RevPro Anniversary Show is a major professional wrestling event produced by Revolution Pro Wrestling (RPW), which is held annually in August since 2019 (with the exception of 2020 due to COVID-19 pandemic) to celebrate the anniversary of the promotion's first event Summer Sizzler, which took place on August 26, 2012.

Hailed as the promotion's biggest event since the first edition in 2019, Anniversary Show has generated hype by featuring matches and major appearances by internationally renowned stars such as Jushin Liger's last match in the UK, which headlined the Seven Year Anniversary event.[1]

The eleventh edition of the Anniversary Show took place at the All In weekend, on August 26, 2023 at the Copper Box Arena in London, England. It was RevPro's biggest event in history,[2] which generated hype by featuring a main event between partner promotion New Japan Pro Wrestling stars Shingo Takagi and Will Ospreay.[3] Mickie James was also announced to make her debut for RevPro at the event.[4] The event drew a record-setting crowd for the promotion at 4,072.[5][6][7][8] The event was widely discussed in the wrestling media after Chris Jericho made his surprise debut for the promotion by attacking Will Ospreay after the main event to build up their scheduled match at All In.[9]
