First event	2005
Last event	2007

WWE New Year's Revolution was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event that was produced by the American professional wrestling promotion, World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). The event was created in 2005, and to coincide with the brand extension, in which the promotion divided its roster into two separate rosters, called brands, the event was made exclusive to the Raw brand throughout the event's three-year history. The name of the event was a play on the Western tradition of New Year's resolutions, and was held in early January each year the event was produced. In 2008, New Year's Revolution was removed from the WWE schedule when they reduced the number of PPVs per year, which coincided with the discontinuation of brand-exclusive PPVs after WrestleMania 23 in April 2007.

History

New Year's Revolution was a pay-per-view (PPV) event consisting of a main event and undercard that featured championship matches and other various bouts. Produced by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), the first New Year's Revolution took place on January 9, 2005 and aired live on PPV from San Juan, Puerto Rico. The main event was an Elimination Chamber match, a special professional wrestling match type that was promoted on rare occasions in WWE at that time. The Elimination Chamber is 16-feet-high and weighs 10-tons. It is composed of two miles of chain, steel grating, and plexiglas pods (which contain the individual wrestlers). The 2006 event also featured an Elimination Chamber match as the main event. Later that year, however, the annual Elimination Chamber match was moved to December to Dismember, which was an ECW-exclusive PPV. After its 2006 return, the December to Dismember event was canceled in 2007, and the Elimination Chamber matches were moved once again, this time to the No Way Out PPV. The New Year's Revolution event was then canceled in 2008, after WWE reduced PPVs and discontinued brand-exclusive PPVs following WrestleMania 23 in April 2007.

In 2002, WWE held a draft that split its roster into two distinctive brands of wrestling, Raw and SmackDown!, as well as ECW introduced in 2006. Before the draft, matches featured wrestlers from the roster without any limitations; after the draft, however, matches consisted only of wrestlers from their distinctive brands. The first New Year's Revolution event in 2005 was exclusive to the Raw brand and remained as a Raw-exclusive event all three years the PPV was produced before it was canceled in 2008. At the final New Year's Revolution in 2007, the main event was a singles match for the WWE Championship between John Cena and Umaga, which Cena won to retain the title.

Reception

The 2005 event never reached Billboard.com's top ten list for Recreational Sports DVDs. The first week the event appeared on the Billboard chart, it ranked 19th. The following week, the event ranked 17th, only to drop off the chart the next week. The 2006 event ranked third on its first week in the chart's top ten list. The following week, the DVD reached second on the list, and remained in the top ten for five weeks until the week of April 8, 2006, when the event dropped to 11th. The 2007 event ranked second in its first week in the top ten. The DVD remained in the top ten for four weeks until the week of March 31, 2007, when it ranked 11th.

Canadian Online Explorer's professional wrestling section rated the 2005 event a three out of ten stars. The main event was rated a seven out of ten stars. The 2006 event was given a rating of three out of ten stars also, with the main event being rated six out of ten stars.
