BRKTHRU 1 Results
LIVE from The Star Factory in Detroit, MI!
The show opens with a video package of all the BRKTHRU stars set to “Heartache” by From Ashes To New, the official theme song. Shortly after ending we see a crowd shot. The rowdy fans are chanting for BRKTHRU, as we get the show under way.
“Rock You Like A Hurricane” by Scorpions blares as Marina Flores stands atop the entranceway. She blows kisses and waves to the crowd before grabbing a microphone to address the crowd. We see three separate podiums with black bags over what looks to be Championships.
“Ladies and Gentlemen…This…Is…BRKTHRU!” she says, as the arena begins chering once more. She addresses the locker room, and notes names like Grayson Osiris Deville, Chelsea Skye, Bianca Page and many others who aren’t just “Performers,” but instead “Hungry, talented athletes” that are looking to make BRKTHRU the most premiere brand.
She walks over to the first podium, talking about BRKTHRU having a spirit that Mayhem or Fusion can’t match. And that spirit is fighting spirit. She notes that the Fighting Spirit Championship will be defended on EVERY BRKTHRU show. It promises that not only will fans be guaranteed a title defense, but also displays the workhorse mentality of the brand.
Marina then brings up how BRKTHRU needs a Championship to represent those who are ready for the next step to their careers. A true “Next In Line,” if you will. At which she walks to the second podium and unveils the BRKTHRU Television Championship.
Last, Marina makes note of the fact that the brand wouldn’t be complete without having their own Championship. But she vows that the Champion will always represent the brand with integrity and legitimacy, before unveiling the BRKTHRU Championship. Just then however, we see Elijah Copeland at the top of the ramp making his way down with a microphone.
He runs down the roster, and makes mention that no one can compare to them even on their best day. The crowd begins booing as he smirks. This doesn’t sit too well with the GM, but she has little time to react as Chelsea Skye makes her way down to the ring and mentions that BRKTHRU is a fresh start for everyone and Elijah is no better than anyone else in the locker room. With no hesitation, Marina makes it official for later tonight. Elijah Copeland V. Chelsea Skye.
But in a ladder match!
We're in a small, darkened section of the backstage area, as Thalia's face peers through the dimly lit room, speaking out from the darkness.

"It seems that I am once again on my own. Fate had always dealt this hand unto me, and it is mine to burden."
She said with a solemn and condemned tone of voice, before speaking out.
TS1
"So it shall be. I don't need allies, for I have friends on the other side. I am the one who walks the crossroads, and I am the one who will claim the Brkthru Television Title. My opposition may outnumber me, but, they will never break me..."
She said with a devious smile, extending her hand to the camera.
TS1
"Take my hand, child. I'll lead you to the promised land. Take my hand, and I'll give you eternal youth, and take you to the other side, so you can see my truth. I can be your friend... or I can be your end. In the end, it's your decision."
She said, as the lights would flicker, before abruptly shutting off.
Match 1: Thalia Starks V. Jennie Fenix V. Alicia Cassidy V. Ryan Peters *BRKTHRU Television Championship Match*
“The following contest is for the BRKTHRU Television Championship! Introducing first! From Shreveport, Louisiana Thalia Starks!”
“From New York City, Jennie Fenix!”
“From Miami Florida, Alicia Cassidy!”
“From Lancaster, Pennsylvania Ryan Peters!”
The match begins as we see all four competitors staring at each other for a minute. The Championship is shown at ringside, with a graphic on the TV feed. Instantly we see Thalia Starks and Jennie Fenix working on each other as Peters and Cassidy do the same. Thalia Starks quickly goes for a standing dropkick/moonsault combo on Fenix. She tries going for a cover, but Ryan Peters breaks it up quickly. As he drags her off however, we see Alicia Cassidy come in out of nowhere and hits a hurricanrana onto Peters.
Quickly off the gate this match is hot with all four competitors trading exciting moves and holds. Ryan Peters is seen with a nice cross armbreaker on Alicia Cassidy. But Jennie Fenix sees this and hits a falling headbutt on both competitors. With the three down, Thalia comes back into the fold picking all three of them up and one by one hitting standing dropkicks! That was until she got to the last of the bunch, Ryan Peters. He scouts her dropkick and catches her nails a sit out powerbomb! He goes for a cover but only gets two.
The fans are chanting “This Is Awesome!” And we couldn’t agree more. Alicia Cassidy is the first to her feet and picks up Thalia Starks and goes for a lariat, but it’s ducked. Instead she opts for a Superkick which connects and Thalia lands in a corner. She points to the adjacent corner and the crowd cheers as she looks for Cassidy to Coast! But wait, Jennie Fenix comes back up and hits The Jinx Drop! The Codebreaker connects! She hooks the leg, but instead Peters instantly drags Cassidy away as he runs back in.
It’s Peters and Cassidy but it doesn’t last long as he gets a codebreaker too for his troubles, allowing Jennie Fenix to get the 3 count on Peters!
Winner AND NEW BRKTHRU Television Champion Jennie Fenix!

“Classy” Bianca Page and Marisol Vilaro are in Bianca’s locker room. There is a nervous, young Zion employee standing in the doorway of the locker room.
“Classy” Bianca Page:I seriously couldn’t care less! I don’t care! Mari, do you care?
Marisol Vilaro:Not at all.
“Classy” Bianca Page:See? Neither Mari nor I care. We want what we want when we want. This lack of respect this lady right here has gotten ever since she came here to Zion Wrestling is totally unacceptable and it ends now. Today has starten the BRKTHRU era in Zion Wrestling and as much as nobody likes the idea that this is Team Vilaro’s brand that is exactly what BRKTHRU is. So you treat with the proper respect! That goes from the minions such as yourself but all the way up the Zion Wrestling pecking order. So whatever Mari, Ricky, or I ask for you and all of your little buddies drop everything to make us happy because we are the priority. Do I make myself clear?
The Zion Wrestling employee shakes his head that he understands.
Marisol Vilaro:You’re dismissed!
The employee takes a step back and Marisol slams the door in his face.
Marisol Vilaro:That was a pleasure to see because that needed to be said. Ricky and I have experienced mountains of disrespect since arriving here.
“Classy” Bianca Page:That is over and done with.
Marisol Vilaro:Damn right it will. We can bitch and moan all we want but we have to back it up in the ring. Tonight…
“Classy” Bianca Page:...Tonight the action we so crave begins. My opponent tonight views himself as…what? A superhero with a God Complex?
Marisol Vilaro:Oh brother. If anything he is one of those shady pastors who try to con people out of their money.
“Classy” Bianca Page:I can appreciate you believing in yourself, Konstantine, but let’s be real. You are an obvious fraud with delusions of grandeur. You can wear all the armory you want as you pretend you are a descendant of Gerard Butler’s character in 300. That may work on the weak minded who need to believe in an obvious farce but for people like Mari and I who have the resolve of true winners. We see right through you and that is why I will lay claim to my first victory tonight. Then I can go on to bigger and better things such as some BRKTHRU championship gold. Because in Team Vilaro we are about getting things done.
Marisol Vilaro:And failure is not an option.
Sofia Hilton V. Ayu Megumi
“Residing in Detroit, Michigan, Sofia Hilton!”
“From Okinawa Japan, Ayu Megumi!”
The match begins as Ayu extends her hand to her opponent. Sofia doesn’t even give it a moment of thought as she slaps Ayu’s hand away and instantly takes control. It’s not long before she locks an armdrag followed by a snapmare. She has it locked in tight as Ayu is looking for the ropes but can’t get there. The crowd begins to quickly boo Sofia Hilton. She could care less, smirking at the crowd and locking in the hold even tighter. But with the crowd on her side, Ayu finds a way out hitting a double knee jawbreaker.
Sofia is down and Ayu sees an opening. She sends Sofia on the outside of the ring and lands a nice diving cannonball from the apron! Sofia is left stunned as she goes for a bicycle kick, but Sofia is quick to dodge out of the way and hits a Snap Suplex before sending Ayu Megumi back in the ring. She sets her up for a dropkick in the corner which connects. She goes for a pin but only gets two.
Out of frustration she sets her up in the corner and begins smacking Ayu’s chest. She leaves marks on it and doesn’t even mind. Ayu, however, does. She counters it and hits her with a nice exploder suplex! The crowd gets off their feet as she does it not twice, but three times total! Ayu goes for a quick cover, only getting the two count. She whips Sofia into the ropes, and Sofia goes for a clothesline that Ayu ducks and nails a discus clothesline instead! She picks up Sofia but Sofia already has her next move picked out.
She hits Ayu with a rolling sobat kick to the head. Ayu isn’t phased and instead looks for fatality, the running bicycle knee strike. It’s countered into a tornado DDT from Sofia, who hits the Butterfly Brainbuster for the three count!
“Here is your winner: Sofia Hilton!”

Backstage we see Marina on the phone with someone. Who is it? Who knows.
“Uh huh. Yeah. Of course. Well, as you know BRKTHRU is always going to be a place of opportunities under my watch. And yeah, your sibling put in a good word for you. So if this works out, who knows? But show up next week ready to compete.”
She hangs up the phone. Who was that?

Snow spread among the horizon, blanketing every sight in its infinite whiteness. The soft rolling sound of a wintery breeze crept throughout the forsaken halls of a cobblestone manor. Trickles of white trespassed the metallic window grates, giving way to the sound of heavy feet crunching against it. The source of such sound was the menacing frame of one of BRKTHRU’s newest signings. Late into its development, two names were given access upon the fresh roster. Those two would face one another in the first show. The immense person trudging his way down the corridor was one of those two. His face mostly shrouded by the hood of his snowcoat, where fur lined its brim, he only gave sightline of his frozen scowl. Fastened with steel bracers, the grayness of his coat matched the locale that he walked throughout. He wore pauldrons with the coat, which accompanied a brown leather strap that carried a blade. Though his mouth didn’t move, his voice populated the audio feed.
KONSTANTINE: Zion, another name for the holy land, the world to come. This is where I display my craft now. I have wandered this world several times over, seeing the different variations of competitors that this sport produced. Every place bears a selection that often blends with one another. Some places invest into bloodsport, bringing modern day barbarism to the forefront of their mind. Others enable those unwell to adhere to their sadistic whims. Even fewer are places that specialize in the tradition of the sport.
He had reached double doors that seemed almost welded together by time and nature. He pushed his hands forward, placing them upon them.
KONSTANTINE: To me, it’s always a mystery to unravel. What is the lifeblood of a federation? Zion has received the same treatment. Instead of seeking out an answer, I decided to bide my time. It would be a matter of time before Zion offered me my first taste of what they have to offer.
With a low grunt, KONSTANTINE opened the doors, letting through a fierce gust of chill into the room. As the light within settled, there was a long dining table seated in the center of a throne room. Or at least, it used to be one. The throne had been broken apart. Pieces of it had been used to create the chair at the end of the table. KONSTANTINE lowered his head, unveiling the battle hardened features of the veteran. His eyes, dark as a void, took in the sight with an air of familiarity. He entered, taking off his blade and undoing the straps.
KONSTANTINE: What was brought to me? It was an unworthy appetizer. Bianca Page will serve as not a test to me, but as a demonstration of what I can do. It’s what I offer to the people around that have my interest. For what is another person, fooled by the gleam of gold, to me? They are only a creature that cannot see what’s around them. Whatever establishment that they have made around, whatever entourage she has to try to stop me, will only delay what’s already written in the stars?
Brandishing the edges of his coat, KONSTANTINE showed the scars littered among his body. He traversed past the different seats and slid the fused seat back. He took a triumphant seat, which gave sight to the trinkets around him. Skulls of gold mounted upon spikes of silver were around him.
KONSTANTINE: I am a beast that has grown past the taste of riches. Her flesh is tainted by egotism and greed. And so it’s by my wish that I will slaughter her and install her in the same line of all those before her. For Zion, you have invited me into your home, and I will devour the very foundations of this company. I will seek out your champions. I will seize your accolades. As I hold everything in my hand, it will draw out those who are worth tenderizing.
He poured himself a glass of mead before lifting it to the viewers.
KONSTANTINE: I am KONSTANTINE, and I toast to you all. For this has become the beginning of my endless feast.
Bianca Page V. KONSTATINE
“Residing in Miami Florida, Bianca Page!”
“He…Is…Konstatine!”
The bell rings and instantly KONSTATINE comes at Bianca Page with a huge lariat that sends Bianca Page to the other side of the ring. She audibly is in a lot of pain, but KONSTATINE doesn’t care and hits another one. He looks to be in full control as he hits a Belly to Belly with Bianca Page wisely rolling to the outside of the ring. KONSTATINE doesn’t allow Bianca much chance to catch her breathe as he instantly rolls out of the ring. Bianca is quick to hit a few high knees to stun him.
She rolls in the ring quickly to break up a 10 count, but stops on the apron and hits a nice DDT from the apron. She hits a Snap German Suplex on the apron, knowing it’s going to take a lot to keep him down. Rolling him back in the ring, she looks to be in control. Bianca gets quite a bit of offense in but KONSTATINE knows what he has to do to finish off his opponent. He goes for “Perfect Dark!” The Sitout Tombstone Piledriver!
But Bianca finds a way out! She hits a “Graceful” Ace Cutter, before signaling for the top rope. She climbs up and lands the Pure Elegance Corkscrew Moonsault and hooks KONSTATINE’s massive legs and gets the 3 count and begins celebrating, but wait!
KONSTATINE is back to his feet. He turns around Bianca Page and locks in “A Feast for Saturn,” the Half Naked Choke! Bianca is in complete pain as referees from the back try to pry KONSTATINE off of her!
Winner: Bianca Page
The camera then shifts the attention to a video package highlighting Elijah Copeland, and the marks he’s made in ZION. It features a talking-head of him and what being on BRKTHRU means to him, let alone being in the BRKTHRU Championship match.

We find ourselves looking at an open road somewhere. There are no signs indicating where this is, no landmarks, the only thing that can be seen is the road itself, stretching ever onward to the horizon and beyond. And walking down that road towards us, through the haze of the sun reflecting off the asphalt, is a woman. Dressed in all white, a motorcycle jacket, fingerless gloves, she stands out as she steps ever closer to the camera, until it becomes clear it is one of BRKTHRU’s fresh signings, Nao Saegusa, clad in another classic hero cosplay. She comes to a stop and gives a smile to the camera.
“Hello, BRKTHRU~! It is I, your SHINING HERO STAR, Nao Saegusa! And I cannot overstate my excitement to be here, at the first episode of BRKTHRU’s return! Even if, of course, I wish it was with the honor of having brought the National Championship with me.”
She scratches at the back of her head and sighs.
“But, I did not. It was, heh, not in the cards, I suppose you could say! And that’s fine, Ms. Erzili was better, that is the simple reality. Her ability, her skill, it’s really something to look up to, you know. Another thing to reach for, I guess. Still. There is no shame in losing to someone so talented!”
A pause.
“No shame in losing. That’s. Something I have familiarity with saying! But…that’s what a new beginning is for! And that’s what I have tonight, what we have tonight! This is BRKTHRU’s new beginning, and it can be mine too! Tonight, I could become the first Fighting Spirit champion!”
She stops again, looking up at the sky for a moment.
“I’ve been here before. In my last home, my only home, Yugen, I ended up becoming the first Eunoia champion, after months and months of trying to become better and failing and trying again. I can’t describe the feeling, I don’t know the words, I don’t know if there even are words for it. I think back on it and it fills me with this warmth and joy. For 152 days I was so happy, a champion, I was a Hero to those watching. Even when someone was beating my head in, I was still able to feel that joy. But then it ended. I lost, every champion does. But I didn’t rebound. I just…well, I did say I have a lot of familiarity with saying there’s no shame in losing! But…there were times where I couldn’t even say that. And so I wanted to just. Not. But, the thing I want everyone to remember, this crucial thing, a truth of every great Hero!”
She sticks a hand up into the sky, letting the sun’s rays shine around it before slowly bringing it down in front of her, clasping it into a fist.
““As long as light still exists in this world, I will rise again!””
She throws her arms out now, a look of confidence and something else coming onto her face.
“So in this new beginning I will believe completely in myself! That I can succeed, that I can become the Fighting Spirit champion, that I can be more than I was before! It won’t be easy, only a fool would think otherwise! Ricky has been a champion in Zion, and while someone could try and say I have an advantage because I’m coming in fresh while he’s coming off a Pay-Per-View appearance, I scoff at the idea! A warrior, just like a Hero, would never let something like that get in the way! And I know Ricky is a warrior, and thus I could not ask for a better person to face tonight! I meant what I told you, Ricky, win or lose I think we can define this show tonight, make the Fighting Spirit the premier championship of BRKTRHU, as only we could! But for me, when that bell rings, it won’t be win or lose, there won’t be any idea of losing or that there’s no shame in it, the only thing on my mind will be that victory, any other thoughts will be for after! Because!”
She points towards the camera.
“To be a Hero means overcoming what is in front of you. And tonight what is in front of me is Ricky Rodriguez, with the honor of being the first Fighting Spirit champion as the prize! And as a Hero, I will reach for that! Especially because…to be a Hero…means to be filled with Fighting Spirit~ Tonight Ricky, with your help, I’ll show the world what that means.”
She gives a bow to the camera as a sign of thanks for this opportunity, and then walks forward, walking past the camera and vanishing from view, the only sound of her steady, confident footsteps as she walks towards her dreams, before we cut away.
Ricky Rodriguez V. Nao Segusa *BRKTHRU Fighting Spirit Championship*
“The following contest is for the BRKTHRU Fighting Spirit Championship! Introducing first, from New York…Ricky Rodriguez!”
“Next, from Saitama, Saitama, Japan…Nao Saegusa!”
The bell rings and both competitors are staring each other down. Nao is first to extend her hand. Ricky obliges by shaking it. The crowd applauds the sportsmanship as they lock up. Neither one gets the upper hand, atleast right away. They break the hold and Ricky quickly goes for a snapmare takedown and begins to work over Nao legs, clearly making sure she can’t fly around the ring.
They trade holds for a little bit on the mat. Nao however whips Ricky in the turnbuckle and takes a running start looking for a hurricanrana, but Ricky has it scouted and picks her up for a powerbomb. Nao lands on her feet, only to snapmare Ricky. Ricky returns the favor with a snapmare of his own. They both get to a vertical base and go for a dropkick on the other, quickly before they pop back to their feet.
The crowd is ecstatic by the fast-paced nature of the match! Nao hits an Enziguri followed by a standing Moonsault. She goes for a quick cover but it doesn’t go too far, only a 1 count. She picks Ricky back up and whips him into the ropes and hits a Pelee Kick sending him to the outside. Ricky is slightly dazed but tries shaking it off as Nao suddenly comes crashing down and hits a Senton from the top rope!
She drags Ricky in the ring and goes up top looking for The Spike of Righteousness. She waits til Ricky is in postition but Ricky blocks, hitting the Spinning Roundhouse Kick and climbs To The Top! He connects from the top rope, and hooks the legs for the 3 count!
Winner: AND NEW BRKTHRU Fighting Spirit Champion, Ricky Rodriguez!

We get a camera cut to Chelsea Skye on the set of…Let’s say a provocative movie. She goes into detail about what the BRKTHRU Championship means to her and the opportunity she has in front of her with the one roadblock that is Elijah Copeland.
Grayson Osiris Deville V. Mai Blackman *Winner faces Ricky Rodriguez for the Fighting Spirit Championship next week*
“Introducing first, from Manhattan New York…Grayson Osiris Deville!”
“And his opponent, from Chicago Illinois…Mai Blackman!”
The bell rings and Mai Blackman is hot right out the gate. She goes for a single leg takedown and begins to pummel away on the G.O.D. The referee has to get in and break it up. Even after he does, Mai pulls the referee away herself and locks in a Guillotine Choke. Grayson is fading fast, but is using any and all leverage he can to escape it. He gets his wish as he is able to muscle through and both are now at a vertical base with Mai Blackman not letting go.
Grayson takes advantage by hitting a snap German Suplex! The amount of strength it took to do that is insane. Grayson is in charge of the match, mostly hitting various suplexes against Mai. He works over the crowd on and off throughout the match. Some take to him, but some don’t. Right as he turns around Mai is back up and goes for a Belly-To-Belly Suplex and gets a quick 2 count count. She stays on the offensive by hitting a few arm drags in the process.
She builds up more frustration with him and whips him into the ropes, but Grayson hits Parting The Red Sea! He takes Mai to the ropes and hits Kneel Before God! He wraps Mai up and gets the 3 count!
Winner: Grayson Osiris Deville
Chelsea Skye V. Elijah Copeland *Ladder match for the BRKTHRU Championship*
“The following contest is a LADDER MATCH for the BRKTHRU Championship! Introducing first, from Chicago Illinois…Chelsea Skye!”
“And her opponent, from Lancaster Pennsylvania…Elijah Copeland!”
The camera cuts ringside as we see General Manager Marina Flores on commentary. We then get a cut of the Championship which is hanging up. One more cut, this time to both competitors. The bell rings as the crowd is ready for this one.
It doesn’t stay in the ring long as Elijah Copeland instantly rolls out and grabs a chair from underneath the ring. Chelsea Skye rolls out and Elijah starts swinging. Skye blocks all his attempts, and on the last one throws the chair in his face! It sends him backwards into the barricade. She hits a Superkick that sends him into the crowd. They begin brawling up and down The Star Factory before Elijah begins getting the upperhand and throws Chelsea back to ringside.
Skye is bent over in pain and Elijah does something different and hits a bulldog while he’s still on the barricade! He is quick to grab a ladder from under the ring and begins setting it up inside. Just then Chelsea gets back in the picture and kicks him in the midsection and hits a suplex. He’s down but Chelsea knows it’s going to take so much more. She whips him as hard as she can into the ropes, sending him to the outside.
She goes for a suicide dive, but Elijah is quick to catch her and throws her into the corner post! He then sets up a table, one side on the barricade and the other on the apron. He has bad intentions as he attempts to lay her across the table but she kicks her way out. Chelsea Superkicks Elijah and then hits a snap Suplex on him into the post! Elijah is out cold and Chelsea starts climbing up the ladder. She begins unhooking it, but Elijah runs back into the ring and trades blows with Chelsea atop the ladder.
With each blow, the other one is close to falling. Chelsea goes for a blow to Elijah, but Elijah counters it, and hits BITTER END! He sends Chelsea crashing onto the table he set up earlier! With that Elijah unhooks the Championship and the bell rings! Marina stands up clapping for Elijah.
Winner AND NEW BRKTHRU CHAMPION: Elijah Copeland!
