The WWF returned to the Alltel Arena in North Little Rock, Arkansas for their annual pay-per-view event, No Mercy. The sold-out crowd of 10,000 was treated to a night filled with action-packed matches and shocking moments.

The match was over in just 4:57 minutes, with Wilson securing the pin and extending her winning streak.
Match Three: Rob Van Dam vs. Ric Flair - Singles Match
RVD's signature move, the Five-Star Frog Splash, proved to be the decisive blow as he defeated the Nature Boy, Ric Flair, in a hard-hitting contest that showcased both men's skills.

Match Four: Jamie Noble vs. Tajiri - WWE Cruiserweight Title Match
The WWE's smallest competitor, Jamie Noble, put his title on the line against the high-flying Tajiri in a match that saw both men trading moves and counters. In the end, it was Noble who emerged victorious, retaining his title with a perfectly executed top-rope corkscrew plancha.
Match Five: Triple H vs. Kane - WWE Intercontinental Title Unification Match
The main event of the evening pitted two of the WWF's most dominant competitors against each other in a battle for the WWE Intercontinental Championship. The Game, Triple H, and the Big Red Machine, Kane, clashed in a brutal and intense match that saw both men trading blows and near falls. In the end, it was Triple H who emerged victorious, unifying the title by pinning Kane in what was undoubtedly one of the most physical matches of the night.

Main Event: Brock Lesnar vs. The Undertaker - WWE Title Hell In A Cell Match
