"Show Time Power Hour" TV Taping Number 26 (Week 51)

William Regal: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the finest sixty minutes of pro wrestling in the world, the Show Time Power Hour! I'm your host, William Regal. Alongside me is hall of famer Michael Hayes. Michael, we're still in shock over the developments of last week. Adam Cole and Maria Kanellis left 'The Richards Collective' and joined 'The Bullet Club.' Cole stood by while his former  stable mates were pummeled by his new group!"

Michael Hayes: "Jordan Richards groomed that boy for greatness. To have Cole turn his back on him must have felt like a knife in the gut!"

Just then, "The Bullet Club" theme song played to bring out the entire group, men and women, along with Commissioner Scott Hall and the McMahon family. Adam Cole and Maria Kanellis led the charge. Cole had a microphone in hand.

Adam Cole: "Lookey what we have here. it's Adam Cole ("Bay bay!" chant from the crowd)! Maria, we sure do look good in black and white! So, the big question on everyone's minds is, 'Why, oh why, Adam Cole and Maria Kanellis? Why did you turn on 'The Richards Collective' and join 'The Bullet Club?!'' When NWA: Show Time began, Jordan Richards signed 'The Kingdom' as a group. he made sure that I was clearly the star. I won the Heavyweight Championship and proudly defended it longer than any champion of any title in the company! The problem is that Jordan started signing all of those "has beens" and put them in the group. When that happened, Adam Cole got pushed further and further into the background. Then, he hired Eve Torres and basically forgot about Maria! We had all we could stand. Vince McMahon came calling and made us an offer we couldn't refuse! Now, here we are! We are big stars once again! This was a calculated business decision. Sorry, Jordan. Those are the breaks, kid!"

"Ladies and Gentlemen" by Saliva played to bring out the remainder of "The Richards Collective." Jordan Richards had a microphone.

Jordan Richards: "Adam, my boy, you have a lot to learn about this business! Let me set the record straight! When I started this company, I did indeed sign 'The Kingdom' as a group. I saw potential. I saw four young, hungry individuals. What I saw in you was a bit of myself, and I told you so. I set you up to be the best. I handed you the Heavyweight Championship on a silver platter. Then, I surrounded you with the greatest wrestlers of this generation to make sure you kept the title! As for Maria, I have treated you like a queen form day one! I paid you better than Vince McMahon ever did! I have allowed you to blossom as a personality in a way Vince McMahon never did! Lest we forget that he never let you be portrayed as anything other than a stupid bimbo! I made sure that you were never recognized as that in this company! You were the 'first lady' of 'The Kingdom,' and that's how you were treated! You two have made your beds. Now, you're going to have to lie in them! Don't come crawling back to me looking for a job when we run Vinnie Mac out of town!"

Vince McMahon: "All right! That's enough! You keep talking about defeating me. No one has ever defeated Vince McMahon! I can't be stopped 'The Bullet Club' can't be stopped! We have members worldwide and we keep adding new ones! We just picked up these two last week. We got three more from NWA: HAWK right after that! We have members in DFW and a group of originals are in Wild West! We're everywhere! We are going to take over the world!"

Richards: "Vince, calm down before you pop a blood vessel! You're more delusional than I thought! If you think that you're going to take over what the NWA has built into a worldwide phenomenon, you have another thing coming! In fact, you're not even going to run NWA: Show Time. We take our company back, starting tonight! I have negotiated with the TBS network for an overrun tonight, because we're going to have four matches on this program, and three of them will be for Show Time Championships!"

Scott hall: "Hey, yo! You can't put us on no notice for three title defenses!"

Richards: "I can and I have! The matches were all signed this afternoon! If you'd bother coming to the office, you'd know that! Turn about is fair play. You've gone behind my back for months! Now, it's time to get a taste of your own medicine! So, Claudio Castagnoli will defend the Mid-Atlantic Championship against Dean Ambrose! 'Guerillas of Destiny' will defend the Tag team Championship against Mikael Judas and Jason Justice! Kevin Steen will defend the Heavyweight Championship against TV Champion Ricochet! In the main event, the NWA World Champion, Brock Lesnar, The Rock, and Randy Orton will take on Bad Luck Fale, Adam Cole, and Idol Stevens! To top it all off, there will be no outside entourage for any match! Everyone is banned from ringside except the participants and the referee! If any members of affiliate of 'The Bullet Club' so much as pokes his or her head out of the entranceway during one of the title matches, the bout is stopped immediately and the championship will be awarded to the challenger right then and there!"

Hall: "That's bogus! You can't force us into that!"

Richards: "Actually, I own the company. I can do anything I want, 'Bad Guy!'"

Hall: "Well, I am assigning Summer Rae as the official referee of all matches involving 'Bullet Club' members from now on! Deal with that!"

(A backstage shot of Summer Rae was shown. She was wearing a new referee's shirt with the "too sweet" hand signal embroidered on it)

Richards: "Yeah, yeah, yeah. You went behind my back and had her contract re-worked so that she could not be suspended or terminated. I found out about that a few days ago. I figured you were going in that direction, so I am assigning Senior Official Nick Patrick as the second referee for every match. He will keep Summer in line! By the way, the Mid-Atlantic Title is on the line next, so every one of you had better get to stepping!"

Regal: "Oh my! What a blockbuster night of action is in store! Let's get right to the first contest!"

Match One ~ NWA: Show Time Mid-Atlantic Championship ~ Claudio Castagnoli vs. Dean Ambrose

It was almost surreal to see a "Bullet Club" match without the array of "Bullet Club" members stalking ringside. Referee Summer Rae made her presence felt immediately. Ambrose went for "Dirty Deeds." Castagnoli locked his foot into the bottom rope, which caused Ambrose to crash to the canvas hard on the back of his head. Castagnoli executed a "Jackknife" cover. Rae "inadvertently" poked Patrick in the eye, then raced over and performed a lightning-fast count. Ambrose appeared to have kicked just as Rae's hand slapped the mat for three.

Winner and STILL NWA: Show Time Mid-Atlantic Champion ~ Claudio Castagnoli by pinfall in 3:36

Ambrose stomped on Claudio after the match, then gave chase to Rae, who hid behind an unhappy Patrick. Ambrose sulked off after Castagnoli, who had grabbed his belt and hightailed it to the back.

Regal: "That was a travesty!"

Hayes: "What do you expect?! Summer Rae is a hired hand of 'The Bullet Club!'"

Regal: "Hopefully, Nick Patrick will be able to balance her out for the remainder of the program. Fans, we'll be back with our next match in just a moment!"

Regal: "We're back! We understand the Tag Team Championship will be up for grabs in the next bout! Let's get to it!"

Match Two ~ NWA: Show Time Tag Team Championship ~ "Guerillas of Destiny"--Tama Tonga & Tonga Loa vs. "Priest of Punishment" Mikael Judas & "Ticking Time Bomb" Jason Justice

Referee Summer Rae attempted her fast counts several times during the match. Referee Nick Patrick kept her in check, for the most part. Tonga and Loa punished Justice for several minutes. Justice kept fighting, but was becoming exhausted. he finally made the tag to Judas, and all heck broke loose. The end came when Patrick and Rae were arguing on the floor. Judas dropped Loa with "El Crucifejo." Patrick saw this and side-stepped Rae, sliding into the ring quickly to make the pin count. Rae tripped on the way in and was unable to impede him.

Winners and NEW NWA: Show Time Tag Team Champions = Mikael Judas and Jason Justice by pinfall in 11:23

Regal: "We got another title back! Judas and Justice have prevailed!"

Hayes: "Chalk one up for the good guys!"

Regal: "Indeed! Fans, we'll be back for the Heavyweight Championship match in moments! Stay with us!"

Regal: "We are back with great anticipation, as new Television Champion Ricochet gets his first crack at the Heavyweight Championship! Let's go back to the ring!"

Match Three ~ NWA: Show Time Heavyweight Championship ~ Kevin Steen vs. Ricochet (Television Champion)

Steen would only agree to the match if it was contested under "No Disqualification" rules, to which Ricochet readily agreed. Ricochet immediately went to work, hitting his high-octane, high-risk offense. Steen was reeling. It took him a while to get his feet underneath hit. Kevin finally took over after he ducked an attempted "Springboard 450 Splash" to the outside. Steen took the action to Ricochet, grinding the pace to a screeching halt and grounding the speedy challenger. Steen went for the "Package Piledriver," but Ricochet blocked it and hit a thudding kick to Steen's skull. he then went to the ropes and hit his breathtaking "630 Splash." Steen was ripe for the picking and Ricochet made the cover. Rae refused to count, so Patrick slid in and began to pound the mat. Just before he hit for the third time, the lights went out. When they came back on, "The Man That Gravity Forgot" Adrian Neville was standing in center ring. The crowd went ballistic, at first. Then, Neville attacked Ricochet and the crowd began to boo profusely. Neville hit the "Red Arrow" and dragged Steen on top of Ricochet. Summer Rae was all too eager to count the quick pinfall.

Winner and STILL NWA: Show Time Heavyweight Champion ~ Kevin Steen by pinfall in 22:08

Neville gave Summer Rae the "too sweet" hand gesture before sauntering backstage.

Regal: "Are you kidding me?!"

Hayes: "Good Lord! Another one?!"

Regal: "Fans, we have to take a break. we'll be back in a moment."

Regal: "We're back from the break and the crowd is still in stunned silence over the appearance of Adrian Neville, who attacked Ricochet and cost him the Heavyweight Championship. Apparently, he's joined 'The Bullet Club' as well. It's time for the main event of the evening. So, let's head back to the ring!"

Match Four ~ "The Richards Collective"--"The Beast" Brock Lesnar, The Rock, & "The Viper" Randy Orton vs. "The Bullet Club"--"Under Boss" Bad Luck Fale, Adam Cole, & Idol Stevens

This match needed two referees even if one of them wasn't Summer Rae. This was a war. It began as a brawl and ended as a brawl. Eventually, "The Bullet Club" cleared the locker room and caused a melee at ringside. The Show Time locker room cleared as well. It looked like a gang war by the time the dust settled.

Winners = "The Richards Collective" by disqualification in 13:54

Regal: "This has broken down in a hurry! It's a circus out here!"

Hayes: "We've got a fifteen-car pile-up on I-85!"

Regal: "Fans, this war has no end in sight! Look at them go! We'll stay with the action as the credits roll, but we are out of time. For Michael Hayes, I'm William regal! Ta ta for now!"

As promised, fans could see the fight continue while show credits rolled. Eventually, the screen faded to black, with the battle still going.
