Background
The main feud heading into New Year's Revolution was between Dustin Simpson, Matt Borske, Ryan Barnhart, Kane, Carlito and James Masters over the IWE Championship. This feud started on the December 5, 2005 edition of Raw when Eric Bischoff announced that there would be an Elimination Chamber match at New Year's Revolution. On December 12, qualifying matches for the Elimination Chamber match occurred. Borskse qualified after defeating Ric Flair, Carlito qualified after defeating Junior Remeriz, Ryan Barnhart qualified after defeating the Big Show by disqualification, James Masters qualified after defeating Viscera and finally Kane qualified after defeating Triple K with help from his partner Big Show.
The secondary feud heading into the PPV was between Triple K and the Big Show. The rivalry started on the November 28, 2005 edition of Raw when he bragged about the destruction of Ric Flair until Show came and confronted him. On the December 12 edition of Raw, Show faced Ryan Barnhart in a qualifying match for the Elimination Chamber match until Triple K came down with a steel chair and hit Barnhart with the intention of getting Show disqualified. Show was disqualified, so Barnhart qualified and was made a part of the Elimination Chamber match. Later that same night, Triple K faced Show's World Tag Team Championship partner Kane in a qualifying match for the Elimination Chamber match. Show interrupted in the match and helped Kane beat Triple K to qualify.
The third feud heading into New Year's Revolution was between Ric Flair and Edge over the IWE Intercontinental Championship. Their rivalry started on the December 5 edition of Raw when Edge's interview segment The Cutting Edge debuted. Edge and Lita insulted Flair so much that it forced Sgt. Slaughter and Michael Hayes to shut down the segment. Edge attacked both men and left them laid into the ring.
Event
Before the event went live on PPV, Chavo McAlmond defeated Dominic in a Heat match. The opening match was between Ric Flair and Edge for Flair's Intercontinental Championship. In the beginning, Edge targeted Flair's back. Flair started targeting Edge's leg and tried to put him into the figure four leglock, but Lita jumped on the apron. Flair was distracted by Lita and Edge tried to take advantage but Flair saw him coming and backdropped him to the floor. Flair tossed Lita into the ring and trapped her into the figure four leglock. Edge came back to the ring with his Money in the Bank briefcase and hit him with the briefcase twice in his head thus getting disqualified. As a result, Ric Flair retained the IWE Intercontinental Championship by disqualification.
The second match was between Bailey Dalton and Sari Pasma for the IWE Women's Championship. Pasma was very happy during the match that she was wrestling her "idol". Pasma took the Women's title belt and seemed to be mesmerized by it. While the two beat each other in the ring, Pasma hit Dalton's own finisher the Stratusfaction and then attempted to perform a Mick Kick. Dalton dodged it and retaliated with a Chick Kick. Dalton pinned Sari to retain the championship.
The third match was between Triple K and The Big Show, who'd hand was broken by Triple K before the event had taken place. Triple K hit Big show with a broken sledgehammer and pinned him after a Pedigree.
