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 big episode scheduled for tonight!"
Mauro Ranallo: "William, big is right! We have a huge announcement concerning the Tag League! Plus, Angel Garza will defend the Cruiserweight Championship!"
Jim Cornette: "Yeah, the Tag League has been graced with the presence of 'The Revival,' but I'll save that talk for later! I'm interested in the first match of the night myself!"
Regal: "That's right, Jim. As always, our Legends Division takes center stage at the top of the hour! Let's go to Hostess Cathy Kelley!"
Cathy Kelley: "Thank you, William! Our match this week should not disappoint! A classic rivalry from the nineties will be revisited, as the two greatest Smoky Mountain Wrestling tag teams ever will do battle! Let's go to our esteemed commentary team!"
Jim Ross: "One of the bloodiest and fiercest feuds in Smoky Mountain history was between 'The Rock-n-Roll Express' and Jim Cornette's 'Heavenly Bodies!' That saga will see another chapter unfold here tonight!"
Jerry Lawler: "The wrestlers may be older, but the blood still boils with anger for one another!"
Tony Schiavone: "This should be a clinic in good, old fashioned tag team wrestling!"
Match One ~ "The Rock-n-Roll Express" (Ricky Morton & Robert Gibson) vs. "The Heavenly Bodies" ("Sweet" Stan Lane & Dr. Tom Prichard)
This match immediately took us back to circa 1993. Both teams renewed their intense hatred for this match. Cornette was his sneaky best, getting in a tennis racket shot on the ribs of Gibson. It was that same racket that did Cornette's men in. The referee was trying to break up a corner battle between Lane and Gibson, while Prichard took Cornette's racket and went to whack Morton with it. Ricky keenly "Dropkicked" the foreign object right into Prichard's head. Tom and the racket went flying. As Prichard stumbled back to his feet, Morton hit a "Tennessee Destroyer" for the pin.
Winners = "The Rock-n-Roll Express" by pinfall in 11:03
After the break, it was time for Angel Garza's Cruiserweight Title open challenge.
Garza entered the ring flanked by Eve Torres. He smiled as he awaited his opponent. Then, this entrance played on the tron:
Regal: "Draw your attention to the screen, fans. Here are the final standings of the Tag League for Blocks A and B."
A graphic was shown on screen:
Block A
"The Revival" (8-0)
The Usos (7-1)
"Four Horsemen" (Chris Jericho & CM Punk) (5-3)
"Villain Incorporated" (4-4)
"Bollywood Boyz" (0-8)
"Varsity Club" (Matt Riddle & Jake Hager) (4-4)
"War Machine" (Hanson & Raymond Rowe) (5-3)
Aleister Black & Ricochet (6-2)
Block B
"The Mighty Don't Kneel" (7-1)
"Suzuki-gun" (Davey Boy Smith, Jr. & Zack Sabre, Jr.) (6-2)
"Varsity Club" (Brock Lesnar & Shelton Benjamin) (7-1)
Shawn & Ariyah Daivari (3-5)
Nick Aldis & Johnny Gargano (4-3-1)
"Sons of Steel" (5-3)
"British Strong Style/Moustache Mountain" (5-3)
Kota Ibushi & Pete Dunne (5-2-1)
Regal: "As you can see, 'The Revival' impressively went undefeated to earn their spot in next week's finals. Good show, Jim!"
Cornette: "Did you expect anything less, guys?"
Ranallo: "I expected Dash and Dawson to be in the finals. But, I don't think anyone in the world expected any team to go undefeated with this field! That's insanely impressive!"
Regal: "Indeed. Well, Block B has a bit of a conundrum, as 'TMDK' and 'Varsity Club' both finished with seven and one records. Now, the traditional tiebreaker would lie with Brock and Shelton, because they won the head-to-head match by countout. However, neither team was satisfied with a tiebreaker conclusion. Brock, in particular, said he wants to win the block with a resounding victory. So, Commissioner Sting has sanctioned one more match in the block, to be contested right now! 'The Mighty Don't Kneel' will battle 'The Minnesota Stretching Crew' in our main event! Let's go to the ring!"
Match Three ~ "The Mighty Don't Kneel" (Shane Haste & Mikey Nicholls) vs. "The Minnesota Stretching Crew/Varsity Club" ("The Beast" Brock Lesnar & "Gold Standard" Shelton Benjamin) with "Olympic Hero" Kurt Angle
This was strong style, smash mouth wrestling. Several trips to "Suplex City" were booked during the battle. Lesnar was dominant as usual. Benjamin was fluid on the mat and in the air. Haste and Nicholls relied on their tandem offense when moments arose. Ultimately, these two teams delivered the goods. Lesnar unintentionally posted himself and was taken out. Benjamin got double-teamed. After a "Tank Buster," it was over.
Winners = "TMDK" by pinfall in 26:49
Regal: "Haste and Nicholls have done it! They will go on to face 'The Revival' next week with the Tag League title on the line! Fans, we're out of time 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!"

After the break, it was time for Angel Garza's Cruiserweight Title open challenge.
Garza entered the ring flanked by Eve Torres. He smiled as he awaited his opponent. Then, this entrance played on the tron:
Alexa Bliss came skipping out with a big smile on her face. Garza and Torres protested.
Angel Garza: "Hey, wait a minute! I didn't sign up to wrestle a woman! I don't fight the ladies. I love them!"
Alexa Bliss: "Oh what, Angel? You don't wanna play with me? Very bad decision. You'll have to pay for that one. The last time I checked, the Cruiserweight rules state you can't weigh more than two hundred twenty-five pounds. I'm a hundred pounds less than that. So, I qualify. You made an open challenge, so it's time to play. If you don;t want to play with me, I'll just have some fun with your girlfriend."
Garza took issue with that statement and agreed to the match. Once the bell rang, he took advantage of his size and strength to overwhelm Bliss. But then, she began to use some of the mysticism that she inherited from "The Fiend." This kept her in the match. Eventually, Garza got the upper hand again and went for his "Wing Clipper." Before he could hit the move, the lights went out. When they came back up, "The Fiend" Was at ringside right beside Torres. She yelped and ran to the other side of the ring. Garza's attention was drawn away from the match in defense of his woman. This allowed Bliss to recover, and she scooped Angel up in a "Schoolboy Roll" for the surprise pinfall.
Winner and NEW NWA: Show Time Cruiserweight Champion = Alexa Bliss by pinfall in 10:09
