The event received critical acclaim for its match quality and Sting's retirement, with fans and critics alike considering it one of the best pay-per-view events in AEW history.[2][3]
Tickets for the event went on sale on December 15, 2023.[7] According to WrestleTix on X, over 13,000 tickets were sold within the first week.[8] Wrestling journalist John Pollock added that AEW had to revise production plans in order to meet fan demand and the company opened up as many seats as possible.[9]
Storylines
Left: Following Sting's debut in All Elite Wrestling (AEW) in December 2020, he acted as a mentor to Darby Allin with the two becoming a tag team. For Sting's entire AEW run, the two went undefeated as a tag team and won the AEW World Tag Team Championship, which they successfully defended in Sting's final match at Revolution 2024.
Revolution featured professional wrestling matches that were the result of pre-existing feuds and storylines, with results predetermined by AEW's writers. Storylines were produced on AEW's weekly television programs, Dynamite, Collision, and Rampage.[11]
After Sting and Darby Allin's victory at Dynamite: Homecoming on January 10 and with Revolution quickly approaching, Tony Schiavone asked Sting who his final opponent would be. Before Sting could answer, The Young Bucks (Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson) interrupted in their first appearance since Full Gear in November 2023. The two teams subsequently stared each other down, with the commentators implying that The Young Bucks wanted to challenge Sting and Allin for Sting's final match.[12] The following week, The Young Bucks, now preferring to be called Matthew and Nicholas Jackson, said they would be taking their roles as AEW executive vice presidents (EVP) more seriously, and said that while they respected Sting, it was time to say goodbye. Later, Allin recapped that he and Sting were undefeated as a tag team and declared that they would end their story together as AEW World Tag Team Champions.[13] They subsequently won the title on the February 7 episode, but after the match, they were brutally attacked by The Young Bucks, who also attacked Sting's sons Garrett Borden and Steven Borden Jr.[14] After The Young Bucks's tag team victory the following week, they subsequently became the number one ranked tag team. As they were about to attack Schiavone post-match, Allin made the save; Sting was absent due to the previous week's attack. Allin criticized Matthew and Nicholas, stating they no longer cared about the original goal of AEW and only cared about themselves. Allin then accepted that he and Sting would defend the AEW World Tag Team Championship against The Young Bucks, which was scheduled as a tornado tag team match at Revolution.[15]
At Worlds End on December 30, 2023, Adam Cole was revealed to be the man in the devil mask that had been targeting MJF over the prior few months. The devil's masked men were also revealed to be Roderick Strong, Matt Taven, Mike Bennett, and Wardlow.[16] On the following episode of Dynamite, the group dubbed themselves the Undisputed Kingdom and laid out their goals, which included Strong capturing the AEW International Championship.[17] Two weeks later, Strong, Bennett, and Taven confronted International Champion Orange Cassidy after his match. Cassidy offered to immediately defend the title against Strong, who denied and proposed that the match take place at Revolution, which was later made official.[13]
In September 2023, Swerve Strickland and "Hangman" Adam Page entered into a feud which saw Strickland gain victories over Page in a singles match at WrestleDream in October and in a Texas Death match at Full Gear in November.[18][19] After Samoa Joe won the AEW World Championship at Worlds End on December 30,[16] he appeared at Dynamite: Homecoming on January 10, 2024; Strickland and Page were among those who confronted Joe and laid claim to the title.[12] After Strickland and Page went undefeated through January and were placed first and second in the title contendership rankings, a match between the two was scheduled for the February 7 episode of Dynamite to determine who would challenge Joe at Revolution.[20] Their match went to a 30-minute time limit draw; as a result, both men were declared number one contenders with Joe in turn scheduled to defend the AEW World Championship against both in a three-way match.[14]
On the January 3 episode of Dynamite, former Total Nonstop Action Wrestling wrestler Deonna Purrazzo confronted "Timeless" Toni Storm's associate Mariah May, and officially announced that she was signed to AEW. Purrazzo then made her intentions clear that she was going after Storm's AEW Women's World Championship, talking about how they were friends when they started in wrestling together and even got matching ankle tattoos.[17] Purrazzo then quickly moved up the rankings to become the number one contender to face Storm for the championship at Revolution.[21]
At Worlds End, Eddie Kingston became the inaugural AEW Continental Champion, which also made him the Continental Crown Champion by holding the new title with his ROH World and NJPW Strong Openweight Championships. During the tournament itself, he defeated Bryan Danielson to secure his spot in the final. On the January 20 episode of Collision, Kingston teamed with Ortiz in a losing effort against Danielson and Claudio Castagnoli; after the match, Danielson spit in Kingston's face.[22] Over the weeks, Danielson continued to show Kingston disrespect by flipping him off backstage or immediately coming out for his own matches whenever Kingston was celebrating his own victories, one of which was against Bryan Keith and led to Keith receiving an AEW contract. On the February 10 episode of Collision, Kingston challenged Danielson to a match at Revolution for the Continental Crown Championship, with an added stipulation that if Kingston won, Danielson would have to shake Kingston's hand out of respect.[23]
There were two matches that took place on the Revolution: Zero Hour pre-show. In the first, The Bang Bang Scissor Gang (Max Caster, Anthony Bowens, "Daddy Ass" Billy Gunn, Austin Gunn, Colten Gunn, and Jay White) faced Jeff Jarrett, Jay Lethal, Satnam Singh, Willie Mack, and Private Party ("Brother Zay" Isiah Kassidy and Marq Quen).

Reception
Erik Beaston of Bleacher Report graded the show an A, saying "There were two legitimate Match of the Year contenders here in Kingston vs. Danielson and Ospreay vs. Takeshita, and everything else ranged from good to great. Most importantly, the show was sold on the back of Sting's retirement match and the main event lived up to expectations. The greatest avenger in wrestling history once again thwarted the plans of the evil and injust, sending fans home happy and bringing an end to his career. Everything that hit did, mostly, and the result was a great way to kick off the company's PPV slate here in 2024".[3]
