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! Men, we have one of the most meaningful episodes in recent memory on tap tonight!"
Mauro Ranallo: "Momma Mia! So much hangs in the balance based off tonight's result!"
Jim Cornette: "Don't worry, guys! 'The Revival' will put to rest the myth of 'War Machine' once and for all!"
Regal: "Well Jim, we'll see about that a little later on. But, we were speaking specifically about Straight Edge Superstar versus Ricochet."
Cornette: "That's old news! CM Punk is going down once and for all too! Good riddance, if you ask me!"
Regal: "Stop it, Jim! This is going to be a chapter-turning hour, no doubt about it! Let's get is started with six-man action!"
Match One ~ "Crowe's Nest" (Solomon Crowe, Hangman Page, & "The Man Gravity Forgot" Adrian Neville) vs. "House of Truth" (Jay Lethal, Donovan Dijak, & Shotzi Blakkhartt with Truth Martini & "Hoopla Hotties" {Zahra and Dana})
This was a highly competitive match between two villainous groups. The real star was Neville, who flew around the ring defying gravity as his name implies. However, it was miscommunication that led to Neville's demise. Crowe connected with a vicious "Lariat." Unfortunately, the object of his attempt was Shotzi, who ducked. Adrian got blasted. Crowe was dumped to the outside and Shotzi got the surprise pin on a dazed Neville before he could react.
Winners = "House of Truth" by pinfall in 13:19
Regal: "Mixed signals spelled doom for 'Crowe's Nest!'"
Ranallo: "Big pinfall victory for 'House of Truth,' with Shotzi getting the big finish!"
Cornette: "I still say she doesn't belong in the ring with men, but she proved herself worthy tonight."
After the match, Neville got into a shouting match with Crowe. Page tried to calm things down, but was shoved to the mat by Neville. Adrian left the ring after exclaiming, "I don't need this group! You're going nowhere anyway! I'm better off on my own!"
Regal: "It looks like Adrian Neville has unceremoniously parted ways with 'Crowe's Nest!' Fans, we need to take a break. We'll be back with more in just a moment!"
Regal: "We're back! Fans, Charly Caruso is backstage with Straight Edge Superstar, who is set to put his and CM Punk's NWA: Show Time careers on the line in our main event! Let's see what his thoughts are."
Charly Caruso: "I am here with Straight Edge Superstar, who has a 'do or die' match with Ricochet in the main event. What prompted you to issue this challenge that could see both you and CM Punk might be done with NWA: Show Time?"
Straight Edge Superstar: "For once, I agreed with Ricochet. He said, 'enough is enough.' He's right. I'm tired of ducking and dodging everyone trying to collect a bounty on my head. Everyone has tried in vain to prove that I am CM Punk. Well, that all ends tonight. Tonight I defeat Ricochet, and I prove that I'm not Phil Brooks once and for all."
Caruso: "You're going to prove you are not CM Punk? What are you saying?"
SES: "Trust me. No one will see it coming."
Caruso: "Okay. You heard it here first. Back to you, William."
Regal: "Thank you, Charly. A bizarre ending to that interview."
Ranallo: "You can say that again! What does he mean by, 'prove' he's not CM Punk once and for all?! Is he actually going to unmask?!"
Regal: "I don't know of any other way to prove that Straight Edge Superstar and CM Punk are two different people. I guess we'll see a little later on! But first, we've given Jim Cornette his leave so that he can accompany his team for the Mid-Atlantic Championship defense! Let's go to the ring!"
Match Two ~ NWA: Show Time Mid-Atlantic Tag Team Championship ~ "The Revival" Scott Dawson & Dash Wilder) with Jim Cornette vs. "War Machine" ("WarBeard" Hanson & Raymond "Death" Rowe)
This was an all-out battle. The challengers were hot early, but Rowe got caught in no man's land and was isolated for quite some time in the champions' corner. They physically dissected Rowe as he fought to tag in his 300-lb. partner. Hanson chomped at the bit from the corner for what seemed like an eternity. He even got a tag at one point, only to have the referee send him back out to the apron because he didn't see it. The fans were on the edges of their seats in anticipation. When Rowe finally tagged Hanson in, the place exploded. "WarBeard" went on a rampage, tearing through Dash and Dawson like X-Lax through a widow woman (to borrow a phrase from Cornette). The referee got knocked down and that's when things took a drastic turn. "WM" hit "Fallout" on Dawson. Cornette then got involved with his racket, waylaying Hanson. Dash rolled Dawson on top of Hanson. Out of nowhere, Bobby Roode and James Storm hit the ring, decimating Rowe and Wilder. Cornette looked to use his racket on them, but was jumped onto from behind by Maryse Ouellet. Storm turned Hanson and Dawson over, then roused the referee, who counted the three.
Winners and NEW NWA: Show Time Mid-Atlantic Tag Team Champions = "War Machine" by pinfall in 19:43
Roode and Storm laughed their way up the entrance. Storm looked at the camera and said, "Sorry about your d*** luck!"
Regal: "Why on earth did Bobby Roode and James Storm assist 'War Machine?!'"
Ranallo: "We know they aren't in cahoots! This had to be some sort of retaliation against 'The Revival!'"
Regal: "Perhaps it stems from the Crockett Cup! All we know is that Jim Cornette and company are fit to be tied! We'll probably get an earful after the break. We'll be back in three minutes with the main event!"
Regal: "Fans, we're back! After the events that preceded our last commercial, Jim Cornette has refused to rejoin us for commentary. Nevertheless, we well carry on! It's main event time! But first, let's hear from Ricochet and AJ Lee, who are standing by with Charly Caruso! Charly, take it away!"
Caruso: "Thank you, William. Ricochet, one way or another, it all comes to a head in mere moments, as you do battle with Straight Edge Superstar. So much is on the line. The trajectory of the company moving forward will change one way or another. What are your thoughts?"
Ricochet: "I am walking into this thing with utter confidence that I will get the job done and kill two birds with one stone. Straight Edge Superstar will be gone and I'll never have to worry about CM Punk again!"
Caruso: "AJ, how does that make you feel?"
AJ Lee: "I can't say that I am happy at the prospect of my husband being terminated. But, I understand why it has to be. I'm just glad I won't be out there to see it happen."
Caruso: "You're of course referring to the stipulation that no one from either side can come to ringside or the match will immediately be called. Ricochet, does that change your game plan at all?"
Ricochet: "Why would it?! I don't need help to beat Straight Edge Superstar! I'm 'The One & Only!' All I need is me!"
Caruso: "Back to you, William."
Regal: "Supremely confident is Ricochet, perhaps with good reason. It's about to go down! Let's go to the ring for a huge main event!"
Match Three ~ "The One & Only" Ricochet vs. Straight Edge Superstar
SES came out covered from head to toe in black. Almost no skin shone on his body. Ricochet was intense and focused. What a fight. There was plenty of action that spilled all over ringside. The two embattled warriors spent as much time outside the ring as they did inside it. It was a wild affair. The moment of the night happened very near the end of it. Ricochet had SES down and began to unmask him. Just as he ripped the shroud off to reveal Angelico (!), the crowd hit it's feet as CM Punk himself walked down the aisle.
Mauro Ranallo: "Momma Mia! So much hangs in the balance based off tonight's result!"
Jim Cornette: "Don't worry, guys! 'The Revival' will put to rest the myth of 'War Machine' once and for all!"

Ricochet had SES down and began to unmask him. Just as he ripped the shroud off to reveal Angelico (!), the crowd hit it's feet as CM Punk himself walked down the aisle.
He stopped and stared at Ricochet, grinning like a Cheshire cat. Ricochet took his eyes off Angelico long enough for him to recover. When Ricochet turned around, he got caught with a "Crucifix Bomb" that got the three-count.
Winner = Straight Edge Superstar by pinfall in 22:05
Regal: "Oh my! What a turn of events! CM Punk is here in the same room with Straight Edge Superstar, who just so happens to be Angelico!"
Ranallo: "So, the entire time, Straight Edge Superstar was actually the South African Angelico?! What an actor!"
Regal: "It would appear so! Either way, he and CM Punk are free and clear! Punk is back in NWA: Show Time! His suspension will be lifted and his contract renewed! We also had the title change amid plenty of controversy! What an hour we've seen here! Unfortunately, we're rapidly running out of time.
