First event | 2020 |
AEW Revolution is an annual professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by All Elite Wrestling (AEW). Established in 2020, it was originally held in late February, but moved to early March in 2021, and that year's event was also AEW's first PPV held on a Sunday. It is considered one of the "Big Four" PPVs for AEW, along with Double or Nothing, All Out, and Full Gear
The first two Revolution PPVs were critically acclaimed. The 2020 event was voted as the Best Major Wrestling Show of the year for the Wrestling Observer Newsletter awards, while the 2021 event was the highest-grossing non-WWE wrestling PPV since 1999. The latter was also AEW's largest attended event during the COVID-19 pandemic up to that point. The 2024 Revolution was notable as it hosted Sting's final match.
