The element of surprise has largely disappeared in the world of wrestling. Thanks to social media, the rumors begin to fly the moment somebody out of place is spotted at the airport.Thats what makes a shocking return or result so special in the modern era. Whether its something big, like Triple H returning and helping Kevin Owens to win the WWE Universal championship, or something smaller like bringing back an infamous faction like the Spirit Squad to hammer home a point in a feud, the ability to flip the script and keep things feeling fresh is both one of the biggest challenges facing the WWE and one of their greatest weapons.Its also one of the biggest factors driving the interest on SmackDown Live heading into this weekends No Mercy pay-per-view. Sure, logic would seemingly dictate that AJ Styles gets a big win, possibly by nefarious means, and walks away still carrying the top prize. It also makes too much sense for Dolph Ziggler to finally get that big win over The Miz to jump-start his career, and for The Usos to drop a reality check on Heath Slater & Rhyno and take the SmackDown tag team championships.But thats the thing. During the past few weeks of SmackDown Live, enough doubt has settled in that nothing seems for certain. John Cenas seemed incredibly strong, Zigglers tweeting out his booking agents information and reminiscing about the good and bad times on Talking Smack, and Slater, of all people, has reached a point of popularity where hes able to do a run-in to save another babyface team and gets cheered wildly for doing so.SmackDown Live has been undeniably compelling during the past few weeks, in presenting fresh stories and taking chances without taking things to a crazy for crazys sake level.Theyve done a fantastic job building to this pay-per-view card, and one big question remains -- can it live up to the hype?Lets take a look at everything Sundays show has to offer.The Miz (c) vs. Dolph Ziggler: Is this really the end for Dolph Ziggler?In The Mizs dream come true, the Intercontinental championship has become an important focal point of SmackDown Live. Hes to thank for a lot of that, but Ziggler has stepped his game up to an entirely different level on the microphone since his most recent title loss.Despite the Miz getting the better of Ziggler at every turn, defeating him in both of their championship matches, Ziggler is yet to lose straight up. The biggest potential for a surprise seems destined to come in this match, because there are so many potentially believable outcomes. Ziggler could finally overcome his Miz demons and get a win in a big spot by doing it the right way, or he could cut corners, just like the Miz has done recently, in order to save his career.On the other hand, The Miz could cheat one last time to get the best of Ziggler and send him on his way, or he could provide the ultimate embarrassment and end Zigglers WWE career by beating him clean in the middle of the ring, 1-2-3. As long a shot as that last scenario might seem, remember that Ziggler owns a dismal 1-7 in pay-per-view event in 2016 -- the most such losses of any superstar in the company.All that we know for sure, if the previous two matches between Miz and Ziggler and their in-ring confrontations are any indication, is that Sundays ultimate showdown will provide a fitting platform for either the end of Zigglers run in the WWE, or the start of his climb back toward the top.AJ Styles (c) vs. John Cena vs. Dean Ambrose: AJ Styles brings things to another level, and John Cena and Dean Ambrose are right there with himIn wrestling, in any company and at any level, a world title match where all participants look strong and where fans arent quite sure whos going to win is the ultimate success. Thats whats presented in front of us at No Mercy.Champion AJ Styles has pulled off some of the biggest wins of his 18-year wrestling career and has taken hold of the title with the longest lineage and most prestige in the world of wrestling.Cena, back in the title picture after a stint away, looks as poised as ever to crack his two-plus year drought. Hes currently inside the longest window of his career in which he hasnt had a world title since before he won his first world championship in April 2005.Dean Ambrose, whose stock slipped after a subpar SummerSlam match and a tough stretch in the past few months, has also brought his game back up to a similar point to where he was at the night he won the WWE world championship at Money in the Bank.Styles has already defeated both Ambrose and Cena, and Ambrose got a win of his own over Cena on SmackDown a few weeks ago. While youd anticipate a bigger stage for Cena to tie Ric Flairs record of world title reigns, and giving the title right back to Ambrose seems unlikely, nothing seems entirely off the table. We can only hope that the in-ring result is as fiery and enjoyable as the barbs these three traded Tuesday.Heath Slater and Rhyno (c) vs. The Usos: Is it time for The Usos to carry the ball in the SmackDown tag team division?Every sign points to the Usos dispatching the scrappy pairing of Heath Slater & Rhyno at No Mercy, but in a world where Slater can be a tag team champion and one of the most over characters on a show, anything is possible.The tag team division was featured prominently on the go-home episode of this pay-per-view, with Jason Jordan picking up a singles victory over Jey Uso and The Hype Bros getting a win over The Vaudevillains. As good as this run has been for Slater, I think there are more (and better) stories to be told about him either chasing the tag team titles or dealing with the come-down after being a champion.Becky Lynch (c) vs. Alexa Bliss, Carmella vs. Nikki Bella: There are two womens matches, and SmackDown Live has earned itThe Becky Lynch vs. Alexa Bliss showdown for the SmackDown womens championship would be one of the biggest highlights of most brand-specific pay-per-views, but with so much good going on throughout the show, this feud has gone somewhat overlooked.If youre looking for a breakout opportunity and a match that could be a dark horse candidate for one of the most entertaining conflicts Sunday evening, this might be the place to go. Bliss has taken a giant leap forward in working with Lynch and the other women in the division, and as womens champion Lynch is doing exactly what shes supposed to as the anchor of the division.The fact that the show can sustain a second compelling rivalry, the one between Carmella and Nikki Bella, is another big step for womens wrestling in the WWE -- and theyve certainly done more than enough to warrant that match getting a spot of its own on this card.Bray Wyatt and Randy Orton: The biggest question mark of allIve written at length as to why this rivalry has been at times very promising and, at times, incredibly frustrating. Both of these guys need a win to move forward and move on with their careers, but who needs it more?The likely argument here is Wyatt, but that would likely come with another match or two with Orton. This last weeks callback to the promising early days of Wyatts character, itll take a pretty good showing on Sunday to get fans behind things carrying on.The long-awaited debut of Curt HawkinsFact: Theres a good chance he wont even be in a match. Hes the male version of Eva Marie, and the longer he stays out of the ring, the better.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- About 100 people gathered on Tennessees campus Wednesday night and told their favorite personal anecdotes about former Lady Volunteers basketball coach Pat Summitt at a candlelight vigil.The vigil took place at Pat Summitt Plaza, which includes a bronze statue of Summitt and has served as a meeting place for mourners since she died Tuesday morning at age 64.Fans took turns describing their personal connections to Summitt that showed examples of her determination, her empathy and her sense of humor. They sang Rocky Top near the end of the vigil.I have a feeling that right now shes making angels do laps, said Nora Lou Wilson of Knoxville.The dozens of floral arrangements that were at the foot of Summitts statue Tuesday night had doubled in size by the start of Wednesdays vigil.An orange scarf had been placed around her neck. Signs on the concrete wall behind the statue featured hundreds of signatures. A wood carving of the state of Tennessee stood behind the statue and included the message, Now go lead your team in heaven.Alicia Manning, who played for the Tennessee womens basketball team from 2008 to 12 and was part of Summitts last team, said she expected the floral arrangements to continue increasing up until the July 14 ceremony at Thompson-Boling Arena celebrating Summitts life.From now until then its going to keep getting bigger, Manning said. Obviously by then its going to be insane, which it should be. She deserves that.The most emotional story at the vigil came from Becky Evans of Knoxville, who described an encounter her family had with Summitt while her father -- an avid Tennessee fan -- was undergoing quadruple-bypass surgery. Summitt, who was at the hospital because of an injured player, overheard Evans and her mom talking about how much their father would love to meet the coach.ddddddddddddEvans said Summitt stayed with her and her mom for three hours. When Evans father was out of surgery, Summitt went into his hospital room, spent half an hour visiting him and later thanked him for being a Tennessee fan.I just came tonight to honor a great lady of character, Evans said as she looked back at the statue. [I was] 17 years old and scared that your dad was going to die and not knowing, and all alone.This lady took it upon herself to care for two East Tennessee girls and share her love. I just wanted to honor her tonight and tell her, Thank you, Pat. Thank you for caring about us, and thank you for caring about my dad.Some fans used the vigil as an opportunity to promote bringing back the Lady Volunteers nickname for all Tennessee sports and collect signatures to petition that cause. Some speakers campaigned for that while giving their testimonials.In a move that took effect in July 2015, all Tennessee womens sports teams other than the basketball squad started being called the Volunteers rather than the Lady Vols.School officials said the basketball team could continue calling itself the Lady Vols because of the championship legacy established by Summitt.School officials announced in February that the other womens sports teams would wear a commemorative patch on their uniform in 2016-17 to honor the Lady Vols legacy, a move that came after legislators introduced a bill that would have required Tennessee to call all its womens sports teams the Lady Vols. The legislative measure was then withdrawn from consideration.
