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! Guys, 'Summer Sizzle' is this coming Saturday!"
Mauro Ranallo: "All seven pay-per-view matches have been announced, as well as the pre-show match that should be a brawl between Tessa Blanchard and Jordynne Grace!"
Jim Cornette: "Ah yes, but I am most excited to see 'The Revival' rip 'Glorious Outlaws' limb from limb and retain the NWA World tag Team Championship!"
Regal: "That will be the co-main event, along with Chris Jericho defending the World Championship against Edge in a 'Last Man Standing' match! It's going to be a top shelf event! You don't want to miss it!"

Seth Rollins came out flanked by "Doomsday."
Seth Rollins: "Last week, my disciple Kevin and I prepared for war. Because his originally scheduled opponent suddenly fell ill at the hands of one Brodie Lee, Kevin was going to miss out on an opportunity to bring an important piece of hardware into our fold. So, being the benevolent messiah that I am, I stepped in to give him that opportunity for a larger prize. While I may have triumphed, I was impressed at the tenacity, heart, and effort shown by Kevin. So, he has solidified his place on 'Team Doomsday' for the six-person tag team match at 'Summer Sizzle.' The question is, who will his and Scarlett's teammate be? That will be determined tonight, when 'Doomsday' has another trial by fire. Young Austin Theory will go one-on-one with Killer Kross. The winner will complete the team. And, just to make things more competitive, Kross will wager his Mid-Atlantic Championship. Now, Bray Wyatt, Aleister Black, Maria Kanellis, you interrupted our moment last week with an attempt at intimidation. Trust me, we were not amused, nor were we frightened. There will be restitution to pay. 'Doomsday' is coming. Run for the hills."
Regal: "Wow! An ominous proclamation by Seth Rollins. And, we'll have yet another match involving 'Doomsday' members going one-on-one, as Killer Kross puts the Mid-Atlantic Championship on the line against Austin Theory! Well, also on the program, Kota Ibushi gets his rematch for the Cruiserweight Championship against Johnny Gargano! And, our main event will see Braun Strowman defend the Intercontinental Championship versus NWA: CMLL's AJ Styles! Fans, it's a night of champions! Let's get it started!"
Match One ~ NWA: Show Time Cruiserweight Championship ~ Johnny "Wrestling" Gargano with "Poison Pixie" Candice LeRae vs. Kota Ibushi

Match One ~ NWA: Show Time Cruiserweight Championship ~ Johnny "Wrestling" Gargano with "Poison Pixie" Candice LeRae vs. Kota Ibushi
Winner and STILL NWA: Show Time Cruiserweight Champion = Johnny Gargano by submission in 21:33
Regal: "Johnny Gargano gets the win, but not without help from his wife!"
Ranallo: "When Candice LeRae nailed Kota Ibushi in the shoulder with the timekeeper's bell, that was the beginning of the end!"
Cornette: "I've said it before and I'll say it again, that woman should not be roaming around outside the ring! No good can come from it! Ask Kota Ibushi!"
Regal: "Indeed. Fans, we need to take a quick break. We'll be back with the Mid-Atlantic Championship match next!"
Regal: "We're back! Our Japanese correspondent Junko Suzuki has caught up with Kota Ibushi for a quick word following that controversial loss to Johnny Gargano."
Junko Suzuki: "I am here with Kota Ibushi. Kota, Kyandisu ReRē ga kanshō shite kata o fushō shita nochi, Kurūzā-kyū Chanpion ni naru tame no nyūsatsu o ushinatta tokorodesu. Anata no kangae wa nanidesu ka (Kota, you just lost you bid to become Cruiserweight Champion again after Candice LeRae interfered and injured your shoulder. What are your thoughts)?"
Kota Ibushi: "Gakkari wa watashi no kimochi o kabā shi hajimemasen. Kokorogaitamu. Shikashi, korega hontō no messējidesu. Kon'ya maketara watashi wa kurūzā-kyū o eien ni sari, NWA: ShōTaimu de hebī-kyū ni naru koto o yakusoku shimashita. Watashi wa yakusoku o mamoru hitodesu. Sore ga watashi no saigo no kurūzā-kyū no shiaideshita. Dōmo arigatōgozaimashita (Disappointed does not begin to cover how I feel. I am heartbroken. But, here is the real message. I promised myself that, if I lost tonight, I would leave the Cruiserweight division forever and become a heavyweight in NWA: Show Time. I am a man of my word. That was my last Cruiserweight match. Thank you very much)."
Suzuki: "William, back to you."
Regal: "Kota Ibushi will leave the Cruiserweight division and become a full-time heavyweight?! Wow!
Ranallo: "Are you kidding me?!"
Cornette: "That's an upgrade to the heavyweight division and the cruiserweights just lost one of their standard bearers!"
Regal: "They sure did! Fans, let's go to the ring for Killer Kross versus Austin Theory!"
Match Two ~ NWA: Show Time Mid-Atlantic Championship ~ Killer Kross with Scarlett vs. Austin Theory with "Modern Day Messiah" Seth Rollins & Kevin Steen
Theory looked to impress his master by using his athleticism to thwart the power advantage Kross would have over him. Killer was methodical, while Austin looked to speed up things to throw the champion off his game. It worked for a time. Kross became more and more frustrated. Eventually, the experience of Kross found its way into the mix. He took over against his younger opponent and wore him down. Kross finally looked in the "Kross Jacket Choke." Austin fought to get free, but began to fade. He never tapped out, but he went limp and the referee called for the bell.
Winner and STILL NWA: Show Time Mid-Atlantic Champion = Killer Kross by referee stoppage in 19:11
After the bell, Kross immediately began the process to awaken Theory, then hugged him as Rollins, Steen, and Scarlett entered the ring and stood together.
Regal: "Austin Theory put up a great fight, but it was not to be! Killer Kross retains!"
Ranallo: "Killer Kross lives up to his name once again and join his beau and Kevin Steen to team together against 'The Fiend,' Aleister Black, and Maria!"
Cornette: "That should be a wild match for sure!"
Regal: "It should be a real war! Fans, we'll take another break. Our big main event is up next!"
Regal: "We're back! Our main event is up next. Braun Strowman will defend the NWA Intercontinental Championship against AJ Styles of NWA: CMLL! A strange situation has happened over the last few days since the NWA Board of Governors announced the match. AJ petitioned the Board to waive the disqualification and countout rule for this title match. He reasoned that he didn't want to take the chance that Braun would intentionally leave the ring or get himself disqualified to retain the title. The Board initially refused the request, but Braun took exception to AJ on social media and demanded the stipulation be allowed. He simply wants AJ Styles in the ring. So, we'll see that match in mere moments! But first, the challenger is standing by with Cathy Kelley."
Cathy Kelley: "I am here with AJ Styles, Karl Anderson, and Luke Gallows, who comprise 'The OC.' AJ, you have a shot at Braun Strowman and the Intercontinental Championship. You've also demanded that the disqualification rule be waived for this match. Can you explain why you think Braun would intentionally get himself disqualified or counted out to retain the title when he's been nothing but a fighting champion?"
AJ Styles: "Because Braun Strowman has never been in the ring with the caliber of wrestler that I am! I am the best wrestler on this planet and that big goof can't hang with me! I know that, when the going gets tough, he'll bail, just like he bailed on his girlfriend Alexa Bliss in their tag team match on this show a few weeks ago! So, I put measures in place to make sure I get a fair shot! And, I promise you, I'll walk out of here as Intercontinental Champion!"
Regal: "Strong words from a confident AJ Styles. Let's see if he can back them up!"
Match Three ~ NWA Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship ~ "The Monster Among men" Braun Strowman with "The Goddess" Alexa Bliss vs. "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles with "The OC" ("Machine Gun" Karl Anderson & Luke Gallows)
Regal: "Johnny Gargano gets the win, but not without help from his wife!"
Ranallo: "When Candice LeRae nailed Kota Ibushi in the shoulder with the timekeeper's bell, that was the beginning of the end!"
Cornette: "I've said it before and I'll say it again, that woman should not be roaming around outside the ring! No good can come from it! Ask Kota Ibushi!"

Match Three ~ NWA Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship ~ "The Monster Among men" Braun Strowman with "The Goddess" Alexa Bliss vs. "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles with "The OC" ("Machine Gun" Karl Anderson & Luke Gallows)
Winner and NEW NWA Intercontinental Heavyweight Champion = AJ Styles by disqualification in 10:43
Regal: "That was an absolute miscarriage of justice! AJ Styles took advantage of the chair in Braun Strowman's hands to get him disqualified when he never used the chair on AJ!"
Ranallo: "AJ Styles just won the Intercontinental Championship by playing possum!"
Cornette: "Like it or not, it was genius! He used the rules to his advantage! But, the bigger story here is that Alexa Bliss is the one who gave Braun the chair that lost him the title!"
Regal: "And, we see them arguing about that now! There is definitely tension between the members of 'Team Little Big!' Fans, I'm afraid we've run out of time for this week. Please join us again next Tuesday on TBS for more of the Show Time Power Hour! And, don;t forget to order 'Summer Sizzle' on pay-per-view this Saturday night at eight PM! It's going to be a night to remember! For Mauro Ranallo and Jim Cornette, I'm William Regal, saying ta ta for now!"
The episode ended with Bliss and Strowman continuing to argue in the ring.
