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 my hall of fame co-host, Michael Hayes! Michael, we have some awesome action ahead of us tonight!"
Michael Hayes: "You got it! Ricochet defends the Cruiserweight Championship! Adam Cole defends the Television Championship! And, 'The Revival' defend the Tag Team Championship! where else will you see every scheduled match be for a title?! Nowhere!"
Regal: "Right! Fans, we'll see all of that and more, so let's go to the ring!"
Match One ~ NWA: Show Time Cruiserweight Championship ~ "King of the Cruiserweights" Ricochet with "La Reine" Maryse Ouellet vs. Tony Nese
This was a very crisp, precise match. both men were on their A-game. Nese seemed to relish the opportunity to show why he has called himself "The Premier Athlete" against arguably the most athletic wrestler on earth. The fans were drawn in as the two exchanged strikes, holds, and counters.
Ultimately, the match came down to the outside presence of the lovely Maryse Ouellet. Nese had the upper hand, but became distracted when Ouellet jumped onto the apron and began to execute a sultry dance. Tony fell into the trap. Ricochet recovered to hit a "Meteora," followed by the "Benadryller" for the win.

Regal: "What a fine match!"
Hayes: "What a fine woman!"
Regal: "Indeed. Maryse proved to be the difference in this one. A king is nothing without his queen."
Hayes: "I've had the same one for years, believe it or not!"
Regal: "On that note, we'll take a break."
Regal: "Fans, we're back! Before we go to the Tag Team Championship match, Joanna Rose is with the Champions, 'The Revival.' Joanna?"
Joanna Rose: "I'm here with Tag Team Champions Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson, collectively known as 'The Revival' and members of 'The Power Trip.' Gentlemen, you've been scheduled for a title defense, but I understand you do not know who your opponents are?"
Scott Dawson: "Yeah, and we're pissed off about it too!"
Dash Wilder: "Commissioner Ric Flair is trying to steal these titles away from the 'top guys,' but we're not going to let it happen! It doesn't matter who we take on, we're the best tag team of all time! No one can hang with us in that ring!"
Dawson: "So, whoever you want to get--'Arn and Tully, 'The Rock-n-Roll Express,' 'Midnight Express,' U.S. Express,' it doesn't matter! They can't beat us! We will hold these titles for as long as we see fit!"
Rose: "So, you're not at all concerned as to who you might face?"
Wilder: "Why would we be?! Now, we know that Flair is trying to jerk us around. But, we could care less who stands across the ring from us! Line them up and we'll knock them all down!"
Steve Austin: "And, that's the bottom line..."
Rose: "Good luck gentlemen. Back to you, William."
Regal: "Interesting comments from our champions, who are supremely confident, as always."
"The Revival" came to the ring with 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin en tow.
Austin: "All right, Flair. Who's it gonna be?!"
Commissioner Ric Flair came out to a thunderous applause.
Ric Flair: "Woooooooo! Well, Steve, I'm glad you asked! Because the opponents for Dash and Dawson are a team they're familiar with that has beaten them in the past."
Flair turned toward the tron, where this entrance played:

Match Three ~ NWA: Show Time Television Championship ~ Adam Cole with Maria Kanellis vs. Kevin Steen with Lisa Varon
This one-on-one rematch had fans salivating. These two have never disappointed in the ring.

A short time later, Steen caught Cole between the ropes and planted him with a "Spike DDT."
