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! Gents, the summer is heating up and so is the action here in NWA: Show Time!"
Mauro Ranallo: "It's hotter than a two-dollar pistol!"
Jim Cornette: "The NWA is growing! This company is growing! And, things couldn't be more exciting for wrestling fans!"
Regal: "Yes, it is! As we head toward 'Summer Sizzle,' our superstars are beginning to get themselves in position for that marquee event!"
Just then, this entrance video played on the tron:

Just then, this entrance video played on the tron:
"Sons of Steel" came out. Boomer Payne grabbed a microphone.
Boomer Payne: "They call our group 'Forgotten Sons' for a reason! Brice Anthony and I are multi-time Tag Team Champions! In fact, we are the first team ever to hold those titles in this company! And yet, we sit in the back every week waiting for an opportunity and get overlooked time in and time out! Enough is enough! (Commissioner) Sting, give us something!"
Commissioner Sting came out to a big ovation.
Sting: "Okay boys, you want some competition? You want a chance to shine? Well, here you go."

Commissioner Sting came out to a big ovation.
Sting: "Okay boys, you want some competition? You want a chance to shine? Well, here you go."
Regal: "It's 'The Mighty Don't Kneel!' Shane Haste and Mikey Nicholls! They've been champions all over the world and they've recently signed with us! We have a match!"
Match One ~ "The Mighty Don't Kneel" (Shane Haste & Mikey Nicholls) vs. "Sons of Steel" (Boomer Payne & Brice Anthony) with Whiplash
This was a tag team master class. Both teams are so adept at cutting the ring in half and using opponents' weaknesses. There was a concerted effort to expose Haste's knee issues on one side, while Brice Anthony's shoulder was the focal point of the other. "TMDK" broke an attempted "Steel Curtain" and eventually hit a "Rank Buster" of their own for the win.
Winners = "The Mighty Don't Kneel" by pinfall in 22:12
Regal: "What a debut win for Shane Haste and Mikey Nicholls!"
Haste grabbed a microphone.
Shane Haste: "'War Machine,' you hold the NWA: Show Time Tag Team Championship. We want it! Consider yourselves warned!"
Regal: "Haste and Nicholls have called out 'War Machine' for the Tag Team Championship!"
Ranallo: "Momma Mia! Talk about making an impact on your first night in the company!"
Cornette: "Haste and Nicholls are a fantastic team! But, don't go calling out the champs unless you're ready to go to war, because Hanson and Rowe are a destructive force!"
Regal: "Agreed! Fans, we need to take a quick commercial break. We'll be back with more action when we return!"
Regal: "We're back! Fans, before we could really get the hour going, we had that fabulous tag team match! It wasn't scheduled, but what a treat! What was scheduled, however, was a confrontation between 'The Four Horsemen' and 'The Varsity Club' that stems from Great American Bash, where CM Punk stole the NWA United States Championship from Brock Lesnar! The question is, who will represent 'The Varsity Club' as its fourth team member? Will it be Kurt Angle stepping back into the ring? Last time we speculated that, we got Jake Hager! So, anything can happen! Fans, 'The Varsity Club' is standing by with Cathy Kelley. Let's see if we can get an answer to that question!"
Cathy Kelley: "I am here with Kurt Angle, Eve Torres, and 'The Varsity Club,' which is set to do battle against 'The Four Horsemen' in eight-man competition next. Obviously, you all, Brock Lesnar in particular, are looking for retribution since CM Punk took the United States Championship at Great American Bash in controversial fashion. But, the question on everyone's minds is, who will your fourth man be? Kurt, are you stepping back into the ring for this match?"
Kurt Angle: "Cathy, while I know my millions of adoring fans would love to see me grace the squared circle once again, it's not going to happen. Never say never, but it's not today."
Kelley: "Then, who is your fourth?"
Eve Torres stepped up to the microphone.
Eve Torres: "Cathy, you'll know when 'The Four Horsemen' know. Let's leave it at that."
Angle: "Oh, it's true!"
Kelley: "Back to you, William."
Regal: "Another surprise from 'The Varsity Club!' Let's go to Vanessa Craft, who is in the other locker room with 'The Four Horsemen.'"
Vanessa Craft: "Ric (Flair), you just heard the news coming out of 'The Varsity Club' locker room. They have a mystery partner to face your group. What do you make of that?"
Ric Flair: "What do I make of it?! I don't anything of it, Vanessa! Because, it doesn't matter who they're partner is! The result of this match won't change! 'The Four Horsemen' are the most elite collection of professional wrestlers in the world! So, whoever they bring out with them, it won't change a thing! We will win and we will continue on our mission to win all the NWA titles! Wooo!"
As "The Four Horsemen" walked away confidently, Chris Jericho could be heard proclaiming, "Le champions!"
Regal: "Well, the time for talking is done! Let's get this action going in the ring!"
Match Two ~ "The Four Horsemen" (Chris Jericho, CM Punk, & "Glorious Outlaws" {"Glorious" Bobby Roode & "Outlaw" James Storm}) with "Nature Boy" Ric Flair, AJ Lee, & Maryse Ouellet
"The Varsity Club" came out with its normal complement of wrestlers. Then, "The Horsemen" came out. Flair got on the mic and mocked Angle's group, alleging they didn't have a fourth team member and tried to goad Kurt into the match. Angle simply smiled and looked at the tron.

"The Varsity Club" came out with its normal complement of wrestlers. Then, "The Horsemen" came out. Flair got on the mic and mocked Angle's group, alleging they didn't have a fourth team member and tried to goad Kurt into the match. Angle simply smiled and looked at the tron.
The crowd went ballistic and instantly began a "Bro! Bro! Bro!" chant. Matt Riddle strode to the ring in his normal flamboyant manner. When he got into the ring, he kicked his flip flops into Flair's face and the match was on. During the match, Mauro Ranallo mentioned that Riddle attended and wrestled at East Stroudsburg University, thus fitting the "Varsity Club" profile. Riddle shined during the match. But, the story was around Brock Lesnar and CM Punk, where Brock has become the chaser and Punk the runner. Brock got his hands on Punk once or twice, but nothing of substance. Ultimately, the match fell apart when Kurt Angle chased Ric Flair into the ring. Chaos ensued and the referee threw it out.
Winners = no contest in 24:31
Regal: "Well, the outside parties spoiled that one!"
Ranallo: "We haven't seen Flair and Angle engage with one another in over a decade!"
Cornette: "Yeah, and we don't want to! Leave it to the full-timers!"
Regal: "Okay, fans, we'll take another break. When we return, Killer Kross will defend the Mid-Atlantic Championship in our television main event!"
Regal: "We're back! Fans, Killer Kross is set to defend the Mid-Atlantic Championship against Braun Strowman in main event action! Let's go to the ring!"
Match Three ~ NWA: Show Time Mid-Atlantic Championship ~ Killer Kross with "Modern Day Messiah" Seth Rollins, Kevin Steen, & Scarlett Bordeaux vs. "The Monster Among Men" Braun Strowman with "The Goddess" Alexa Bliss
Kross' entrance never fails to impress.

Match Three ~ NWA: Show Time Mid-Atlantic Championship ~ Killer Kross with "Modern Day Messiah" Seth Rollins, Kevin Steen, & Scarlett Bordeaux vs. "The Monster Among Men" Braun Strowman with "The Goddess" Alexa Bliss
Kross' entrance never fails to impress.
The match itself was pretty short lived. Kross had the advantage early on. But, Strowman came roaring back. When he had the enigmatic Kross on the ropes, the tide turned quickly. Rollins, Steen, and Scarlett surrounded Alexa Bliss. Cornered, Bliss tried to strike Scarlett, but Steen grabbed her arms and dragged her up the entrance ramp to the stage. He then forced her to the floor. Rollins set up for his "Atonement" ("Curb Stomp") and screamed at Braun to "Give up or else!" Once Strowman realized what was about to happen (he had been unaware up to that point), he quickly dropped to his knees and began to tap out onto the mat, yelling at the referee to stop the match. The official obliged.
Winner and STILL NWA: Show Time Mid-Atlantic Champion = Killer Kross by submission in 7:56
Regal: "What a dastardly path to victory!"
Rollins continued to ready for "The Atonement" though Braun had submitted. Before he could hit it, the lights went out. When they came back up, Rollins had disappeared. Steen let go of Bliss as Strowman steamed up the ramp. He grabbed Bliss and they went backstage. The lights went out again. When they came back on, Rollins was laid out on the stage. "The Fiend's" maniacal laugh then rang out all over the arena.

Regal: "Fans, for the second week in a row, 'The Fiend' has toyed with Seth Rollins! Clearly, he is sending a message that they are on yet another collision course! Fans, we are completely 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!"
The episode ended with "Doomsday" attending to their fallen leader.
