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're coming off our historic two hundredth episode and a fantastic weekend at Spring Stampede in Montreal!"
Mauro Ranallo: "It was great to get back to my native Canada to take in the pay-per-view first hand! And, what an event it was that saw WALTER defeat Brock Lesnar for the NWA: Show Time Heavyweight Championship amid a cloud of controversy as he was assisted by an unknown masked man!"
Jim Cornette: "Yeah, yeah! WALTER beat 'the Beast' and had help from a masked man! I saw it, and it was CM Punk! I'd bet my life on it! Now, forget the pay-per-view! Let's talk about the really big news! Dash Wilder gutted out 'War games' with a broken face and won the thing! Now, we get whatever match we want!"
Regal: "Indeed, Jim. That was my next order of business. We assume this should be pretty obvious, but what match will Dash choose?"
Cornette: "He'll tell you himself in a little while. I'm not going to spoil it."
Regal: "Very well then. Fans, we do want to talk about WALTER's controversial title win tonight. But, we have a huge episode otherwise, with three big title matches! Will one third of the new NWA World Six-Man Tag Team Champions Pete Dunne continue his historic Cruiserweight Championship reign against former champion Kota Ibushi? We'll find out! After their time-limit draw last week, Matt Riddle has demanded to defend his championship once again versus Killer Kross in a match with a thirty-minute limit! And, we'll start the night off with Shelton Benjamin defending the Mid-Atlantic Championship against the challenge of Bray Wyatt! Let's go to the ring!"
Match One ~ NWA: Show Time Mid-Atlantic Championship ~ "Gold Standard" Shelton Benjamin with "Olympic Hero" Kurt Angle vs. "Eater of Worlds" Bray Wyatt with "Spirit of Abigail" Maria Kanellis
Winner and NEW NWA: Show Time Mid-Atlantic Champion = Bray Wyatt by pinfall in 12:43
Regal: "What a win for Bray Wyatt! He's back in the champion's column!"
Ranallo: The enigmatic Bray Wyatt has won the Mid-Atlantic Championship for the first time in his career!"
Cornette: "Bray Wyatt beat a world class athlete in Shelton Benjamin! He earned it!"
Regal: "Fans, we'll take a quick break. When we return, Matt Riddle will do battle with Killer Kross for the second week in a row!"
Regal: "We're back! As promised, Vanessa Craft is backstage with Jim Cornette and 'The Revival' for that big announcement! Vanessa, take it away!"
Vanessa Craft: "Thank you, William! I am flanked by Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson, along with their manager and advisor Jim Cornette. Last week, you inserted these men into the 'War Games' match after 'War Machine' had been attacked. And ultimately, Dash got the submission from Bobby Roode, which brings us to today. per the stipulation, you Dash get to choose whatever match you want. So, what will it be?"
Dash Wilder: "It's no secret that we've been trying to get a Tag Team Championship match with Roode and Storm since we beat them at the Crockett Cup. And, they've done everything in their power to avoid it, including nearly ripping my face off my skull! Well now, they can't avoid us any longer, because we're getting that Tag Team Championship match! But, to make sure it's just us four and no one else, we're putting it inside a steel cage right here in Charlotte next week!"
Scott Dawson: "That's right, Vanessa! Next week, Bobby Roode and James Storm are in for the beating of their lives, Jack! And, we're going to enjoy every stinking minute of it!"
Cornette: "You know, we tried to conduct ourselves like men and professionals. We asked for the match and were told we needed to stay in our lane! I went to people I thought were my friends and asked for the match! They laughed at us and treated us like outcasts! Then, they cost us the Mid-Atlantic Tag Titles! To top it off, they tried to end Dash's career! Well, we've taken matters into our own hands! And, in that cage next week, these two have an appointment with destiny! It's going to be bloody and violent and not for the faint of heart! Revenge is a dish best served cold and yours is coming right out of the deep freeze!"
Craft: "Back to you, William."
Regal: "'The Revival' and Jim Cornette are fired up!"
Ranallo: "You can say that again! A 'Steel Cage' match next week for the Tag Team Championship?! Momma Mia!"
Regal: "All right, fans. It's time for the return match for the Television Championship! This time, there's thirty minutes on the clock! Let's see if one can finish off the other!"
Match Two ~ NWA: Show Time Television Championship ~ "King of Bros" Matt Riddle vs. Killer Kross with "Smokeshow" Scarlett Bordeaux
It's a good thing the match had an extended time limit, because they went well past fifteen minutes. Once again, this became a mat-based and striking contest, as both men's' MMA acumen is keen. Riddle seemed to have more gas in the tank at the end, as he locked Kross in the "Bromission." Killer was going to have a bell to save him this time. He writhed and wriggled, trying to free himself, but Riddle cinched up tighter. Kross grabbed referee Rod Zapata by the collar, pulling him in close as he frantically tried to escape Riddle's clutches. Bordeaux took the momentary distraction as her cue and gouged her nails into Riddle's eyes, prompting him to break the hold. The referee was confused, as he did not see the blatant interference. Kross recovered quickly and hit "Doomsday Saito" on the blinded Riddle for the pin.
Winner and NEW NWA: Show Time Television Champion = Killer Kross by pinfall in 22:08
Regal: "Kross and Bordeaux stole one there!"
Ranallo: "The reign of Matt Riddle comes to an end in controversial fashion! That was blatant interference by the 'Smokeshow!'"
Cornette: "Matt Riddle is still holding that left eye! He might have suffered some permanent damage! I tell you, you can't trust a woman!"
Regal: "At least not that one. Fans, we have to take another commercial break. We'll be back with more in just a moment!"
Regal: "We're back! Let's talk about a disturbance that was created last week on our program, one that still has the wrestling world talking. Solomon Crowe and longtime girlfriend Jessicka Havok, along with Crimson and Neveah from NWA: DFW, unleashed an onslaught last week that took out former member of 'Crowe's Nest,' Adrian Neville, as well as then current member Hangman Page! The group continued their attack by taking out 'War Machine' ahead of 'War Games.' Attempts to contact any of them this week have been unsuccessful. What does this group hope to accomplish? What is their agenda? Will we ever get any answers? Time will tell. Fans, we're ready for our main event! Pete Dunne defends the Cruiserweight Championship against Kota Ibushi! This should be a classic!"
Match Three ~ NWA: Show Time Cruiserweight Championship ~ "Bruiserweight" Pete Dunne vs. Kota Ibushi
This match had instant classic written all over it and it did not disappoint. Both men brought their "A" game with them. It was tit for tat the entire match, nip and tuck, back and forth. Dunne used his traditional joint manipulation to cripple the left hand of Ibushi, while Kota flew around the ring like a soaring eagle. Dunne hit "The Bitter End," which had just won he and "British Strong Style" brethren Tyler Bate and Trent Seven the NWA World Six-Man Tag team Championship on Sunday, but on Tuesday, Kota Ibushi kicked out. The crowd went wild. Kota used his fighting spirit to come back, weakening Dunne with stiff kicks. Kota finally finished the match with his vaunted "Phoenix Plex."
Winner and NEW NWA: Show Time Cruiserweight Champion = Kota Ibushi by pinfall in 23:11
Regal: "The longest Cruiserweight Championship reign in company history has just come to an end!"
Ranallo: "Kota Ibushi has just supplanted the juggernaut Pete Dunne!"
Cornette: "'The 'Bruiserweight' goes down! Kota Ibushi got it done!"
Regal: "Fans, we'll take another break! We're back with more shortly!"
Regal: "We're back from the break. As we mentioned at the top of the hour, WALTER became the Heavyweight champion on Sunday by defeating Brock Lesnar in a brutal 'Last Man Standing' match. The real headline was the interference of a masked man who came out of the crowd and hogtied Lesnar's legs, preventing him from getting to his feet. No one has any idea who the masked man was, but a fan snapped this photo of him:"
Regal: "All parties involved have been silent on the matter, but you know Brock will want revenge and repercussions."
Ranallo: "There's no question that this unknown man will have a bull's eye on his back, because 'The Beast' almost assuredly is seeing red!"
Cornette: "Are you guys kidding me with this again?! Who was that masked man?! Obviously, this is our old friend Straight Edge Superstar! Anyone find it odd that he disappeared since CM Punk won his contract back?! Punk got screwed earlier in the night by Jordan Richards and took it out in Brock's match because Lesnar works for Jordan Richards! Man, I get tired of being right all the time!"
Regal: "That's a very strong theory, Jim. And, it may even be correct. But, we don't know one way or another. WALTER was mum on the issue when interviewed after the match. Give this a listen."
A video clip was played from backstage at Spring Stampede as WALTER walked back to his dressing room after winning the NWA: Show Time Heavyweight Championship.
Interviewer: WALTER, may I have a word? Congratulations on defeating Brock Lesnar and becoming the NWA: Show Time Heavyweight Champion."
WALTER: "Thanks. It was a hard-fought match. Brock is a tough opponent, but the better man won."
Interviewer: "What about the interfence of that masked man who tied Lesnar's legs up and kept him from standing? Doesn't that taint your win somewhat?"
WALTER: "I have no idea what you're talking about. All I know was that I stood up and Brock did not. I won the match, fair and square as far as I am concerned. I know nothing of a masked man."
WALTER walked off abruptly.
Regal: "We know that we haven't heard the last of this issue. We certainly expect some sort of retaliation by Brock Lesnar."
Suddenly, this entrance video aired on the tron:
Solomon Crowe, Jessicka Havok, Crimson, and Neveah came to the ring, all wearing gas masks. Crowe held up a sign that read simply: "OI4K"
Regal: "'OI4K?!' What does this mean?! What is going on here?!"
Solomon Crowe demanded a microphone.
Solomon Crowe: "For far too long, I have been held down in this company! For far too long, Jessicka Havok has been held down in NWA: Femme Fatales! For far too long, Crimson and Neveah both have been held down in NWA: DFW! And, we have a few more friends who've been held down too! You'll meet them soon enough! But, being held down is not our bond! No! That is what one thing we share, yes. But, our true common ground lies in the land of the buckeyes! You see, everyone whose name I just mentioned, including our comrades who you will get to know soon enough, we're all from the great state of Ohio! And, we're all ready to be unleashed on the world as a unit bent on destruction and mayhem! You may ask, what's Ohio got to do with it?! Well, Ohio bore us and it's bred us to be tough as nails and back down from no one! We are Ohio! And, 'Ohio is 4 Killers!'"
The group posed, all holding up four fingers.
Regal: "'OI4K.' 'Ohio is 4 Killers.' Wow! This is not good. Fans, we're out of time. Please join us again next Tuesday on TBS for more of the Show Time Power Hour. cathy Kelley is on assignment, so there will be no After Buzz tonight. She'll be back next week. For Mauro Ranallo and Jim Cornette, I'm William Regal, saying ta ta for now."
"OI4K" destroyed the ringside area. As the episode went off air, Jim Cornette could be heard exclaiming, "Good Lord! They're tearing the whole place down!"
The screen faded to black.
