The main event was Sting's retirement match in which he and Darby Allin defeated The Young Bucks (Matthew Jackson and Nicholas Jackson) in a tornado tag team match to retain the AEW World Tag Team Championship, and as a result, Sting retired undefeated in AEW.

The event also saw the return of Kyle O'Reilly, who had been out with an injury since June 2022, as well as Will Ospreay's first match as a member of the AEW roster, defeating Konosuke Takeshita on the undercard.

It is one of AEW's "Big Four" PPVs, which also includes Double or Nothing, All Out, and Full Gear, their four biggest domestic shows produced quarterly.

[3] During the November 29 episode, the fifth Revolution event was confirmed to be held on March 3, 2024, at the Greensboro Coliseum in Greensboro, North Carolina, the same venue in which Sting famously faced Ric Flair at Clash of the Champions I in March 1988, which was produced by the National Wrestling Alliance's Jim Crockett Promotions.

[6] 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.

Storylines were produced on AEW's weekly television programs, Dynamite, Collision, and Rampage, and the YouTube series, Being The Dark Order.

[10] 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.

[11] 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.[12] After The Young Bucks's tag team victory the following week, they subsequently became the number one ranked tag team.

[13] 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.

[14] 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.

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.

[10] 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.

[12] 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.

[22] In the second and final match in the pre-show, Kris Statlander and Willow Nightingale (accompanied by Stokely Hathaway) faced Julia Hart and Skye Blue.

Statlander dropkicked Hart out of the ring and Nightingale performed a Doctor Bomb and pinned Blue to win the match.

The eight participants were Wardlow, Dante Martin, Brian Cage, Hook, Lance Archer, Magnus, Chris Jericho, and Powerhouse Hobbs.

Cassidy attempted another Orange Punch, but Strong impeded it with a jumping knee and then delivered the End of Heartache to win the title.

[1] Next, Blackpool Combat Club (Jon Moxley and Claudio Castagnoli) faced FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler).

[1] After that, "Timeless" Toni Storm (accompanied by Mariah May and Luther the Butler) defended the AEW Women's World Championship against Deonna Purrazzo.

Ospreay attempted the Sky Twister Press, but Takeshita dodged and delivered a German suplex for a two count.

[1] In the penultimate match, Samoa Joe defended the AEW World Championship against "Hangman" Adam Page and Swerve Strickland.

Joe then performed a powerbomb to Page for a one count and then immediately transitioned into the STF, but Strickland broke up the submission.

Page then hit Strickland with the title belt and delivered two Buckshot Lariats to Joe, but there was no referee to count the pin.

[1] The main event was Sting's retirement match, in which he and Darby Allin (accompanied by Ric Flair and Sting's sons, Garrett Borden and Steven Borden Jr.) defended the AEW World Tag Team Championship against The Young Bucks (Matthew Jackson and Nicholas Jackson) in a tornado tag team match.

The Bucks delivered another double superkick to Sting and attempted the Tony Khan (TK) Driver, but Allin stopped it and threw Nicholas through a table.

[23][24] 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.
