Background

The card consists of matches which result from scripted storylines and had results predetermined by WWE on their SmackDown brand, one of WWE's brand divisions.[3][4] Storylines between the characters are produced on WWE's weekly television show SmackDown Live.[5]

At SummerSlam, AJ Styles defeated John Cena.[6] Styles went on to win the WWE World Championship at Backlash, when he defeated Dean Ambrose after a low blow and a Styles Clash.[7] Two days later on SmackDown, Cena demanded a rematch against Styles in an attempt to become a 16-time world champion, thus equalizing the world title record set by Ric Flair, while Ambrose invoked his rematch clause against Styles. SmackDown commissioner Shane McMahon scheduled a triple threat match between Styles, Cena, and Ambrose for the title at No Mercy. Later that night, Ambrose and Cena defeated Styles and Intercontinental Champion The Miz. Afterwards, Ambrose attacked Cena with Dirty Deeds.[8] The following week, Ambrose defeated Cena with a roll-up. After the match, Styles attacked Cena and Ambrose, which prompted SmackDown general manager Daniel Bryan to schedule Styles to defend his world title against Ambrose on the September 27 episode of SmackDown. Ambrose then attacked Styles with Dirty Deeds.[9] On the September 27 episode of SmackDown, Styles retained the title against Ambrose. After the match, Cena attacked Ambrose and Styles with Attitude Adjustments.[10]

At Backlash, Becky Lynch defeated Alexa Bliss, Carmella, Naomi, Natalya, and Nikki Bella in a six-pack elimination challenge to become the inaugural SmackDown Women's Champion.[7] On the September 13 episode of SmackDown, Alexa Bliss won a fatal five-way match by defeating Carmella, Nikki Bella, Natalya, and Naomi to receive a title opportunity against Lynch at No Mercy.[8] The following week, Alexa attacked Becky during their contract signing.[9]

At Backlash, Heath Slater and Rhyno defeated The Usos in a tag team tournament final to become the inaugural SmackDown Tag Team Champions, earning Slater a SmackDown contract in the process.[7] On the September 20 episode of SmackDown, The Usos defeated American Alpha to earn a rematch against Slater and Rhyno for the titles at No Mercy.[9]

At Backlash, The Miz defeated Dolph Ziggler to retain the Intercontinental Championship when Maryse sprayed something in Ziggler's face while the referee was distracted.[7] Two weeks later, Miz again defeated Ziggler in a title match after Miz again sprayed something in Ziggler's face.[9] The following week, Ziggler put his career on the line if Miz gave him one more title shot; The Miz accepted the challenge.[10]

At Backlash, Bray Wyatt attacked Randy Orton backstage, leaving him unfit to compete and winning their match by forfeit.[7] In the following weeks, the two continued to taunt each other. On September 28, a match between the two was scheduled for No Mercy.[11]
