Background

WWA was established in 2001 and held five pay-per-view events between 2001 and 2003.

Storylines

Revolution featured professional wrestling matches that involved wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds, plots, and storylines that played out on WWA shows. Wrestlers portrayed heroes or villains as they followed a series of events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.^[3]

Jeff Jarrett defeated Road Dogg in the finals of the Seven Deadly Sins tournament at Inception pay-per-view in October 2001 to win the vacant WWA World Heavyweight Championship. He continued his feud with Road Dogg during the United Kingdom tour during the next two months, where Jarrett continued to retain the title against Dogg in subsequent title defenses. Brian Christopher and Road Dogg defeated Jarrett and Scott Steiner in tag team matches during the event with Christopher pinning Jarrett. Randy Savage was originally scheduled to be Jarrett's challenger at Revolution but he backed out of the event and Christopher replaced Savage in the main event on account of his pinfall victories over Jarrett.

At Inception, Juventud Guerrera defeated Psicosis in a Ladder match to win the vacant WWA International Cruiserweight Championship. Guerrera successfully defended the title against Psicosis in subsequent rematches until Psicosis defeated Guerrera to win the title on December 8, 2001. A title match was scheduled between the two at Revolution and Eddie Guerrero was added into their title match, making it a three-way match.

Preliminary matches

The opening match was a six-way elimination match between Nova, Low Ki, Shark Boy, A.J. Styles, Tony Mamaluke and Christopher Daniels. Low Ki nailed a springboard mule kick to Shark Boy for the first elimination of the match. Styles then eliminated Mamaluke by nailing a Styles Clash. Daniels then eliminated Low Ki by hitting a side slam. Daniels was next eliminated when he tried to deliver a hurricanrana to Styles from the top rope but Styles countered it with a Styles Clash. Nova then eliminated Styles by performing a superplex for the win. After the match, Commissioner Bret Hart announced that Jeff Jarrett's originally scheduled opponent Randy Savage would not be able to compete so he would be replaced by Brian Christopher, who was originally scheduled to take on Disco Inferno.

Next, The Funkster took on Reno, with Funkster impersonating Hulk Hogan in the match. Near the end of the match, Reno delivered a Roll of the Dice to Funkster but climbed the top rope instead of pinning him and Funkster took advantage by hitting a big boot and he followed that with a piledriver and a leg drop for the win. After the match, Disco Inferno joined the commentary team to provide color commentary and issued an open challenge to anyone.

Next, KroniK (Brian Adams and Bryan Clark) took on Native Blood (The Navajo Warrior and Ghost Walker). Native Blood attacked KroniK from behind but KroniK quickly countered their attack and dominated them throughout the match. KroniK delivered a High Times to Walker for the win.

Next, Puppet the Midget Killer took on Teo in a falls count anywhere match. Puppet got a bag of thumbtacks and opened it and dropped all the thumbtacks on the ramp and then delivered a fireman's carry facebuster to Teo onto the thumbtacks for the win. Immediately, after the match, Scott Steiner came and attacked both men and then he grabbed Disco Inferno from the commentary table and attacked him. Steiner then tossed Inferno into the ring and attacked him and applied a Steiner Recliner on Inferno.

Next, Psicosis defended the International Cruiserweight Championship against Eddie Guerrero and Juventud Guerrera in a triple threat match. Psicosis tried to execute a hurricanrana to Guerrero from the top rope but Guerrero avoided it and Psicosis fell down on the mat and Guerrero hit a frog splash on Psicosis to win the title. Jerry Lynn confronted and attacked Guerrero after the match, which led to a brawl outside the ring, resulting in Lynn hitting a piledriver to Guerrero onto the title belt.

Later, Sabu took on Devon Storm in a no disqualification match. Near the end of the match, Sabu's manager Bill Alfonso attempted to hit Storm with a chair but Storm avoided it and Sabu was hit with it and then Storm pinned him for the win. Sabu attacked Storm after the match by throwing a chair at him outside the ring and placed him on a table and then dived off from the video screen onto Storm through the table. After the match, Larry Zbyszko made an appearance and challenged Vince McMahon to a match and also made fun of Chris Jericho on his "Living Legend" moniker.

In the penultimate match, Rick Steiner and The Cat took on The West Hollywood Blondes (Lenny Lane and Lodi). Rick attacked Lane and then tagged in Cat, who nailed a Feliner to Lane for the win.

Main event match

In the main event, Jeff Jarrett defended the World Heavyweight Championship against Brian Christopher. Jarrett was distracted when he tried to attack Christopher with a chair but the referee took it away. Christopher tried to nail a superkick on Jarrett but Jarrett avoided it and Christopher accidentally superkicked the referee. Christopher then nailed Jarrett with the chair and delivered a Hip Hop Drop and covered Jarrett for the pinfall and then a second referee came to count the pinfall but the original referee woke up and pulled him out of the ring. Both referees fought each other allowing Jarrett to try to hit Christopher with the title belt but Christopher avoided it and tried to nail a piledriver. Jarrett then countered with a low blow and a Stroke on Christopher to retain the title.
