"Show Time Power Hour" TV Taping Number 27 (Week 53)

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. With me is hall of famer Michael Hayes! Michael, our big one year anniversary program last week was phenomenal, with the debuts of CM Punk and AJ Lee!"

Michael Hayes: "It was off the hook! Punk and AJ showing up was a watershed moment for this company! With their help, along with Lesnar, Rock, Cena, Orton, Ricochet, and a host of others, I think the tide is turning in our favor! I think we've got McMahon and 'The Bullet Club' running scared now!"

Regal: "I certainly hope so! Fans, we have a whale of an episode lined up this week, so let's get straight to it!"

Match One ~ "Axis of Evil"--Miroslav Barnyashev & Sheamus with Lana vs. "Wrestling's Greatest Tag Team"--Shelton Benjamin & Charlie Haas

"WGTT" dominated the action, but came up short in a bizarre twist. "Meiyu Tag," which consists of heavy hitters Hirooki Goto and Katsuyori Shibata, interfered on behalf of "Axis of Evil." This caused Benjamin to fall victim to a "Brogue Kick" from Sheamus for the win.

Winners = "Axis of Evil" by pinfall in 8:27

"Meiyu Tag" celebrated with Lana and company, apparently consummating their membership in the villainous stable.

Regal: "What a surprising turn of events! 'Meiyu Tag' has always stood alone as a tandem. It appears that they have aligned themselves with Miroslav, Sheamus, and Lana."

Hayes: "I don't know, but I think I'd probably accept an offer to hang out with Lana too!"

Regal: "Indeed, sunshine!"

As Benjamin and Haas regrouped, manager Veda Scott came to the ring. She presented them with a manila envelope. They opened it, looked surprised, then smiled and walked out with Scott.

Regal: "What the heck was that all about?"

Hayes: "I don't know, but Haas and Benjamin looked intrigued. Then, they walked out with Veda. Maybe they're her newest clients!"

Regal: That remains to be seen. Fans, we'll be back after a quick commercial break."

As soon as the broadcast came back from commercial, "No Chance in Hell" was playing, with the McMahon family, Commissioner Scott Hall, and the entire "Bullet Club" in the ring.

Vince McMahon: "CM Punk, you and your psychotic wife get out here right now!"

CM Punk's music hit to bring out he and wife AJ Lee.

CM Punk: "Well, well, well. Look who grew some balls and called me out. Vinnie Mac! I'm proud of you!"

McMahon: "Everyone knows I have the biggest grapefruits in the world!"

Punk: "You keep telling yourself that, old man! By the way, if you insult my wife like that again, she's going to smack you in the mouth and I'm going to laugh while she does it!"

McMahon: "I hope she tries! She'll never lay a hand on me. My guys would be all over both of you before you could even get near me! They are at my command!"

Punk: "You think you own the world, don't you Vince? You think that money buys you power! You have no power, and you want to know why? Because, if the money ran out tomorrow, none of these people, your beloved family included, would stick around! They're only doing you bidding until the checks start bouncing, which will be very soon, if I have my way about it!"

McMahon: "Your way, huh?! That's why I never liked you! You're an entitled brat! You got ticked off because everything didn't go your way. So, you took your ball and went home!"

Punk: "Whatever! The world knows that you like to think that everyone fits in the palm of your hand! Well, I never did! I wasn't a lapdog like your son-in-law over there, and you couldn't stand it!"

Triple H stepped up and got into Punk's face.

Triple H: "You want a piece of me?!"

Punk: "No. I don't want a piece of Triple H. I want the whole freakin' thing!"

Triple H: "Let's go!"

"Ladies and Gentlemen" by Saliva hit to bring out CEO Jordan Richards and the rest of "The Richards Collective."

Jordan Richards: "I had another match signed for the main event, but now, I'm reversing course here. Our main event tonight will feature Triple H taking on CM Punk. Just to make it even more interesting, I'll make it a 'Last man Standing' match, so I don't have to worry about how slow Summer Rae counts the three! Oh yeah, AJ Lee and Stephanie McMahon will be handcuffed together at ringside and I'll have the key. Carry on, Punk! You've got this!"

Punk: "It looks like it's clobberin' time!"

Regal: "That is a pay-per-view worthy main event. Two former multi-time World Champions facing off in a 'Last man Standing' match, with their wives cuffed together!"

Hayes: "That's going to be an epic match!"

Regal: "Fans, let's go to the ring for a match featuring the Tag Team Champions!"

Match Two ~ Non-title ~ NWA: Show Time Tag Team Champions "Priest of Punishment" Mikael Judas & "Ticking Time Bomb" Jason Justice vs. "The Realest Guys in the Room"--Enzo Amore & Colin Cassady with Carmella

Amore and Cassady were game opponents, but Judas and Justice were buzz saws in this one. They tore through the competition. Justice hit the "Psycho Slam" to take out Cassady, while Judas launched Amore with "El Crucifejo" for the victory.

Winners = Mike Judas & Jason Justice by pinfall in 5:13

Regal :"Our champions are impressive!"

Hayes: "I don't think 'The Bullet Club' has a prayer of winning those titles back!"

Regal: "All right! Fans, we have to go to break. When we return, Triple H and CM Punk will do battle! Stay with us!"

Regal: "We're back and here we go!"

Match Three ~ "Last Man Standing" match ~ Stephanie and AJ will be handcuffed together ~ CM Punk with AJ Lee vs. Triple H with Stephanie and Vince McMahon {Referee Summer Rae}

This was a war of mythic proportions. These two threw everything but the kitchen sink at each other. Triple H hit the "Pedigree" on two different occasions. Punk made it to his feet before ten both times, even though Referee Rae sped up her cadence every time he was knocked down. Triple H absorbed a "GTS" and an elbow drop through a table without being counted out, although he had a much longer ten-count than did Punk. It looked like Punk had Triple H dead to rights, when "The Bullet Club" showed up and attacked. This brought out the rest of "The Richards Collective" in an effort to even the odds. AJ knocked Stephanie for a loop, then snuck a kick in to the back of Referee Rae's head. Referee Charles Robinson ran down to ringside just as Punk leveled Triple H with a chair shot, then executed two running knee strikes in the corner. Punk finally hoisted Triple H up for another thunderous "GTS." Ten seconds later, it was over.

Winner = CM Punk in 35:19

Richards unlocked AJ and she celebrated with Punk in the ring.

Regal: "What a fight! I thought it might never end! Punk emerged the victor in devastating fashion!"

Hayes: "CM Punk proved he is the best in the world after that match against a fourteen-time World Champion!

Regal: "This war is beginning to favor the good guys! We have to keep up this momentum! Fans, join us next Tuesday on TBS for another exciting edition of the Show Time Power Hour! For Michael Hayes, I'm William Regal, saying, ta ta for now!"
