar himself – Braun Strowman. Over the past several weeks, Strowman proved that his nickname “The Monster Among Men” wasn’t earned lightly. He’s put Lesnar through the ringer. But can he do it when the title is on the line?
In the second main event, John Cena will do battle with Roman Reigns in a battle of icons. Reigns claims that WWE is his yard now, and a part timer like John Cena should step aside. Cena, however, is of the opinion that Reigns is not as good as he thinks he is. Cena wants to teach the young up and comer a lesson. The two have waged a war of words for weeks, trying to get under each others skins. So who will leave No Mercy victorious?
The undercard of the show is nothing to sneeze at, either. A fatal five way match for the Raw Women’s Championship is on tap. Alexa Bliss has to contend with Nia Jax, Emma, Sasha Banks, and the recently returned Bayley to retain her title. Plus, The Miz will defend the Intercontinental Championship against Jason Jordan.

And in non-title action, Bray Wyatt takes on Finn Balor in a “man vs. man” match – no demons allowed.
