J. Perkins\|Manik]] and [[Serena Deeb]]. ==History== Line 22: In June 2014, [[James Storm]] would begin a program where he would confront and verbally run down [[Seiya Sanada\|Sanada]]. Following Sanada's loss of the [[TNA X Division Championship]] to [[Austin Aries]], Storm would confront Sanada backstage, berating Sanada's mentor [[Keiji Mutoh\|The Great Muta]], while slapping him in the face as a way to break Sanada down. On the July 24 episode of ''[[Impact Wrestling (TV series)\|Impact Wrestling]]'', Storm would confront The Great Muta, calling him a fraud, and proclaim himself to be "the Legend." After spitting beer in Muta's face, Sanada would run Storm out of the ring, before attacking Muta himself with a steel chair and bowing to Storm, revealing an unknown alliance between them. The following week on ''Impact Wrestling'', Storm would proclaim himself as Sanada's new mentor and master. Over the following weeks, TNA would air vignettes of Storm having a cult-like hold over Sanada, portraying Storm having him tied up, break Sanada down physically and mentally, and proclaim that "The Revolution is coming."<ref name=Impact081414>{{cite web\|url=http://dailywrestlingnews.com/james-storm-starts-revolution-aug-14-2014/\|title=James Storm Starts a Revolution\|last=Krites\|first=Bob\|date=2014-08-14\|accessdate=2014-08-28\|work=Daily Wrestling News\|~~deadurl~~url-status=~~yes~~dead\|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140903053953/http://dailywrestlingnews.com/james-storm-starts-revolution-aug-14-2014/\|archivedate=2014-09-03~~\|df=~~}}</ref> On the August 27 episode of ''Impact Wrestling'', Sanada accompanied by Storm debuted the new [[ring name]] The Great Sanada (debuting a look inspired by The Great Muta) before defeating Austin Aries with help from Storm.<ref name=Impact082714>{{cite web\|url=http://www.pwinsider.com/article/87874/complete-impact-wrestling-report-the-great-sanada-is-revealed-sgt-chris-melendez-is-welcomed-to-the-tna-roster-the-tag-team-title-series-begins-and-more.html?p=1\|title=Complete Impact Wrestling report: The Great Sanada is revealed, Sgt Chris Melendez is welcomed to the TNA roster, the tag team title series begins, and more\|last=Carapola\|first=Stuart\|date=2014-08-27\|accessdate=2014-08-28\|work=Pro Wrestling Insider}}</ref> On the September 3 episode of ''Impact Wrestling'', Storm and Sanada abducted former X Division Champion [[T.

On the September 17 episode of ''Impact Wrestling'', Storm and Sanada attacked X Division Champion [[Samoa Joe]], and were joined by Manik, now sporting an all new look, joining Storm's group. On the October 8 episode of ''Impact Wrestling'', it was announced that Storm and Sanada would battle The Great Muta and [[Yoshihiro Tajiri\|Tajiri]] in the main event of [[Bound for Glory (2014)\|Bound for Glory]]. This marked Storm's first appearance in the Bound for Glory main event, as well as the first time in the company's history that the main event was not contested for the [[Impact Wrestling World Heavyweight Championship\|TNA World Heavyweight Championship]].<ref name=Impact100814>{{cite web\|url=http://www.pwinsider.com/article/88845/the-tna-bound-for-glory-2014-ppv-post-game-show.html?p=1\|title=A Deeper Look at Bound For Glory 2014\|last=Johnson\|first=Mike\|date=2014-10-12\|accessdate=2014-10-15\|work=Pro Wrestling Insider}}</ref> At Bound for Glory on October 12, Storm and Sanada were defeated by The Great Muta and Tajiri.

After teasing tension between Richards and his partner [[Eddie Edwards (wrestler)\|Eddie Edwards]], The Revolution demanded Richards' decision on the November 12 episode of ''Impact Wrestling''. When Richards turned down the Revolution's offer to join, they attacked Richards and Edwards, leaving them vulnerable for Storm to bring out his [[Feast or Fired]] briefcase, guaranteeing him a TNA World Tag Team Championship opportunity. Storm revealed [[Abyss (wrestler)\|Abyss]] as his partner, and the newest pledge to The Revolution. They defeated [[The American Wolves\|The Wolves]] for the TNA World Tag Team Championships, making Storm a record six -time champion. After the match, Manik attempted to introduce [[Mahabali Shera]] to James Storm before Storm demanded Manik to send Shera away.<ref>{{cite web\|url=http://pwtorch.com/artman2/publish/tnaimpact/article_81779.shtml\|title=TNA IMPACT RESULTS 11/12: The Wolves "defend" TNA Tag Titles, Samoa Joe announces X future, Aries vs. Lashley, more}}</ref> Shera was later seen in a vignette towards the end of 2014 beginning his initiation into The Revolution. On the January 7, 2015 episode of ''Impact Wrestling'', Shera was officially brought into The Revolution and given the new name "Khoya." On the January 30 episode of ''Impact Wrestling'', The Revolution lost the championship against The Wolves. Storm began a secondary angle on the April 3 episode of ''Impact Wrestling'', when he seemingly broke character and confronted [[Bram (wrestler)\|Bram]] when he attempted to attack [[Mickie James]] with a steel chair during Bram's match against [[Magnus (wrestler)\|Magnus]]. Magnus and James confronted Storm after the match, to which Storm replied he was merely looking out for an old friend, hinting he was still a [[Heel (professional wrestling)\|villain]]. On the April 10 episode of ''Impact Wrestling'', Storm dismissed Sanada from The Revolution, stating that Sanada had let him down one too many times.<ref>{{cite web\|url=http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Wrestling/2015/04/10/22338421.html\|archive-url=https://archive.today/20150414185651/http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Wrestling/2015/04/10/22338421.html\|url-status=usurped\|archive-date=April 14, 2015\|title=Impact: Angle defies odds against Young, Lashley\|last=Howell\|first=Nolan\|date=2015-04-10\|accessdate=2015-04-14\|work=Slam!
