Rebellion (2002)
The 2002 Rebellion was the fourth annual and final Rebellion professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by the American promotion, World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). It was held exclusively for wrestlers from the promotion's SmackDown! brand division, which made it WWE's first-ever SmackDown!-exclusive PPV. The event took place on October 26, 2002, at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, England and was broadcast exclusively in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland. It was the first Rebellion held under the WWE name, after the promotion had been renamed from World Wrestling Federation (WWF) to WWE in May earlier that year. Rebellion was discontinued after this event due to the promotion's discontinuation of UK-exclusive PPVs in 2003.
Rebellion was an annual United Kingdom-exclusive pay-per-view (PPV) produced by the American professional wrestling promotion, World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), since 1999. The 2002 event was the fourth event in the Rebellion chronology. It was scheduled to be held on October 26, 2002, at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, England. It was also the first Rebellion produced under the WWE name, as the company was renamed from World Wrestling Federation (WWF) to WWE in May earlier that year. It was also the first Rebellion produced under the brand extension that was introduced in March, which divided the roster into two separate brands, Raw and SmackDown!, where wrestlers were exclusively assigned to perform. The 2002 event was in turn held exclusively for wrestlers from the SmackDown! brand, which was the promotion's first SmackDown!-exclusive PPV produced.
The event featured nine professional wrestling matches and two pre-show matches that involved different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines, where wrestlers portrayed villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in the scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches, with results predetermined by WWE's writers on the SmackDown! brand. Storylines were produced on WWE's weekly television show SmackDown!.
Prior to the start of the pay-per-view, Bill DeMott defeated Shannon Moore in a dark match.
The first match of the pay-per-view was scheduled to be The Undertaker facing Matt Hardy. However, SmackDown! General Manager Stephanie McMahon came out and revealed that The Undertaker was not at the event since his wife was expecting a baby. Stephanie then revealed that, as part of a trade to acquire Big Show, Raw's Booker T would substitute for The Undertaker for one night only. The match ended when Hardy went for the Twist of Fate, but Booker T reversed it and hit the scissors kick for the win. Following the match, Booker T performed the Spinaroonie before leaving the ring.
The next match was a mixed tag team match which saw John Cena and Dawn Marie face Billy Kidman and Torrie Wilson. After Cena hit Wilson with a bodyslam, Wilson responded by executing a low blow on Cena. Kidman performed the Shooting Star Press on Cena for the win.
The third match was between Funaki and Crash. When Crash went for the Oklahoma roll, Funaki blocked it and performed a roll-up to win the match.
Next was an elimination triple threat match for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship between Jamie Noble, Rey Mysterio and Tajiri. Noble first eliminated Tajiri after executing the Tiger Bomb. When Mysterio went for a victory roll, Noble grabbed Nidia outside the ring and pinned Mysterio to retain the title. After the match, Mysterio attacked Noble, knocking both him and Nidia down, followed by Mysterio hitting the 619 on both of them.
