'''WWE New Year's Revolution''' is a [[professional wrestling]] event produced by [[WWE]], a [[professional wrestling promotion]] based in [[Connecticut]]. The event was created in 2005 and its name is a play on the Western tradition of [[New Year's resolution]]s, being held in early January each year the event is produced.
 
It was originally held as a [[pay-per-view]] (PPV) [[List of WWE pay-per-view and livestreaming supercards|event]] from 2005 to 2007. To coincide with WWE's [[WWE brand extension|brand extension]], New Year's Revolution was held exclusively for wrestlers from the [[Raw (WWE brand)|Raw]] brand for its three years as a PPV event. In 2008, New Year's Revolution was removed from the schedule when the company reduced the number of PPVs per year after the discontinuation of brand-exclusive PPVs following [[WrestleMania 23]] in April 2007. In January 2020, WWE revived the event's name for a series of [[WWE Live]] shows for Raw and [[SmackDown (WWE brand)|SmackDown]] titled the New Year's Revolution Tour; this tour was not held in 2021 due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]]. The name was used again for a [[List of WWE SmackDown special episodes|special episode]] of ''[[WWE SmackDown|Friday Night SmackDown]]'' on January 5, 2024.
 
The PPV event was notable for featuring the [[Elimination Chamber match]] during its first two years. Also notable was the [[New Year's Revolution (2006)|2006 event]], which saw the first [[Money in the Bank cash-in match]]. After [[John Cena]] had retained the [[WWE Championship]] in an Elimination Chamber match, [[Edge (wrestler)|Edge]] used his Money in the Bank contract and defeated Cena to win the championship.
 
==History==
New Year's Revolution was an annual January [[pay-per-view]] (PPV) event produced by [[World Wrestling Entertainment]] (WWE). The name was a play on the Western tradition of [[New Year's resolution]]s. The [[New Year's Revolution (2005)|first New Year's Revolution]] took place on January 9, 2005, and aired [[live television|live]] on PPV from [[San Juan, Puerto Rico]], which was the first PPV event produced by WWE to be held in Puerto Rico.<ref name=Results3>{{cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/shows/newyearsrevolution/history/2005/results/ |title=New Year's Revolution 2005 Results |publisher=[[World Wrestling Entertainment]] |date=January 9, 2005 |access-date=July 26, 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071203215504/http://www.wwe.com/shows/newyearsrevolution/history/2005/results/ |archive-date=December 3, 2007 }}</ref> The main event was an [[Elimination Chamber]] match, a special elimination-based [[Professional wrestling match types|professional wrestling match type]] that was promoted on rare occasions in WWE at that time with a total of six participants. The original Elimination Chamber structure was 16-feet-high and weighed 10-tons.

The [[New Year's Revolution (2006)|2006 event]] also featured an Elimination Chamber match as the main event, which also saw the first [[Money in the Bank ladder match|Money in the Bank cash-in]], where Mr. Money in the Bank [[Edge (wrestler)|Edge]] used the contract and defeated [[WWE Champion]] [[John Cena]] right after Cena had retained the title in the Elimination Chamber match.<ref name=Results06-2>{{cite web| date=January 8, 2006|url=http://www.wwe.com/shows/newyearsrevolution/history/2006/matches/|title=New Years Revolution 2006|publisher=[[World Wrestling Entertainment]]|access-date=July 29, 2008}}</ref> The annual Elimination Chamber match was then moved to the [[December to Dismember (2006)|December to Dismember]] PPV later that year,<ref name=D2D2006>{{cite web|date=December 3, 2006|url=http://www.wwe.com/shows/decembertodismember/matches/32934421/results/|last=Tello|first=Craig|title=Mission accomplished|publisher=[[World Wrestling Entertainment]]|access-date =July 29, 2008}}</ref> thus the [[New Year's Revolution (2007)|2007 New Year's Revolution]] event did not feature the Elimination Chamber match.<ref name=Results07-2>{{cite web|date=January 7, 2007|url=http://www.wwe.com/shows/newyearsrevolution/history/2007/matches/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303173034/http://www.wwe.com/shows/newyearsrevolution/history/2007/matches/|url-status=dead|archive-date=March 3, 2016|title=New Years Revolution 2007|publisher=[[World Wrestling Entertainment]]|access-date=July 29, 2008}}</ref> The New Year's Revolution PPV was then canceled in 2008, after WWE reduced the number of PPVs per year after the discontinuation of brand-exclusive PPVs following [[WrestleMania 23]] in April 2007.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://corporate.wwe.com/news/2007/2007_03_14.jsp |title=WWE Pay-Per-Views To Follow WrestleMania Formula |publisher=[[WWE|World Wrestling Entertainment]] |date=March 18, 2007 |access-date=November 25, 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070319234707/http://corporate.wwe.com/news/2007/2007_03_14.jsp |archive-date=March 19, 2007}}</ref>
'''New Year's Revolution 2005''' took place on [[January 9]], [[2005]] at the [[José Miguel Agrelot Coliseum|Coliseo de Puerto Rico]] in [[San Juan, Puerto Rico]].
