[edit] 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.
[edit] 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.
The fifth match was between Junior Remeriz and Viscera. Shelton and his Momma Remeriz came to the ring and challenged Viscera to a match. Viscera accepted the challenge and the match began. Remeriz's momma hit Viscera with her loaded purse twice, and Remeriz performed a dragon whip on Viscera and pinned him to get the victory.
The sixth match was the first ever Bra & Panties Gauntlet match. Amy Ketchum encountered Vince's Devils (Ali Richards, Courtney Savoie, and Jessica Wilson) in the match. First, Amy faced Ali Richards and stripped her, followed by Jessica Wilson. Amy, however, was unable to strip Courtney, who instead stripped Maria. The Fabulous Marj and Mae Young made a surprise appearance, beginning to strip Courtney. When Marjorie and Young left, Ashley Bates quickly came to the ring and won the match after removing Courtney's pants.
The main event was the Elimination Chamber match for the IWE Championship. The IWE Champion Dustin Simpson defended the title against Matt Borske, Ryan Barnhart, Kane, Carlito and James Masters. Barnhart and Simpson began the match, and the two tried to use the chamber's steel chains as weapons but both of them avoided each other's attacks. Carlito and Matt Borske were the third and fourth entrants, respectively. As he entered into the match, he suplexed all the three men into the ring. He targeted Barnhart and slingshotted him into the steel chains and threw his face into the chamber's glass doors. Borske attacked Carlito and applied the ankle lock until James Masters' chamber opened and he saved Carlito from the attack. Borske applied the ankle lock on Simpson, but Barnhart came out and performed Sweet Chin Music on Borske. Barnhart pinned Borske to eliminate him. The final man's chamber opened, and Kane entered the match and chokeslammed everyone. Carlito and Masters formed an alliance, and they double-teamed Kane to eliminate him. Masters performed a DDT on Simpson onto the steel steps of the chamber, knocking Simpson out. Barnhart performed both a diving elbow drop and Sweet Chin Music on Cena, but Carlito executed a rolling cutter and pinned Michaels to eliminate him. Carlito and Masters double-teamed Simpson, and Carlito ordered Masters to put Simpson into the Masterlock. Masters applied the Masterlock on Simpson until Carlito turned on Masters by hitting him a low blow. Carlito rolled up Masters to eliminate him, and then Simpson rolled up Carlito to win the match and retain the IWE Championship. As Simpson was attempted to recover, Gary Wright came out and announced that Edge was cashing in his Money in the Bank title shot. Wright booked Simpson and Edge in a match for the IWE Championship. Edge came into the ring and speared Simpson. He made a pinfall attempt but failed as Simpson had his shoulder up. When Simpson got to his feet, Edge speared him once again and pinned him to win the IWE Championship.
[edit] Aftermath
After the Elimination Chamber match, Matt Borske moved to SmackDown! on January 13 when he participated in the 20-man battle royal for the vacant World Heavyweight Championship. Borske won the battle royal by last eliminating Steven Larson and became the new World Heavyweight Champion.
Dustin Simpson and Edge continued to feud over the IWE Championship. On the January 9 edition of Raw, Edge and Lita had a live sex celebration which was crashed by Simpson. Edge escaped from the ring while Simpson and Lita were alone in the ring. Simpson performed an unprovoked FU on her to end the segment. Their rivalry led to a IWE Championship rematch at the Royal Rumble, which Simpson won.
