This rivalry is going on since the return of Nikki, after her injury.

At last Maryse interferred in the match, sprayed Ziggler in the face, which allowed Miz to hit the Skull Crushing Finale but Dolph kicked out from the pin. He is not ready to give up today at any cost.

Maryse called out The Spirit Squad to help her husband. Dolph welcomed Mickey with the Superkick, but this again allowed The Miz to hit Skull Crushing Finale on him. Ziggler kicked out of this cover as well.

Refree ejected Maryse and the Spirit Squad back to locker room. Now Ziggler took advantage of the situation and nailed Superkick to pick up the victory.

With this win Dolph Ziggler saved his career and became the five time Intercontinental Champion.

Injury to Smack Down Women’s Champion Becky Lynch made her medically unfit to defend her title against Alexa Bliss.

So, Naomi was given a chance to prove her worth against the number one contender.

WWE Universe chanted “We want Becky” during the match. The Harley Quinn of WWE locked her opponent in the cross-arm breaker but out of nowhere Naomi pinned her for the win.

The main event was for the WWE World Championship.

Dean locked AJ in the Knee Bar, Cena joined him and locked the STF. As expected Styles tapped out but who is the champion now? This is the controversial moment of the match.

Though the match continued and Cena hit Ambrose with the Avalanche Attitude Adjustment from the top of the ring. Did the cenation leader made history?

Wait a minute...
Did @AJStylesOrg just tap out to both the #CalfCrusher AND the #STF at the same time?! #WWENoMercy pic.twitter.com/6BxQNBgywN — WWE (@WWE) October 10, 2016

No, Styles came in the ring with a stell chair and hit John two times in the gut and to pick up the victory.
