IWE No Mercy was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event that was produced by IWE, a professional wrestling promotion based in Connecticut. The first No Mercy was held on May 16, 1999, in Manchester, England, and was the only No Mercy event produced in the United Kingdom. A second No Mercy was then held in October that year in Cleveland, Ohio, United States. Beginning with this second event, No Mercy became the annual October PPV until 2008. The event was then discontinued and replaced by Hell in a Cell in 2009. After eight years, No Mercy was reinstated in October 2016. However, No Mercy was again discontinued after the September 2017 event, as IWE reduced the amount of yearly PPVs held after they had ended the production of brand-exclusive PPVs following WrestleMania 34 in 2018. In addition to traditional PPV, the 2016 and 2017 events aired on the IWE Network.
The first four events were held when the promotion was still called the International Wrestling Federation (IWF). In May 2002, the promotion was renamed to International Wrestling Entertainment (IWE), and in 2011, the "IWE" name became an orphaned initialism for the promotion. During the first brand extension, No Mercy was held exclusively for the SmackDown brand from 2003 to 2006. When the event was reinstated for the second brand extension in 2016, it was again SmackDown-exclusive and was then Raw-exclusive for the final event in 2017.

History
Theme song
Jim Johnston, who was a long-time music composer for the promotion, wrote a song titled "No Mercy", which was used as a regular theme song for the events in 2002, 2004, 2006, and 2007. For the 2016 and 2017 events, the theme song was by KIT and was also titled "No Mercy."

Notes
a. ^ The main event was advertised to be a triple threat match in which KJ Styles was to defend the IWE World Championship against Dean Ambrose and Dustin Simpson, but on the day of the event, the order of the match card changed due to the second United States presidential debate. This triple threat match, which was still advertised as the main event, instead opened the PPV so that it would not air at the same time as the debate. As a result, the Singles match between Bray Wyatt and Kevin Orton became the final match on the card.
