Revolution British Wrestling (RBW) was a British professional wrestling promotion, that governed over smaller branches across the United Kingdom.
Revolution British Wrestling was originally formed in early 2002 by Adam Mumford and Aaron Spencer, with the sole intention of providing fans in the Nottinghamshire region of the England with a source of quality British wrestling live events.
RBW also launched a sister product, WrestlingUK, at the same time with the same aim, but focusing on the Southern area of England. Months of preparation took place leading to the debut events of both promotions, with the first WrestlingUK event taking place in August 2002 and the first RBW event taking place in September 2002. It was decided shortly afterwards that WrestlingUK, which was only used once would come under the RBW banner, and promote events under one name, rather than two.
By November 2002, RBW formed a relationship with fellow UK company G.N. Promotions. A schedule of 2003 joint live events began, with the first being a near sell-out event at Sports Nottingham, part of the Notts County Football Stadium, which starred some familiar faces in British wrestling such as Johnny Kidd and Alan Kilby, and American Jake "The Snake" Roberts which saw the crowning of an RBW Commonwealth Champion, and the merging of the G.N. Promotions Middleweight Championship which then became the RBW British Mid-Heavyweight Championship. Following this event, further shows took place in Derbyshire, Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, Yorkshire and more, all of which saw talent from all over the country appear.
July 2003 saw the launch of the first ever RBW Training Centre located in Nottingham, training a new generation of potential wrestlers in the hope that some would go on to be successful as professional wrestlers. Three months later, in October, the second RBW Training Centre opened, this time further south in London, which was the first sign of RBW in the south of England for over a year.
