New Year's Revolution (2007) was the third annual and final New Year's Revolution professional wrestling pay-per-view event produced by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). It took place on January 7, 2007 at Kemper Arena in Kansas City, Missouri and featured wrestlers and other talent from WWE's Raw brand. There were seven professional wrestling matches scheduled on the event's card.
Four championships exclusive to the Raw brand were contested for; none was lost as all four championships were retained. The main event was a standard wrestling match, in which WWE Champion John Cena defeated challenger Umaga to retain his championship. Two predominant bouts were featured on the undercard. The first was a Tag team match, in which World Tag Team Champions Rated-RKO (Edge and Randy Orton) fought D-Generation X (Triple H and Shawn Michaels) to a no-contest. Due to WWE rules, a title can only change hands via pinfall or submission, as a result, Rated-RKO retained their titles. Another main match was a steel cage match, a match fought within a cage formed by placing four sheets of mesh metal around, in, or against the edges of the wrestling ring. WWE Intercontinental Champion Jeff Hardy defeated Johnny Nitro to retain his championship.
The event received 220,000 pay-per-view buys, which was less than the 294,000 buys the previous year's event received. The event was rated a six out of ten. When the event was released on DVD, it reached a peak position of fourth on Billboard's DVD sales chart for recreational sports. It remained on the chart for six consecutive weeks.

Famous quotes containing the words year and/or revolution:
“It’s not that we want the political jobs themselves ... but they seem to be the only language the men understand. We don’t really want these $200 a year jobs. But the average man doesn’t understand working for a cause.”
—Jennie Carolyn Van Ness (b. c. 1890–?)
“The revolution must end and the republic must begin. In our constitution, right must take the place of duty, welfare that of virtue, and self-defense that of punishment. Everyone must be able to prevail and to live according to one’s own nature.”
—Georg Büchner (1813–1837)
