William Regal: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the historic two hundredth episode of 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! Fellas, this will be our most monumental episode ever!"
Mauro Ranallo: "Momma Mia, is it ever?! Matt Riddle defends the Television Championship against Killer Kross, and we have a huge main event!"
Jim Cornette: "Hold on just a dang minute! Before you two go launching into a tirade about this week's historic two hundredth episode, I want to address what happened last week! My men were blindsided by two cowards--Bobby Roode and James Storm--and Dash has the scars to prove it! I demanded a title shot, but Ric Flair, who I've known for over thirty years, treated me like yesterday's garbage! I demand justice! I demand 'The Revival' versus 'Glorious Outlaws!'"
Regal: "Jim, for the first time ever, we're all on the same page. We'd like to see that match too."
Cornette: "Well, let me tell you this. I can promise you that tonight, there will be repercussions if we don't get what we want!"
Ranallo: "What is that supposed to mean?!"
Cornette: "Watch and see, Mauro! Watch and see!"
Regal: "Jim, we have to move on right now. Tonight represents two hundred weeks of the absolute best episodic wrestling television anywhere in the world! I am proud to have been calling the action since day one! The main event this week might be the biggest we've ever seen. Because of all the feuding on the main event scene, we've come to this: 'War Games!' Tonight, ten men will step inside the destructive steel structure and do battle in a match that was created by the brilliant Dusty Rhodes thirty-two years ago. 'The Richards Collective,' sans world Champion Adam Cole, will take on CM Punk, WALTER, Braun Strowman, and 'War Machine!' This will be a colossal match with huge implications. Because, the winner of tonight's fall will get to pick the match of his choice! That could mean unlimited possibilities! Fans, we have to get this night started, so let's go to the ring for a grudge match!"
Match One ~ Solomon Crowe with Hangman Page vs. "The Man Gravity Forgot" Adrian Neville
Neville was really taking the fight to his former stable leader. Page tried to assist, but was thwarted by Neville as well. Just when it looked like Adrian was on his way to victory, several assailants hit the ring. They began to dismantle Neville. The referee called for the bell.
Winner = Adrian Neville by disqualification in 5:08
After the bell, Crowe joined the group and laid the boots to Neville. Hangman Page joined in, but quickly was overtaken by the group. He was left laying as well.
Regal: "What is going on here?! We have Jessicka Havok from NWA: Femme Fatales, along with Crimson and Neveah from NWA: DFW! They've all converged on NWA: Show Time in a show of force with Solomon Crowe! They've laid waste to former member of 'Crowe's Nest' Adrian Neville and now have turned on current member Hangman Page!"
Ranallo: "Are you kidding me?! There is carnage everywhere! What is this hostile takeover we're witnessing?!"
Cornette: "I don't know, but I've never seen Solomon Crowe with a more formidable group of goons ever!"
They all posed in the ring after the beat down.
Regal: "Fans, we need to take a quick break. We'll be back with the Television Championship match next!"
Regal: "We're back! What?! Hold on! There's some sort of disturbance backstage! Let's go back there now!"
The camera man set up for interviews was backstage and was filming another beating. The same group of assailants, along with Solomon Crowe, were kicking away at "War Machine," which was prone on the floor. Finally, officials ran in to clear the scene. CM Punk, WALTER, and Braun Strowman ran in shortly thereafter to check on their partners.
Regal: "This new group is dangerous! They've just thrown the main event into flux after taking out 'War Machine!'"
Cornette: "Not if I have anything to say about it!"
Ranallo: "What?! Jim, what are you talking about?!"
Cornette: "I have to go take care of something. I'll be back shortly!"
Cornette left the commentary booth in a hurry.
Regal: "We don't know where Jim has run off to, but we must forge on. We were supposed to have an interview with Vanessa Craft and 'War Machine,' but obviously that has been nixed. Let's go back to the ring for the Television Championship match between Matt Riddle and Killer Kross! This should be a very intense battle!"
Match Two ~ NWA: Show Time Television Championship ~ "King of Bros" Matt Riddle vs. Killer Kross with Scarlett Bordeaux
Both men have extensive MMA backgrounds, so this diverted into a strike fest very quickly. Kross showed his chops by hanging with the former UFC star Riddle. Ultimately, the two fought to a stalemate, as the fifteen-minute television time limit expired with Kross trapped in Riddle's "Bromission."
Winner = time limit draw in 15:00 (Riddle retains)
Regal: "What a scintillating match-up! Both men fought at the top of their game!"
Ranallo: "It's just a shame neither man came away with a victory!"
Riddle left the ring with the championship intact, but he yelled the words, "We're not done yet, bro!" at Kross, who nodded as he was consoled by Scarlett Bordeaux.
Regal: "Fans, one more break and we come back to 'War Games!' Stay tuned!"
Regal: "We're back and it's time to go to war! But, is the match even going to happen?! 'War Machine' has been ruled out after being attacked by Solomon Crowe and his new group of henchmen. Vanessa Craft is standing by with team captain CM Punk, WALTER, and Braun Strowman. Let's hear their thoughts and get an update."
Vanessa Craft: "I'm here with three-fifths of what was supposed to be the 'War Games' team captained by CM Punk. After that attack earlier in the night, trainers have not cleared Hanson and Rowe, leaving this match in doubt."
CM Punk: "Let me stop you right there, Vanessa. This match is not in doubt whatsoever. I've talked it over with Braun and WALTER. We will go in five-on-three if we have to, but this match will go on as scheduled."
Jim Cornette walked into the scene abruptly.
Cornette: "Hold on just a second, there Punk. This is going to be a five-on-five and I'll tell you why!"
Punk: "Why is that, Jim?"
Cornette: "Because' The Revival' is taking 'War Machine's' spots!"
Punk: "I don't think so!"
Cornette: "Hear me out! Granted, we don't like you and you don't like us. But, none of us like any of them. You know what they say, Phil, the enemy of your enemy is your friend. We have this common enemy and we all need to band together, if only for one night, to take them down!"
Punk: "Okay. So, let me make sure I'm hearing you correctly. You want to put aside whatever differences we all may have together and have 'The Revival' to team with us to fight 'The Richards Collective.'"
Cornette: "Exactly, my good man!"
Dash and Dawson stepped into the area.
Dash Wilder: "Let us in the match and they'll wish they looked this good when we get done with them!" (Dash pointed to his badly scraped and swollen face)
Punk: "Guys, what do you think?"
WALTER: "I could care less. I just want to fight."
Braun Strowman: "It's fine with me. You guys are in, but if you screw us, you're gonna get these hands!"
Cornette: "Understood."
Dawson: "It's time to take those boys to the woodshed!"
The entire group walked off together as Cornette and Punk began talking strategy.
Regal: "Well then, that's what Jim Cornette had up his sleeve. He saw opportunity knock when 'War Machine' went down! Let's go to the ring!"
Match Three ~ "War Games" ~ "The Richards Collective" ("The Beast" Brock Lesnar, The Rock, "The One & Only" Ricochet, "Glorious" Bobby Roode, & "Outlaw" James Storm with Eve Torres, AJ Lee, and Maryse Ouellet) vs. CM Punk, "The Monster Among Men" Braun Strowman, WALTER, Dash Wilder, & Scott Dawson with "The Goddess" Alexa Bliss and Jim Cornette)
With all ten men and their seconds at ringside, ringside swelled with the mass of humanity. Bobby Roode entered the cage first. CM Punk looked to put himself in first for his team. He was stopped by Wilder, who demanded retribution against Roode, the person mainly responsible for the damage done to his face. Those two went at it hot and heavy for the five-minute period. The coin toss took place beforehand, assuring "The Richards Collective" the man advantage until the end. Brock Lesnar was sent in by Eve Torres next. He dismantled Wilder in short order. Roode and Brock really destroyed their injured opponent, Dash was not a factor for quite a while after that. WALTER evened the odds, but fell victim to the combined efforts of Lesnar and Roode, followed by Ricochet. Punk was in next. Wilder began to fight back around this time as well. Storm entered and the villains took the upper hand back. Scott Dawson was next. He helped his teammates even things back up. The Rock came in to give the final man advantage and "The Richards Collective" rode that momentum for the final two-minute period. When Braun Strowman came in (nearly tearing the cage door down), the place exploded. It was a war of attrition for a few minutes more until Cornette slipped Wilder his trusty tennis racket through one of the cage gaps near the corner post. Dash used the handle of the racket and tried to bury it into the eye socket of Bobby Roode. Roode yelled out in agony and beckoned his teammates to assist him, but they were being held at bay by Punk and company. Dash dug in with all his might until Roode finally tapped out.
Winners = CM Punk, Braun Strowman, WALTER, & "The Revival" by submission in 27:19
Regal: "What a match!"
Ranallo: "That was the darnedest fight I think I've ever seen! Momma Mia!"
Regal: "Oh my! That means Dash Wilder will get the match of his choosing!"
Ranallo: "And, I don't think we have to be rocket scientists to know what that choice will be!"
Regal: "I think a Tag team Championship match is in their future! Oh my! What a night! Two hundred episodes are in the books! Fans, we thank you for taking this historic ride along with us! Please join us again next Tuesday on TBS for more of the Show Time Power Hour! There's no After Buzz tonight, but Cathy Kelley will be hosting a special retrospective on the first two hundred episodes tomorrow on www.nwashowtime.com! For Mauro Ranallo and Jim Cornette, I'm William Regal, saying ta ta for now!"
