WWE No Mercy 2023: All Betting Odds And Predicted Winners
The next NXT premium live event is happening this Saturday in Bakersfield, California. It’s called NXT No Mercy.
No Mercy is a WWE event with a rich history, having been used periodically for over 20 years. On September 30, this premium live event makes its NXT debut. NXT has brought back several dormant PLE (Premium Live Event) names from WWE and WCW, with No Mercy now joining the likes of WarGames and The Great American Bash.
This event marks the return of No Mercy to WWE programming since 2017, a show from the distant past where Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins teamed up to defend the Raw Tag Team Championships.
This time the event is grabbing a lot of attention because Becky Lynch and Dominik Mysterio are defending their NXT titles.
Many NXT stars’ futures are uncertain, and No Mercy might provide some answers about what’s next for them in the brand.
Let’s take a look at the match card for No Mercy and make some predictions, along with the betting odds from SportsBetting.ag as of 8:30 a.m. ET on September 28.
KELANI JORDAN VS. BLAIR DAVENPORT (NXT No Mercy Kickoff)
This match is scheduled for the Kick-Off show, as NXT usually features a match on its pre-shows.
Kelani Jordan is now without Dana Brooke by her side due to Dana’s release, which likely disrupted many plans for Kelani.
Kelani decided to face Blair Davenport on the show after Davenport attacked Gigi Dolin in the episode that aired on September 26.
This is a significant match for Jordan, and I expect her to put on a strong performance, but in the end, I believe she will fall short.
There’s a chance Gigi might interfere to cost Blair the match, but I don’t see that happening.
Prediction: Blair Davenport
Betting odds: not available.
BRON BREAKKER VS. BARON CORBIN
This match could go either way, depending on whether Bron Breakker moves up to the main roster soon. Corbin came to NXT to face top stars like Bron. An unpredictable element to consider is Von Wagner, who has been absent from the scene since Bron attacked him with the Steel Steps several weeks ago. If Bron stays, he’ll likely win to build momentum for his match with Wagner. If he leaves, Wagner might interfere, helping Corbin win and setting up a match with Von, which could be Bron’s last in NXT.
Prediction: Baron Corbin
Betting favorite: Bron Breakker (Breakker -200 vs Corbin +150)
NXT HERITAGE CUP – NOAM DAR (C) W/ META FOUR VS. BUTCH W/ TYLER BATE
Butch earned the right to face Noam Dar after winning the NXT Global Heritage Invitational. However, it’s unlikely that a third main roster star will win an NXT title. Butch has Tyler Bate in his corner, but I think the match will end in a draw after all rounds, so Dar retains.
Prediction: Time Limit Draw
Betting favorite: Noam Dar (Dar -300 vs Butch +200)
NXT TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP – TONY D’ANGELO & CHANNING ‘STACKS’ LORENZO (C) VS. THE CREED BROTHERS VS. ANGEL GARZA & HUMBERTO CARRILLO VS. OTM
This four-way match could go in several directions. The Creeds are on a high after winning their jobs back. Angel and Humberto are being repackaged. OTM is new, but they can lose without being pinned. Since Tony and Stacks haven’t defended the belts much, I think they’ll retain them.
Prediction: Tony D’Angelo & Stacks
Betting favorite: Tony D’Angelo & Stacks (D’Angelo & Stacks -180 vs Creed Brothers +275 vs Garza & Carrillo +300 vs OTM +1000)
NXT NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIP – ‘DIRTY’ DOMINIK MYSTERIO (C) VS. TRICK WILLIAMS – SPECIAL REFEREE DRAGON LEE
This match could go either way. Originally, Dominik was supposed to face Mustafa Ali, likely to win. But Trick gained momentum recently, earning this shot. Dragon Lee as the referee provides an out for Dominik to lose without being pinned, setting up a rematch. Trick being the champ also adds an interesting twist.
Prediction: Trick Williams
Betting favorite: Dominik Mysterio (Mysterio -250 vs. Williams +175)
NXT WOMEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP EXTREME RULES MATCH – BECKY LYNCH (C) VS. TIFFANY STRATTON
Becky Lynch’s title win has boosted NXT’s ratings. She’s defending the title against Tiffany Stratton, but I don’t see the title changing hands. Becky has plenty of potential opponents in NXT and on the main roster, so her losing it back wouldn’t make sense.
Prediction: Becky Lynch
Betting favorite: Becky Lynch (Lynch -300 vs. Stratton +200)
NXT CHAMPIONSHIP – CARMELO HAYES (C) VS. ILJA DRAGUNOV
This is a rematch from their fantastic match at the Great American Bash. Hayes won last time, but this rematch suggests a title change. Ilja is ready to be the top face on NXT, and Hayes’ story with Trick Williams will continue. Trick being a champion without Hayes could be a compelling storyline.
Prediction: Ilja Dragunov
Betting favorite: Carmelo Hayes (Hayes -150 vs. Dragunov +110)
The No Mercy pre-show kicks off at 7 p.m. Eastern time on Saturday, followed by the main card at 8 p.m. Eastern. You can catch the show live on Peacock or the WWE Network, depending on your location.
