WWE To Bring Back Another Pay-Per-View Name

WWE

WWE appears to be set to bring back another previous pay-per-view name for an upcoming NXT premium live event.

The company has previously used various former pay-per-view names for NXT specials, with the likes of Halloween Havoc and the Great American Bash becoming regular fixtures for the developmental brand.

More recently, NXT revived the ‘Battleground’ event name for the May 28 show.

Shawn Michaels confirmed the return of the name No Mercy for an NXT premium live event on September 30 during Thursday’s (July 27) media call, with the event set to take place at the Mechanic Banks Arena in Bakersfield, CA.

WWE has since shared the following statement on the event, revealing that tickets will go on sale on August 4:
