Insurrextion was an annual professional wrestling pay-per-view television show that ran from 2000 to 2003. It was produced by the WWF/WWE exclusively for the United Kingdom. Insurrextion was also aired on Viewers Choice pay-per-view in Canada as well, only the 2002 event was aired in the United States. From 2002 it was a Raw brand exclusive show. After the 2003 show, all-UK exclusive pay-per-view shows were stopped as WWE started to stage Raw and Smackdown in the UK in 2004. Triple H was featured in the main event of all four versions of the event. Insurrextion's theme song was "Burning Tree", a WWF Production Theme.

Insurrextion (2002) took place on May 4, 2002 at the Wembley Arena in London, England, and was the WWF's first pay-per-view event promoted under a WWF brand (Raw). It was also the last televised event to run under the WWF name; due to a lawsuit by the World Wildlife Fund, the Federation changed its name to World Wrestling Entertainment over the next two days and started to use the WWE name on the May 6 episode of WWE Raw.
