The 2003 Insurrextion was the fourth annual and final Insurrextion professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by the American promotion, World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). It was held exclusively for wrestlers from the promotion's Raw brand division. The event took place on June 7, 2003, at the Newcastle Arena in Newcastle, England, and was broadcast exclusively in the United Kingdom. It was the only Insurrextion produced under the WWE name, as the promotion was renamed from World Wrestling Federation (WWF) to WWE just two days after the previous year's event.
Seven matches were contested at the event, with two dark matches. In the main event, Triple H defeated Kevin Nash in a Street Fight to retain the World Heavyweight Championship. In other prominent matches, Christian defeated Booker T to retain the WWE Intercontinental Championship, Kane & Rob Van Dam defeated La Résistance (René Duprée and Sylvain Grenier) to retain the World Tag Team Championship, and in the opening bout, Jazz defeated Trish Stratus to retain the WWE Women's Championship.
Insurrextion was discontinued after this 2003 event due to the promotion's discontinuation of UK-exclusive PPVs after this event. Following this event, WWE did not produce another pay-per-view outside of North America until 2018 with that year's Greatest Royal Rumble, which was held in Saudi Arabia. The 2003 Insurrextion would also be the final PPV to take place in the United Kingdom until Clash at the Castle in 2022 and in England specifically until Money in the Bank in 2023.
