The event hosted the final match in Sting's nearly 40-year career, and was held in the same venue in which he faced Ric Flair at Clash of the Champions I in March of 1988, which was considered to be the match that established Sting as a top wrestler in the industry.

11 matches were contested at the event, including 2 on the Zero Hour PPV Pre-Show. The main event was Sting's retirement match in which he and Darby Allin defeated The Young Bucks (Matthew Jackson and Nicholas Jackson) in a Tornado Tag Team match to retain the AEW World Tag Team Championship, and as a result, Sting retired undefeated in AEW. In another prominent match, Samoa Joe defeated "Hangman" Adam Page and Swerve Strickland in a 3-Way match to retain the AEW World Championship. The event also saw the return of Kyle O'Reilly, who had been out with an injury since June of 2022.

The 2024 AEW Revolution was confirmed by AEW wrestler and wrestling veteran Sting on the October 18th, 2023 episode of AEW Dynamite. Sting recapped how he had his AEW debut match at the 2021 AEW Revolution pay-per-view, which was a Cinematic Tag Team Street Fight with tag team partner Darby Allin, and then announced that he would have the final match in his nearly 40-year career at the 2024 AEW Revolution PPV. During the November 29th, 2023 episode, the fifth Revolution event was confirmed to be held on March 3rd, 2024, at the Greensboro Coliseum in Greensboro, North Carolina, the same venue in which Sting famously faced Ric Flair at Clash of the Champions I in March 1988, which was produced by the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA)'s Jim Crockett Promotions. Flair also confirmed he would be in Sting's corner for the match. This was also AEW's first PPV event to be held in North Carolina.
