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 as always are Mauro Ranallo and Jim Cornette! Men, it's going to be a monumental night of action!"
Mauro Ranallo: "You said it, William! Tonight, we'll find out who challenges Seth Rollins at Great American Bash!"
Jim Cornette: "And, in a rare occurrence, we're going to pack four big matches into one hour!"
Regal: "That's right! To ensure that we can fit four matches into an hour program, all of tonight's clashes are carrying a fifteen-minute time limit. So, the pressure's on! In fact, there are three ringside judges in place scoring the tournament matches just in case one reaches the time limit. They will declare a winner based on points scored! As an added attraction, and to give the fans as much action as possible, tonight's episode will be seen with almost no commercial interruption! So, let's go to Cathy Kelley to get us started with our Legends Division match!"
Cathy Kelley: "Fans, since he beat Jeff Jarrett has demanded a title match! He's even taken to social media to remind champion Shawn Michaels, many time I might add, that he won their epic clash at WrestleMania twenty-one! Finally, Shawn accepted the challenge and we have that title defense right here! Let's go to our hall of fame commentary team in Jim Ross, Jerry Lawler, and Tony Schiavone!"

Match One ~ NWA: Show Time Legends Championship ~ "Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels vs. "Olympic Hero" Kurt Angle
In an intense match-up that saw several back-and-forth struggles, Angle caught Michaels in the "Ankle Lock" and had him about to tap out in center ring. "The KliQ" hit the ring and attacked Angle to cause the disqualification.
Winner = Kurt Angle by disqualification in 7:22 (Michaels retains)
After the beatdown commenced, "The Varsity Club" stormed the ring and "The KliQ" bolted.
Match Two ~ "The Fiend" vs. Johnny "Wrestling" Gargano with "Poison Pixie" Candice LeRae
Mauro Ranallo: "You said it, William! Tonight, we'll find out who challenges Seth Rollins at Great American Bash!"
Jim Cornette: "And, in a rare occurrence, we're going to pack four big matches into one hour!"

Winner = "The Fiend" by submission in 14:22
Match Three ~ Kota Ibushi vs. Aleister Black
Match Three ~ Kota Ibushi vs. Aleister Black
Winner = Kota Ibushi by pinfall in 13:11
Match Four ~ "The Fiend" vs. Kota Ibushi
This was another intense battle. Both men showed signs of fatigues after having been in brutal matches earlier. It looked like "The Fiend" would continue to run roughshod over Ibushi like he did Gargano. He caught Kota in the "Mandible Claw." Kota fought valiantly to get out of it, but it looked as if he was fading. Suddenly, all of "Doomsday" appeared on the screen. They had Alexa Bliss held hostage and were threatening to Beat her as they had done weeks prior. You could see through his body language that "The Fiend" had a countenance change. That was just enough for Ibushi, as he scooped "Fiend" into a "Small Package" that got the flash pinfall.
Winner = Kota Ibushi by pinfall in 13:38
As Kota recovered inside the ring, "The Fiend" went running up the ramp.
Regal: "Oh my goodness! 'Doomsday' caused just enough of a distraction to get 'The Fiend' rattled! Kota Ibushi had the presence of mind to turn it into a pinning combination, and he'll go on to face Seth Rollins for the Heavyweight Championship at Great American Bash! Fans, we're all out of time for this week. Please join us 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 the air, "Doomsday" met "The Fiend" backstage and began a brawl.
