The Revolution was a villainous stable in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), consisting of members James Storm, Abyss, The Great Sanada, Khoya, Manik and Serena Deeb.
In June 2014, James Storm would begin a program where he would confront, and verbally run down Sanada. Following Sanada's loss of the TNA X Division Championship to Austin Aries, Storm would confront Sanada backstage, berating Sanada's mentor The Great Muta, while slapping him in the face as a way to break Sanada down. On the July 24 episode of Impact Wrestling, Storm would confront The Great Muta, calling him a fraud, and proclaim himself to be "The Legend". After spitting beer in Muta's face, Sanada would run Storm out of the ring, before attacking Muta himself with a steel chair, and bowing to Storm, revealing an unknown alliance between them.
The following week on Impact Wrestling, Storm would proclaim himself as Sanada's new mentor and master. Over the following weeks, TNA would air vignettes of Storm having a cult-like hold over Sanada, portraying Storm having him tied up, break Sanada down physically and mentally, and proclaim that "The Revolution is coming". On the August 27 episode of Impact Wrestling, Sanada accompanied by Storm debuted the new ring name The Great Sanada (debuting a look inspired by The Great Muta) before defeating Austin Aries with help from Storm.
On the September 3 episode of Impact Wrestling, Storm and Sanada abducted former X Division Champion Manik following his loss in a six-man No. 1 contendership match for the X Division Championship. On the following episode of Impact Wrestling, Storm was shown initiating Manik, much like he did Sanada into his new faction. On the September 17 episode of Impact Wrestling, Storm and Sanada attacked X Division Champion Samoa Joe, and were joined by Manik, now sporting an all new look, joining Storm's group. On the October 8 episode of Impact Wrestling, it was announced that Storm and Sanada would battle The Great Muta and Tajiri in the main event of Bound for Glory. This marked Storm's first appearance in the Bound For Glory main event, as well as the first time in the company's history that the main event was not contested for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship. At Bound for Glory on October 12, Storm and Sanada were defeated by The Great Muta and Tajiri. After the match, Manik joined in attacking Muta until Team 3D made the save.
