#1: WWE New Year’s Revolution (2007)
This New Year’s Revolution was unique as it was the first one to not have the Elimination Chamber Match as the main event. The show had a strong start with Jeff Hardy retaining the Intercontinental Championship against Johnny Nitro in a Steel Cage Match.
The fun team of Cryme Tyme won a turmoil match that featured all the other tag teams on RAW. Kenny Dykstra got his shine by defeating Ric Flair. Mickie James had a match with a destructive Victoria that ended with James retaining the Women’s Title.
One of the top matches of the night was Randy Orton and Edge of Rated RKO defending the World Tag Team Championship against Triple H and Shawn Michaels of D-Generation X. The match was able to continue after Triple H suffered a terrible injury.
The story between the two teams revolved more around hatred than the championships that were at stake. DX wanted revenge by putting a brutal beatdown on Orton and Edge. Both men were bloodied and battered, while the injured Triple H and Michaels had their heads held high.
Afterwards, there was a cool-down match that saw Chris Masters beat Carlito. The main event was between John Cena and Umaga for the WWE Championship. Umaga put all the stops in Cena, trying to hit the FU or STFU on “The Samoan Bulldozer”. Eventually, Cena capitalized by beating Umaga with a classic schoolboy roll-up to retain the WWE Title.
