WWE Global Warning Tour was a major video taped event produced by World Wrestling Entertainment that took place on August 10, 2002 at Colonial Stadium in Melbourne, Australia. This event marked the return of WWE to Australia for the first time since 1986.[4] It was later released on VHS and DVD and also aired in November 2002 as part of the WWE Fanatics Series. It featured nine matches, where in the main event The Rock defeated Triple H and Brock Lesnar in a Triple Threat match to retain the WWE Undisputed Championship[5]
Although this was a one-time event, it was referred to as the Global Warning Tour.[6] The event itself is not available on the WWE Network, however the main event was released as part of Hidden Gems Part III in August 2017 [7]
Storylines[edit]
The event featured nine professional wrestling matches and two pre-show matches that involved different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. 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.[8]
