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, this situation with the Tag Team Championship scene has gotten out of hand!"
Mauro Ranallo: "You're telling me! For the last month, we've had match after match marred with controversy and outside interference!"
Jim Cornette: "I believe I can speak as an authority on the subject since my guys are the reigning Champions! We're sick and tired of all the interference from outside parties! Enough is enough! Commissioner Sting needs to step in and do something!"
Regal: "And, do something he will! In fact, we received word just before we went on air that Commissioner Sting will be here to make an announcement concerning the Tag Team Championship as well as the NWA World Heavyweight Championship, currently held by Chris Jericho! Also, on the program, Seth Rollins will finally defend the Heavyweight Championship again as he takes on the challenge of big Mikael Judas! But first, let's throw it over to our Ring Announcer JoJo Offerman!"
JoJo Offerman: "Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome NWA: Show Time Commissioner Sting."

But first, let's throw it over to our Ring Announcer JoJo Offerman!"
JoJo Offerman: "Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome NWA: Show Time Commissioner Sting."
Sting: "I'm going to get right to the point, because we have some great wrestling to get to. For weeks, the NWA: Show Time Tag Team Championship situation has continued to get out of hand. Every time we have a title match or two contending teams get together, the finishes are killed by outside interference. That will stop! I will not have the integrity of our titles in jeopardy because of the actions of a few. There now are four teams in the mix who have a vested interest in what I am about to say. 'The Mighty Don't Kneel,' 'Doomsday,' and 'War Machine' all have made claims as top contenders. Well, tonight they get to prove it. Those three teams will battle in a 'Triple Threat' match! The winner goes on to face 'The Revival' next week for the titles! And, if there is outside interference tonight or next week, the offender will be fined and suspended! And Jim (Cornette), if your men get involved tonight, they'll be fined, suspended, and stripped of the Tag Team Championship! Now, onto other business. The NWA World Heavyweight Championship is scheduled to be defended in the main event of the next NWA branded pay-per-view, SuperBrawl. To that end, I have the following announcement--NWA: Show Time has been granted this match, meaning the opponent for Chris Jericho will come from this company. That opponent will be known by the end of the night, when WALTER faces Kota Ibushi one-on-one with the winner getting the shot at SuperBrawl!"
NWA World Heavyweight Champion Chris Jericho came out smugly.
Chris Jericho: "Now, wait just a minute! You're just going to come out here and tell me who I'm facing for the World Title?! I don't think so! I'm 'Le Champion!' I make the rules!"
Sting: "Actually, Chris, you don't. You defend the title against whomever the Board of Governors deems fit. So, you might want to sit back in that cushy dressing room of yours and watch the main event, because the winner of that match WILL be your opponent in February!"
Jericho pitched a fit as Sting's music played and he left ringside.
Regal: "Well, it seems that Commissioner Sting is in rare form tonight! He just put the World Heavyweight Champion in his place! But, what blockbuster announcements he made about this week's episode! We already knew the Heavyweight Championship was on the line, but these other two matches will make this a truly remarkable episode!"
Cornette: "While I respect Sting as the Commissioner of this company, I don't necessarily like the way he addressed me!"
Regal: "Indeed. Well Jim, he laid down the law, though. Dash and Dawson had better not make an appearance in the 'Triple Threat,' or they'll lose the titles before they can defend them! With that in mind, that three-way tag team match will be up first! Let's go to the ring!"
Match One ~ "Triple Threat" match ~ "War Machine" ("WarBeard" Hanson & Raymond "Death" Rowe) vs. "The Mighty Don't Kneel" (Shane Haste & Mikey Nicholls) vs. "Doomsday" (Killer Kross & Kevin Owens with Austin Theory and Scarlett)
This ended up being a particularly brutal and grueling match. All six men beat each other unmercifully. After so many twists and turns, back and forth action, and various moments of violent output, the finish came swiftly and surprisingly. "TMDK" hit their "Tank Buster" finish on Rowe, then got powdered to the floor by Steen and Kross. Kross stole the pin.
Winners = "Doomsday" by pinfall in 17:23
Regal: "Killer Kross and Kevin Steen stole the title shot!"
Ranallo: "Well Jim, you now know who'll you'll face next week!"
Cornette: "Rephrase, Mauro! Now, we know who we'll beat next week!"
Regal: "All right, fans, we need to take a break. The Heavyweight Championship match is on deck! Can 'Doomsday' go two-for-two?! We'll find out next!"
Regal: "We're back! Seth Rollins is about to defend the Heavyweight Championship against 'Priest of Punishment' Mikael Judas! Let's go to Cathy Kelley, who is with the challenger and his advisor Skyler Moon!"
Cathy Kelley: "I am here with Mikael Judas and Skyler Moon. Mikael, you are set to challenge 'Modern Day Messiah' Seth Rollins for the Heavyweight Championship. Do you have any thoughts on this match?"
Mikael Judas: "May God have mercy on his soul."
Skyler Moon: "Hmm...may he rest in peace."
Regal: "There you have it! Ominous words from the challenger!"
Match Two ~ NWA: Show Time Heavyweight Championship ~ "Modern Day Messiah" Seth Rollins vs. "Priest of Punishment" Mikael Judas with "Priestess" Skyler Moon
This match defied all expectations, but in much a different way than one would have thought. Judas glared at Rollins, who looked intimidated. Judas stepped right into the face of the champion, looking down upon him from his 6'8" vantage point. As Rollins began to look intently into his eyes, Judas inexplicably laid down. Rollins covered him for the pinfall.
Winner and STILL NWA: Show Time Heavyweight Champion = Seth Rollins by pinfall in 0:36
Regal: "What in the world is going on?! Mikael Judas just laid down for Seth Rollins to get the free pinfall!"
Ranallo: "That wasn't even 'Finger Poke of Doom' levels of treachery! He just hit the deck!"
Cornette: "Yep, Mikael Judas just did the favor for Seth Rollins and swerved us all!"
Rollins celebrated as Judas was embraced by Theory and Scarlett. Moon looked shocked, as if she was not in on the collusion. She jumped up into the ring and confronted Judas, who looked at her deadpan. As she continued to berate him, he finally clutched her by the throat and tossed her up and over the top rope to the floor with one hand. "Doomsday" left her crumpled on the floor as they walked triumphantly away.
Regal: "Oh my! Not only did Mikael Judas align with 'Doomsday,' but he has unceremoniously gotten rid of Skyler Moon as well! Fans, we'll take a break and get her some medical attention. Our big World Championship contender's match is up next!"
Regal: "We're back! As announced at the top of the hour by Commissioner Sting, WALTER will square off with Kota Ibushi for the right to challenge Chris Jericho for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship at SuperBrawl! This should be an instant classic!"
Match Three ~ "Ring General" WALTER vs. Kota Ibushi
This match was an intense thing of beauty. Both men used their full arsenals to punish one another, but kept the match within the confines of a scientific encounter. The European and Japanese Strong Styles are similar in their philosophies, but vastly different in their approaches. While Ibushi employed stiff kicks and strikes, WALTER used his peerless chops and offense to set up submission attempts. In the end, Ibushi went for the "Double Stomp" off the top and rolled through when WALTER moved. The big Austrian then turned Ibushi inside out with an insane "Running Lariat." He immediately followed up with a "Rear Naked Choke" and grapevined his long legs around the torso of Kota until he passed out.
Winner = WALTER by referee stoppage in 26:19
Regal: "Oh my! What a win for WALTER, who will go to SuperBrawl to face Chris Jericho! That was an early match of the year candidate! Both men fought their hearts out! Fans, we are all out of time. 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 went off air, WALTER was celebrating in the ring. Chris Jericho appeared on the entrance ramp and the two had a distanced stare down.
