Rebelión de los Juniors (2012) (Spanish for "The Junior Rebellion") was the first annual professional wrestling major event under that name produced by Mexican professional wrestling promotion International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG). The show took place on March 27, 2011 in Arena Naucalpan, Naucalpan, State of Mexico, Mexico, IWRG's main venue. The main event focused on the newly created IWRG Junior de Juniors Championship with the inargual champion El Hijo de Pirata Morgan put his championship on the line against El Hijo de L.A. Park and Trauma I. The two challengers both risked their mask on the outcome of the match and would have been forced to unmask if they were defeated as per Lucha de Apuestas or "Bet match" rules. The undercard featured an additional Luchas de Apuetas match, where the losing team of a Relevos Suicidas, losing team advances tag team match between the teams of Comando Negro/Multifacético and El Pollo Asesino/Eterno would be forced to wrestle each other.
Professional wrestling has been a generational tradition in Lucha libre since its inception early in the 20th century, with a great deal of second or third generation wrestlers following in the footsteps of their fathers or mothers. Several lucha libre promotions honor those traditions, often with annual tournaments such as Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre's La Copa Junior. The Naucalpan, State of Mexico based International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG) created the IWRG Junior de Juniors Championship in 2011, a championship where only second or third generation wrestlers are allowed to challenge for it. In addition to legitimate second generation wrestlers there are a number of wrestlers who are presented as second or third generation wrestlers, normally masked wrestlers promoted as "Juniors". These wrestlers normally pay a royalty or fee for the use of the name, using the name of an established star to get attention from fans and promoters. Examples of such instances of fictional family relationships include Arturo Beristain, also known as El Hijo del Gladiador ("The Son of El Gladiador") who was not related to the original El Gladiador, or El Hijo de Cien Caras who paid Cien Caras for the rights to use the name. Weeks after the creation of the Junior de Juniors Championship IWRG held their first IWRG Rebelión de los Juniors show with the centerpiece of the show being the Junior de Juniors Championship. The Rebelión de los Juniors shows, as well as the majority of the IWRG shows in general, are held in "Arena Naucalpan", owned by the promoters of IWRG and their main arena.
