10 Incredible Matches That Make No Mercy WWE’s Best Ever B-Show

10. AJ Styles Vs. John Cena Vs. Dean Ambrose (2016)

Dean Ambrose looked to be having his last hurrah in SmackDown Live!'s main event scene long before he'd even lost the WWE Title at September 2016's Backlash pay-per-view, but his contributions to a pulsating rematch against new Champion AJ Styles and perennial fly-in star John Cena at the blue brand supercard was a keen reminder of his potential ability at the top level.

Uncharacteristically opening a No Mercy show that ran head-to-head with Donald Trump and Hilary Clinton's second presidential debate, the gripping battle also saw AJ Styles further cement his growing reputation as WWE's ace, outworking both challengers but remaining loyal to his heel persona in an effort to keep his newly-won prize.

Very much the third man, Cena was cast more as a special guest in their rivalry, and was subsequently given a host of near-falls to expertly craft an ilusiory image that he could again claim all the marbles.

It wasn't to be. Though he'd joined Ambrose in forcing 'The Phenomenal One' to tap out with an STF/Calf Crusher, the referee couldn't decipher exactly who was claiming the victory, allowing Styles to recover and cheaply retain after striking 'Big Match John' with a steel chair. A rarity for recent Cena contests, this was a good night for the full-timers.
