Before the traditional episode opening began, the scene was backstage, where "The KliQ" was decimating most of the Legends Division stars on hand with lead pipes and other weapons. Christian Cage was thrown into a production case, injuring his shoulder. The group then laughed and walked off. Edge ran into view afterward. He was knelt over Cage as the normal episode intro aired.
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'll find out tonight what match represents NWA: Show Time at Spring Stampede!
Mauro Ranallo: "It's an exciting time! I can't wait for that announcement and for the card we have on tap tonight!"
Jim Cornette: "That's right, Mauro! 'The Varsity Club' faces 'Bollywood Boyz' in a Tag League match! Plus, our main event will have Angel Garza defending the Cruiserweight Championship against his cousin Humberto Carrillo!"
Regal: "Indeed! Garza went on social media to issue an open challenge for the title, and his very own cousin answered and will be here tonight! But first, it's Legends Division time! Let's go to hostess Cathy Kelley!"
Cathy Kelley: "Thank you, William! Fans, it's time for our weekly Legends Division match, and we're not going to disappoint! Edge has challenged Hall and Nash of 'The KliQ' to a tag team match! After that heinous attack by 'The KliQ,' his best friend Christian is out with a shoulder injury! Who will he get to tag with him?! Let's go to our commentary team for the call!"
Jim Ross: "Edge may have painted himself into a corner her tonight! He's made a tag team challenge without a partner!"
Jerry Lawler: "Edge's mouth may have written a check his body can't cash!"
Tony Schiavone: "Here's hoping the 'Rated R Superstar' has a plan!"
Kevin Nash and Scott Hall came out with big smiles on their faces. Edge came halfway down the entrance ramp and glared into the ring. He yelled out, "You think Christian is the only friend I have?!"
The arena erupted when this entrance video aired.
Charly Caruso: "Tonight Shelton, you and Brock will face the Singh brothers, also known as 'Bollywood Boyz,' in the Tag League. Any predictions?"
Shelton Benjamin: "We're going to do what we always do...send them on a one-way trip."
Caruso: "A one-way trip? To where, might I ask?"
Brock Lesnar: "'Suplex' City!"
Match Two ~ "Minnesota Stretching Crew" ("The Beast" Brock Lesnar & "Gold Standard" Shelton Benjamin) with "Olympic Hero" Kurt Angle vs. "Bollywood Boyz" (Samir & Sunil Singh)
This was a glorified squash match. The Cruiserweight brothers were no match for the blue-chip Minnesota Golden Gopher products. Brock tossed in six "German Suplexes," making sure to spread the love evenly between the brothers. This one was over pretty quickly, after an "F-5" and "Springboard Shooting Star Press" combo.
Winners = "Minnesota Stretching Crew" by pinfall in 6:42
Regal: "What an imposing victory for Lesnar and Benjamin, who join 'The revival' as the only unbeatens thus far! Fans, here are the updated records of each team to this point!"

Regal: "Okay fans, we need to go to break once again. When we return, we'll hear from the Commissioner and our big main event is still ahead!"
Regal: "We're back! It's almost main event time! But first, let's take you to some words from Commissioner Sting concerning Spring Stampede!"
The scene shifted to the office of Commissioner Sting.
Sting: "The fans have waited patiently to hear which match will represent NWA: Show Time at Spring Stampede on April twenty-fifth. Well, wait no longer. Since the event is in Dallas this year, our sister promotion NWA: Femme Fatales has decided to go with some stipulations that were staples of Texas wrestling lore. Well, I think that's a great idea, so I'm going to follow suit. The NWA: Show Time representative match will be for the Heavyweight Championship, as Seth Rollins defends against 'The Fiend' in a 'Texas Death' match! The rules are simple: it's no disqualification, no countout, no time limit, anything goes. If a fall is scored, the participants have a thirty-second rest period. Then, a ten-count begins. If the loser of the fall cannot answer that ten-count, the match is over. Good luck, gentlemen."
Regal: "Wow! What an announcement! A 'Texas Death' match for the Heavyweight Championship! That will be a colossal fight! Okay fans, it's time for our main event! Angel Garza will defend the Cruiserweight Championship against his own cousin, Humberto Carrillo!"

Match One ~ "The KliQ" ("Big Sexy" Kevin Nash & "The Bad Guy" Scott Hall) vs. "Rated R Superstar" Edge & The Rock
Hall and Nash were shocked to see The Rock come walking to the ring. Edge and The Rock dominated the early going. But, Edge got caught in a double team and was the focus of offense the bulk of the contest. He finally got a tag into The Rock and the place went ballistic once again. Rock went to town on the former "nWo" leaders, pulverizing them both. Hall ate a "Spinebuster" and it looked like it would be over, as Rock signaled for "The People's Elbow." He went for the cover as Edge nailed a "Spear" to take out Nash. Before the third count, Shawn Michaels dragged the referee out of the ring, which caused the DQ.
Winners = Edge & The Rock by disqualification in 11:10
"The KliQ" hit the ring and laid a beat down onto Edge and Rock before leaving rignside.
Regal: "Wow! What a mugging after the match was over! Fans, we'll take a break. When we return, we'll have Tag League action!"
Regal "We're back! Let's go to Charly Caruso, who is standing by with members of 'The Varsity Club,' Brock Lesnar and Shelton Benjamin!"
