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 had an eventful episode last week. This week's promises to be no less exciting!"
Mauro Ranallo: "We have a huge main event! Commissioner Sting has signed a 'Three-Way, Twelve-Man" match! 'The Four Horsemen' will face off with 'Doomsday' and 'Undisputed Era!' That's going to be an epic encounter!"
Jim Cornette: "It'll be a great main event for sure. But, I want to talk about the elephant in the room! Speaking of 'The Four Horsemen,' you all saw us get robbed of the NWA World Tag Team Titles last week by those dirty, rotten, cheats! This isn't over between us, not by a longshot!"
Regal: "It was a travesty indeed, Jim. No question about it. 'The Revival' are owed a rematch, and here's hoping it comes quickly. Shifting gears a bit, let's run down the rest of the scheduled matches here tonight! Johnny Gargano and Candice LeRae are here and Johnny has promised an open challenge to anyone on the roster for the Cruiserweight Championship! But first, we'll begin with a Mid-Atlantic Tag Team Championship match! Let's go to the ring!"
Match One ~ NWA: Show Time Mid-Atlantic Tag Team Championship ~ Jimmy & Jey Uso with Trinity Uso vs. "Sons of Steel" (Boomer Payne & Brice Anthony) with Whiplash
This was a classic tag team battle. Both teams know tag team wrestling so well, they put on a clinic each and every time either duo is in the ring. "SoS" represent the longest-tenured tag team in the company. The Usos represent the longest tenured tag team in the NWA, since they've been together since birth, literally. Ultimately, it was unclear which team would mount the final offensive for victory. They were so evenly matched throughout. It took the women outside the ring getting involved to turn the tide. Trinity and Whiplash got involved in a scrum. That diverted Payne and Anthony's attention. They maintained the upper hand, though. The referee got poked in the eye inadvertently. At the same time, "SoS" had disposed of Jimmy and had Jey in position for "Steel Curtain." Trinity and Whiplash fought into the ring, where Trinity hit Whiplash with "Rear View," knocking her backward into Payne. Boomer dropped Jey at the precise time Brice was coming off the top for his vaunted "Flying Lariat." The move caught Boomer in the confusion. Brice was bounced out of the ring by a "Super Kick" from Jey. Jimmy mounted the top rope and sprang off with a "Superfly Leap" onto the prone Payne for the pin as the referee recovered to see the fall.
Winners and STILL NWA: Show Time Mid-Atlantic Tag Team Champions = the Usos by pinfall in 18:03
Regal: "What a way to start the program! Great win by Jimmy and Jey Uso!"
Ranallo: "Momma Mia! That was what a tag team match should look like! But, the interjection of Whiplash into the match directly cost 'Sons of Steel!'"
Cornette: "No question about it! Those two teams put on a great tag team match, until the women got involved! After that, it was 'Katie, bar the door!'"
Regal: "We have to take a commercial break. There's more great action when we return!"
As the episode returned to air, the scene was backstage, where "Sons of Steel" were berating Whiplash over her snafu that cost them in the match. Whiplash was trying to defend herself when the rest of "Forgotten Sons" appeared. Gunner, Jon Skyler, Jason Justice, and Mike Madden all tried to interject their opinions. Eventually, a faceoff ensued with "SoS" and Gunner on one side and Justice, Skyler, and Madden on the other. Whiplash tried to get cooler heads to prevail. Security ran in broke up the gathering before it became violent. The animosity was palpable.
Regal: "Well then! There's certainly trouble brewing in the camp of 'Forgotten Sons!'"
Ranallo: "You can say that again! It looked like the group might come to blows until Security intervened!"
Cornettel: "The group is floundering and has no leadership! That and the girl is causing problems among all the guys!"
Regal: "That's a slight stretch, but there could be some legitimacy to it. Okay Fans, let's go back to the ring for the Cruiserweight Championship open challenge!"
Match Two ~ NWA: Show Time Cruiserweight Championship ~ "Open Challenge" ~ Johnny "Wrestling" Gargano with "Poison Pixie" Candice LeRae vs. ?
Gargano and LeRae strode confidently to the ring.
Johnny Gargano: "Since I've already run through all the top contenders to this championship and no one remains to challenge me based on individual merit, I'm going to open the floor for any 'Joe Schmo' who wants to take a shot!"
Mauro Ranallo: "We have a huge main event! Commissioner Sting has signed a 'Three-Way, Twelve-Man" match! 'The Four Horsemen' will face off with 'Doomsday' and 'Undisputed Era!' That's going to be an epic encounter!"
Jim Cornette: "It'll be a great main event for sure. But, I want to talk about the elephant in the room! Speaking of 'The Four Horsemen,' you all saw us get robbed of the NWA World Tag Team Titles last week by those dirty, rotten, cheats! This isn't over between us, not by a longshot!"

Match Two ~ NWA: Show Time Cruiserweight Championship ~ "Open Challenge" ~ Johnny "Wrestling" Gargano with "Poison Pixie" Candice LeRae vs. ?
Gargano and LeRae strode confidently to the ring.
Johnny Gargano: "Since I've already run through all the top contenders to this championship and no one remains to challenge me based on individual merit, I'm going to open the floor for any 'Joe Schmo' who wants to take a shot!"
Angel Garza came to the ring to surprising fanfare. He was wearing the NWA: SWAT Championship he still owns and will be allowed to defend per the terms of his trade. Gargano was flabbergasted. He protested that Garza wasn't on the roster, but those protests fell on deaf ears. Garza has developed a cult like following around the NWA and the fans quickly took up with him in NWA: Show Time. The match itself was stellar. It only lasted twelve minutes, but it was one of the best matches at that length you'll see anywhere. Both men had their moments to shine, trading moves back and forth like the world class sub-heavyweights they are. Garza had Gargano right where he wanted him. He hit the "Wing Clipper" and Johnny was all but done for. He covered and the referee (along with the crowd in unison) began to count. At two, Candice jumped in and began to smack at Garza's back and neck to break up the count. The referee immediately signaled for the bell.
Winner = Angel Garza by disqualification in 12:28 (Gargano retains)
Regal: "Candice LeRae absolutely saved Johnny Gargano's title reign!"
Ranallo: "No question about it! 'Misses Wrestling' paid dividends at ringside, playing spoiler to the debuting Angel Garza!"
Cornette: "Yeah, Candice LeRae made the difference all right. But, she shouldn't have been out there in the first place! She's not a manager or a valet! Gargano uses her as a weapon!"
Regal: "Nevertheless, she kept the Cruiserweight Championship around his waist. But, you know we haven't seen the last of the impressive Angel Garza! Fans, we'll take another break. When we return, that absolutely huge main event is on deck!"
Regal: "We're back! Fans, it's go time for three of the premier factions in all of wrestling!"
Match Three ~ "Three-Way Twelve-Man Tag Team" match ~ "The Four Horsemen" (Chris Jericho, CM Punk, and "Glorious Outlaws" {"Glorious" Bobby Roode & "Outlaw" James Storm}) with "Nature Boy" Ric Flair, AJ Lee, and Maryse Ouellet vs. "Doomsday" ("Modern Day Messiah" Seth Rollins, Killer Kross, Kevin Steen, & Austin Theory with Scarlett) vs. "Undisputed Era" (Adam Cole, Roderick Strong, Kyle O'Reilly, & Bobby Fish) with Dr. Britt Baker, DMD
As full as the ring apron was with the talent itself, the ringside area was a chaotic scene as well with all the seconds. Commissioner Sting came out quickly and put a stop to that, banning everyone not in the match from ringside. Everyone in the ring pitched a fit, advocating for their entourage, to no avail. After ringside was cleared, the match ensued. It was like a war zone with all the men surrounding the squared circle. It became a tactical battle very quickly, as the first fall scored would win it. Multiple times, pins and submissions were broken up. Bobby Roode had a nifty move where he swooped in and kept Austin Theory from tapping out to Kyle O'Reilly's "Kneebar." Three-quarters through the match, "The Varsity Club's" Brock Lesnar made a surprise appearance and chased CM Punk to the backstage area. This was followed by "The Revival" coming through the crowd and running after "Glorious Outlaws." With no help around him, World Champion Chris Jericho was the lone wolf on his team. Realizing this, he shrugged his shoulders and left the match voluntarily. This left "UE" and "Doomsday" to fight it out in an eight-man match. They did just that, pummeling one another with breathtaking offense. Finally, it was evident "Doomsday" was pulling out ahead in the race to the finish. Steen, Kross, and Theory took out O'Reilly, Fish, and Strong. Cole was in the ring on his hands and knees, as Rollins readied for "The Atonement." As he began to run toward Cole, the lights went out. When they came up again, Rollins was out and Cole's arm was draped over him. The referee dropped down and made the count before "Doomsday" could break up the pin.
Winners = "Undisputed Era" by pinfall in 23:46
Them the ominous laugh rang out.
Regal: "Bray Wyatt has struck, once again outsmarting Seth Rollins!"
Ranallo: "And, Adam Cole just pinned the Heavyweight Champion!"
Cornette: "We'll never know what manner of sorcery Bray Wyatt uses to pull off these things week after week, but they're effective!"
Regal: "No doubt about it! Fans, that's all the time we have 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.
As the episode was going off the air, the lights went out again. Then, a single spotlight shined on the entrance way, where Bray Wyatt's signature lantern glowed on the stage.
