No Mercy was first held by the American
professional wrestling promotion
WWE as a United Kingdom-exclusive
pay-per-view (PPV) event in May 1999.[1] A second
No Mercy was then held later that same year in October, but in the United States, which established
No Mercy as the annual October PPV for the promotion until 2008.[2] No Mercy was discontinued in 2009, but it was reinstated in October 2016 following the reintroduction of the
brand extension, which brought back brand-exclusive PPVs.[3] Following
WrestleMania 34 in April 2018, however, No Mercy was again discontinued as WWE ended brand-exclusive PPVs, resulting in the reduction of yearly PPVs produced.[4]
In 2023, WWE revived
No Mercy to be held in September as
livestreaming event for their
developmental brand,
NXT.[5] On July 9, 2024, it was announced that the second No Mercy under the NXT banner, and 15th overall, would be held on Sunday, September 1, 2024, in
Denver,
Colorado[6] at the
Ball Arena, thus establishing No Mercy as an annual September event for NXT.[7][8]
Storylines
The event will comprise matches that resulted from scripted storylines. Results are predetermined by WWE's writers on the NXT brand, while storylines are produced on WWE's weekly television program, NXT, and the supplementary online streaming show, Level Up.[9][10]
