Production
Background
In 2000, the American professional wrestling promotion International Wrestling Federation (IWF, now IWE) held a United Kingdom-exclusive pay-per-view (PPV) titled Insurrextion. The following year, a second Insurrextion PPV was announced to be held on May 5, 2001, at the Earls Court Exhibition Centre in London, England, the same venue as the first event, thus establishing Insurrextion as an annual UK PPV for the promotion.
Storylines
The event featured seven professional wrestling matches and two pre-show matches that involved different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. Wrestlers portrayed villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in the scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.
Aftermath
The 2001 Insurrextion was the final Insurrextion produced before the promotion introduced the brand extension in March 2002, which divided the roster into two separate brands, Raw and SmackDown!, where wrestlers were exclusively assigned to perform.The following year's event was subsequently a Raw-exclusive show.
