Before the traditional episode opening, we saw Security footage (dated 2/1/2021) of WALTER walking into the NWA: Show Time private fitness center in Charlotte, North Carolina. In the parking lot, he was attacked by "The Four Horsemen" and left laying. From there, the episode had its normal opening montage.
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 a night full of 'Steel Cage' matches!"
Mauro Ranallo: "Yes, we do! It's 'Samoan Dynasty' and 'Suzuki-gun' it two separate tag team matches, one with the Mid-Atlantic Tag Team Championship on the line!"
Jim Cornette: "And, we just saw the footage from yesterday, where WALTER was attacked by 'The Horsemen' on his way to a workout! Once he recovered, WALTER called Sting and demanded an eight-man tag tonight! The Commissioner has granted it! 'The Horsemen' versus 'Imperium' is going to be our main event, and it'll be in a cage as well!"
Regal: "What a night! We'll be bringing it to you with limited commercial interruption, so that these three battles can be seen in all their glory! Without further adieu, let's go to the ring!"
Match One ~ "Steel Cage" match ~ "Samoan Dynasty" (Jacob & Sefa Fatu) vs. "Suzuki-gun" ("Murderhawk" Lance Archer & Minoru Suzuki)
Archer and Suzuki jumped the Fatu cousins on their way to the ring. They threw Jacob into the ringside barricade, injuring his shoulder. Sefa was beaten down with a steel chair. Archer and Suzuki then slung their opponents into the ring and jump started the match. After quite a few minutes of damage on Sefa, he got the tag to big Jacob. With only one good arm, Jacob was still am imposing figure. In the end, Archer and Minoru had a miscommunication that allowed Suzuki to be prone on the mat. Jacob hit his "Springboard Moonsault" for the win.
Winners = "Samoan Dynasty" by pinfall in 11:36
The remainder of the episode will not include commentary for the sake of brevity.
After a break, it was onto the next big match.
Match Two ~ NWA: Show Time Mid-Atlantic Tag Team Championship ~ "Jimmy & Jey Uso with Trinity Uso vs. "Suzuki-gun" (Davey Boy Smith, Jr. & Zack Sabre, Jr.)
This was one of the classic tag team matches in recent memory, especially considering the steel cage surroundings. The violence perpetrated during this encounter was epic. All four men tore into each other like grown men, no quarter asked or given. The referee got knocked down during the foray near the end. A "Double Super Kick" took Smith down. Then, the twins went all the way to the top of the cage for stereo "Superfly Leaps." Smith was flattened and was done. But, there was no referee to count. Jimmy went to rouse the official. With Jimmy's back turned, Sabre went quickly to the top and hit Jey in the back of the head with a "Double Stomp." He rolled Davey on top of Jey, took out Jimmy, and the referee crawled over and made the count.
Winners and NEW NWA: Show Time Mid-Atlantic Tag Team Champions = "Suzuki-gun" by pinfall in 18:44
After the match, Archer and Suzuki ran in to celebrate with the new champions. Trinity rushed in to check on her husband and brother-in-law.
After the final break, the main event was ready to go.
Match Three ~ "The Four Horsemen" (Chris Jericho, CM Punk, and "Glorious Outlaws" ("Glorious" Bobby Roode & "Outlaw" James Storm) with "Nature Boy" Ric Flair, Maryse Ouellet, and AJ Lee vs. "Imperium" ("Ring General" WALTER, Fabian Aichner, Marcel Barthel, & Alexander Wolfe)
Before the match began, Commissioner Sting came out and made it a "No Disqualification" match. This was a melee from the opening bell. With no traditional tag team restraints, it did not resemble anything like a regular match. This benefited "The Horsemen," who are nefarious cheats. The more technical working "Imperium" was out of sorts for a time. They understood that a fight it was, so it was a fight Jericho and company got. In the end, WALTER destroyed Jericho with a stiff "Powerbomb." The pinning combination came when Flair snuck in his patented alligator shoe, which was used by Jericho to jab WALTER in the eye. Chris then hit a "Codebreaker" for the win.
Winners = "The Four Horsemen" by pinfall in 23:02
Regal: "What a match and what an hour! 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!"
