"Show Time Power Hour" TV Taping Number 88 (Week 175)

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 are Mauro Ranallo and Jim Cornette! We are five days away from Halloween Havoc, and tonight's program will play right into that event, as our main event will feature Brock Lesnar and Bray Wyatt!"

Mauro Ranallo: "Momma Mia, what a main event we'll see when Brock Lesnar teams with The Rock for a tag team match against Bray Wyatt and Erick Rowan!"

Jim Cornette: "I fully expect that to be a war!"

Regal: "Also, we'll have a return match from last week! Due to his victory in what originally was sanctioned as a title match and then was changed to a non-title match by Commissioner Ric Flair, the NWA has ruled that the Mid-Atlantic Championship must be on the line tonight when Kota Ibushi battles Ricochet! In fact, that match will be up first in this all-star broadcast! Let's go to the ring!"

Match One ~ NWA: Show Time Mid-Atlantic Championship ~ "The One & Only" Ricochet with AJ Lee vs. Kota Ibushi

This match was more phenomenal than the first. Both men laid it all out on the line. AJ Lee made herself useful by providing distraction and interference against Ibushi, which really threw him off his game a couple of times. These occasions allowed Ricochet to exploit Ibushi's defenses and take over . Ibushi hit a "Phoenix Plex" out of nowhere after Ricochet attempted a "Running Hurricanrana." It looked like Ibushi had the pin, but Lee pulled the referee out of the ring. Realizing the magnitude of the moment, he chose to banish Lee from ringside rather than disqualify the champion. The crowd erupted as the referee sent Lee to the back. Kota went for more offense, but Ricochet raked his eyes, giving himself a momentary opening. Ricochet hit the "Benadryller." Ibushi miraculously kicked out at two. Ricochet was stunned. He went to the top to attempt his coup de grace, the "630 Splash." Ibushi moved out of the way and Ricochet crashed back first to the canvas. When he got up, Ibushi nailed him with "Brain Damage." Ricochet was done for.

Winner and NEW NWA: Show Time Mid-Atlantic Champion = Kota Ibushi by pinfall in 22:19

Regal: "Kota Ibushi has done what should have been done last week--captured the Mid-Atlantic Championship!"

Ranallo: "What a performance by one of the best wrestlers on planet earth!"

Cornette: "That was a great match, for the most part. I could have done without all the flippity-dippity, but a great showing for Kota Ibushi, who beat a world class wrestler in Ricochet two weeks straight!"

Regal: "Fans, let's take a break! When we return, we'll a special rundown of Halloween Havoc, followed by our huge tag team main event!"

Regal: "Fans, we're back! Let's take an in depth look at Halloween Havoc and the rundown of matches!"

A special video aired that was produced by the NWA, chronicling the match list for Halloween Havoc IV. The World Championship matches were featured, but the promotional specific matches were given time as well.

Regal: "So, we see that Halloween Havoc is going to be a fantastic event up and down the card. Fans, we'll take another break and be back with the main event! Stay with us!"

Regal: "We're back! As you know, Halloween Havoc will feature a 'House of Horrors' match for the Heavyweight Championship between Bray Wyatt and Brock Lesnar! Well tonight, we'll get a small preview of that in the main event, as Brock teams with The Rock to form a hall of fame worthy team against Bray Wyatt and the behemoth known as 'Lost Sheep' Erick Rowan! Let's go to the ring!"

Match Two ~ "The New Face of Fear" ("Eater of Worlds" Bray Wyatt & "Lost Sheep" Erick Rowan with "Spirit of Abigail" Maria Kanellis) vs. "The Richards Collective" ("The Beast" Brock Lesnar & The Rock with Eve Torres)

This one was chaotic from the outset. The action was fierce inside the ring and spilled outside the ring as well. Eventually, it couldn't be contained. The referee finally threw it out after he had lost all control.

Winners = no contest in 20:32

After the bell rang, the remaining members of "The New Face of Fear" hit the ring and decimated Rock and Brock. This allowed Wyatt to nail "Sister Abigail" on Brock. Adam Cole, Bobby Roode, and James Storm hit the ring to even the odds, causing Wyatt and company to retreat. However, the damage had been done as Brock struggled to recover in center ring.

Regal: "What a volatile ending to the broadcast tonight! Fans, please order Halloween Havoc on pay-per-view this Sunday! It will be worth every penny! And, join us back here on TBS next Tuesday for more of the Show Time Power Hour, where we'll discuss the aftermath of that event!
