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 a stacked episode lined up, headlined by CM Punk running the 'Gauntlet!'"
Mauro Ranallo: "Talk about having to jump through hoops! CM Punk has to earn his job back against the entire 'Richards Collective' two weeks after Straight Edge Superstar won it back for him!"
Jim Cornette: "If you ask me, it's karma coming around to bite him in the backside!"
Regal: "We've been allotted a fifteen-minute overrun by TBS! To ensure we get the entire 'Gauntlet' match completed within our allotted time, let's get it started!"
Match One ~ "Gauntlet" match ~ CM Punk vs. "Outlaw" James Storm with Maryse Ouellet
Winner = CM Punk by pinfall in 12:45
Regal: "What a win by Punk!"
Ranallo: "CM Punk survives one leg! But, there's five more to come!"
Cornette: "Not a chance he gets through it all!"
Regal: "It looks like Bobby Roode is out to begin leg number two! There's no rest for the weary!"
Match Two ~ "Gauntlet" match ~ CM Punk vs. "Glorious" Bobby Roode with Maryse Ouellet
Winner = CM Punk by pinfall in 21:48
Regal: "Punk wins it, but it took quite a while!"
Ranallo: "He really could use a quick finish to conserve energy!"
Cornette: "It wouldn't matter if he had a battery pack strapped to him! He'll never make it!"
Regal: "We have to take another break. When we return, the 'Gauntlet' continues!"
Regal: "We're back and leg three has already begun!"
Match Three ~ CM Punk vs. Ricochet with AJ Lee
Winner = CM Punk by pinfall in 14:48
Regal: "Punk wins again!"
Ranallo: "And, if I'm not mistaken, it looks like AJ Lee is happy about it!"
Cornette: "Well, she's off her rocker, so you never know."
Regal: "Who's it going to be next?!"
Match Four ~ "Gauntlet" match ~ CM Punk vs. The Rock with Eve Torres
The Rock strutted confidently to the ring. He entered with a smug sneer. As soon as the bell rang, he charged Punk. CM ducked, sending Rock throat first into the top rope. Punk then used The Rock's backward momentum to execute an "O'Connor Roll" for the surprise pinfall.
Winner = CM Punk by pinfall in 0:06
Regal: "CM Punk pinned The Rock in six seconds!"
Ranallo: "Are you kidding me?! What a shocker!"
Cornette: "That was a fluke, but he'll take it!"
Regal: "CM Punk needed that quick win! He only has two more opponents left, but they might be his toughest yet! The World Champion Adam Cole and the NWA: Show Time Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar! We'll see who's next after the break!"
Regal: "We're back and Brock Lesnar came out immediately and began taking Punk to 'Suplex City!'
Match Five ~ "Gauntlet" match ~ CM Punk vs. "The Beast" Brock Lesnar with Eve Torres
Lesnar pulverized Punk with "German Suplex" after "German Suplex." He hit ten in a row. Punk was basically lifeless. Lesnar smiled and called for the end. He hoisted Punk up and nailed the "F-5." As he went to cover, this entrance video played on the tron:
WALTER stepped out onto the entrance way. Lesnar stood up and began screaming at WALTER to bring it. WALTER simply motioned Lesnar to himself. Brock gave chase as WALTER stepped behind the curtain. CM Punk lay essentially motionless in the ring as the referee counted.
Winner = CM Punk by countout in 9:45
Regal: "What a ploy by WALTER to lure Brock Lesnar out of the ring, giving CM Punk the victory!"
Ranallo: "CM Punk now has to go through Adam Cole and he wins back his contract free and clear!"
Cornette: "It ain't going to happen! The man can't even get up!"
Regal: "We'll see after we return from commercial! Stay with us for this exciting conclusion!"
Regal: "We're back and here comes the World Heavyweight Champion!"
Match Six ~ "Gauntlet" match ~ CM Punk vs. Adam Cole with Britt Baker & Kamilla Kaine
Cole dominated Punk, almost toying with his exhausted opponent at times. Punk would not give in, but he was fading fast. Cole decided to step out of the ring and take a victory lap. When he did, this man's entrance video played:
Braun Strowman came out and chased Cole around the ring. Cole scurried away. He finally got back into the ring and cowered away from Strowman, who was still outside the ring and had not touched him. Cole turned around to the awaiting Punk, who scooped him up and unleashed a thunderous "GTS." Punk covered for the final pin as he collapsed to the mat.
Winner = CM Punk by pinfall in 14:13
Regal: "He did it! CM Punk has run the 'Gauntlet!'"
Ranallo: "Momma Mia! CM Punk has won back his contract! He's truly free and clear!"
Cornette: "I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own two eyes! CM Punk did it."
Regal: "He did it indeed! Fans, CM Punk just lasted over an hour against 'The Richards Collective' to officially win his contract back! What an episode! Fans, please join us again next Tuesday on TBS for more of the Show Time Power Hour! And, Cathy Kelley awaits right now over at www.nwashowtime.com for After Buzz! Don't miss it! For Mauro Ranallo and Jim Cornette, I'm William Regal, saying ta ta for now!"
As the episode went off air, AJ Lee surprisingly ran down to the ring to congratulate her husband. They embraced as the screen went dark.
NWA: Show Time After Buzz with Cathy Kelley aired as normal.
Kelley raved about the "performance of a lifetime" by CM Punk. She said he turned back the clock as well as the challenge of the most dominant group in the company in regaining the right to be and NWA: Show Time superstar. With that, Kelley signed off.
