Main event match
Ashura Hara and Genichiro Tenryu represented WAR against Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling representatives Atsushi Onita and Tarzan Goto in the interpromotional main event. Goto and Hara started the match. Midway into the match, Goto made Tenryu bleed by hitting him with a steel chair to weaken him down and leave Hara at a temporary disadvantage. Tenryu managed to make a comeback by hitting Onita with a few chops and a lariat. Tenryu then controlled Onita and Goto until the effects of the chair shot by Goto dazed him, allowing Onita to execute a Thunder Fire Powerbomb to Tenryu to win the match.

Reception
Revolution Rumble was positively received by critics and audiences alike. The interpromotional tag team main event of the show was appreciated by the Tokyo Sports newspaper, which presented it with the Match of the Year Award for 1994.

Ryan Mancuso of Puroresu Central gave a score of 6 to the event and rated it an average event. He appreciated the interpromotional tag team matches of WAR wrestlers against Michinoku Pro Wrestling and Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling. He appreciated the main event match "This was a one match show with the FMW vs. WAR main event delivering. It shows people that a good match is not determined by how moves the wrestlers could do, but when the moves are used", while praising the junior heavyweight tag team match between WAR and MPW as a "nice bonus" and added that "those two matches are worth checking out".

Aftermath
Atsushi Onita's pinfall victory over Genichiro Tenryu at Revolution Rumble led to the formation of a friendship between the two men. Onita's pinfall victory over Tenryu in Tenryu's home promotion WAR set up the main event for the FMW 5th Anniversary Show on May 5 at the Kawasaki Stadium, in which Onita would compete against Tenryu in an interpromotional no rope exploding barbed wire deathmatch. Onita added a stipulation to spark public interest that he would retire from wrestling if he lost the match. Tenryu was a big draw in Japan and a big favourite for puroresu fans, which led to the event drawing a crowd of 52,000 people and FMW was able to produce a successful event. Tenryu defeated Onita to return the favour. Onita returned to WAR at the 2nd Anniversary of Revolution to team with Tenryu and Crusher Bam Bigelow as the trio won a six-man tag team tournament.

Hiromichi Fuyuki went on to become the top villain of WAR by forming the Fuyuki-Gun stable with Jado and Gedo. On June 30, Fuyuki-Gun won a tournament to become the inaugural World Six-Man Tag Team Champions and achieved success as the group would win the title four more times.
