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 an action-packed episode tonight!"
Mauro Ranallo: "The Heavyweight Champion, 'The Fiend,' has been MIA for a few weeks, but he is back tonight to defend the crown against Matt Riddle!"
Jim Cornette: "That should be a hard-hitting brawl!"
Regal: "Indeed! But before that, we have two other stellar match-ups! Shelton Benjamin, representing 'The Varsity Club,' will be taking on a former member of this roster, the ultra-talented Cedric Alexander! Then, the Cruiserweight Championship is on the line as Johnny Gargano defends against a former champion in Adrian Neville! Let's get this loaded episode started!"
Match One ~ "Gold Standard" Shelton Benjamin with "Olympic Hero" Kurt Angle, Eve Torres, "The Beast" Brock Lesnar, & Jake Hager
(Match result courtesy of "The Overtimer")
Benjamin would start the match with a rear-waist lock, but Alexander would counter out with a wrist lock. After shoving Alexander off into the ropes, Benjamin would look for a jumping knee, only to be shoved away midair. This standoff would be one of respect, and both men were now ready to go. Benjamin would show his grappling prowess, isolating the arm of Alexander and ground him. It became abundantly clear that Alexander had no chance of winning this match on the mat, and would need to pick the pace up. He’d hit a Monkey Flip, followed by an attempt at a kick, with Benjamin narrowly dodging. Alexander would choose to grapple with Benjamin again, trying to prove he isn’t completely outclassed in that realm, but doing a poor job of it. The power and experience of Benjamin would win but the crafty Alexander went for a rollup and dropkick to send Benjamin down. They’d go right back to grappling with Alexander locking in a wrist-lock. Mad that he got shown up in grappling, Benjamin would drop him with a huge strike. Benjamin would get physical and beat down Alexander in the corner. Temporary freedom would lead to Benjamin ending up in the corner, but he’d send Alexander out to the apron as he approached. Creating some space with a quick elbow, Alexander went for a springboard forearm, but would be caught with a step up knee from Benjamin before he could take off. This would put the match firmly into the corner of Benjamin, who would apply a rear-naked choke in the middle of the ring. Alexander would fight his way up, but be sent airborne with a huge back body drop, being launched 7 feet in the air. A deliberate knee drop would be followed by a chin lock, but Alexander would get out with a jawbreaker. Moving to strikes, Alexander would stick and move as he sent Benjamin into the corner before hitting a Tornado DDT for a near fall. Setting up for a handspring back elbow, Alexander would be caught in a German Suplex position, but land on his feet. He’d run into a kick from Benjamin, and while he caught it, he’d be caught hard after spinning Benjamin; falling prey to the classic Dragon Whip and being turned inside out. Most men would have fallen to that kick, but Alexander fought on. He’d counter Paydirt into a roll-up, getting a two. Benjamin would attempt a Powerbomb but Alexander would slip out and hit the Neutralizer kick for a near fall. Alexander would be set up for the Lumbar Check, but Benjamin countered out. Instead, Cedric would be planted with a Michinoku Driver for the win.
Winner = Shelton Benjamin in 15:08
Match Two ~ NWA: Show Time Cruiserweight Championship ~ Johnny "Wrestling" Gargano with "Poison Pixie" Candice LeRae vs. "The Man Gravity Forgot" Adrian Neville
This match had the makings of an instant classic. It went back-and-forth for eight minutes before Braun Strowman rushed the ring and attacked Gargano, causing the unwanted disqualification.
Winner and STILL NWA: Show Time Cruiserweight Champion = Johnny Gargano by disqualification in 8:11
Gargano and LeRae hightailed it back up the ramp as Alexa Bliss and Strowman gave chase. Neville then confronted Braun and ate a "Running Powerslam" on the floor for his troubles.
Regal: "Braun Strowman played the spoiler in that one!"
Ranallo: "He wanted a piece of Johnny Gargano! Instead, he took a piece of Adrian Neville!"
Cornette: "I get Neville's frustration, but that wasn't his best life decision!"
Regal: "Fans, we need to take another break. When we return, it's main event time!"
Regal: "We're back! We want to give plenty of time for our Heavyweight Championship match, so let's go right back to the ring!"
Match Three ~ NWA: Show Time Heavyweight Championship ~ "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt with "Spirit of Abigail" Maria Kanellis vs. "King of Bros" Matt Riddle
Mauro Ranallo: "The Heavyweight Champion, 'The Fiend,' has been MIA for a few weeks, but he is back tonight to defend the crown against Matt Riddle!"
Jim Cornette: "That should be a hard-hitting brawl!"

Match Three ~ NWA: Show Time Heavyweight Championship ~ "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt with "Spirit of Abigail" Maria Kanellis vs. "King of Bros" Matt Riddle
Winner and STILL NWA: Show Time Heavyweight Champion = Bray Wyatt by submission in 27:50
As soon as Wyatt's hand was raised, the lights went out. When they came back up, he was being clutched by Killer Kross, Kevin Steen, and Austin Theory and was forced to his knees. Maria tried to intervene, but was taken out by a "Spear" from Scarlett. Rollins readied himself in the corner, then unleashed "The Atonement." Bray struggled back to his knees and was hit with another "Atonement." He struggled once again to his knees, but was met with a third "Atonement" ("Curb Stomp"). This time, he could not muster the strength to get up! rollins held one fist high into the air, then pulled it down into praying hands. He was joined in that same pose by the rest of "Doomsday" as his music played in the background.
Regal: "Wow! We have just witnessed the taking out of Bray Wyatt, something we never thought we'd see! What a surreal and terrifying sight! It looks as though Seth Rollins' intentions are clear! He wants the Heavyweight Championship! Fans, we're rapidly running out of time for this week. Please join us again next Tuesday on TBS for more of the Show Time Power Hour! For Mauro Ranallo and Jim Cornette, I'm William Regal, saying ta ta for now!"
