It was announced on TNA Wrestling's official website in January 2011 that Destination X was moving from March to July, switching places with TNA's traditional July PPV, Victory Road. On the June 21, 2012, edition of Impact, it was announced that every year the current X Division Champion will have an opportunity to give up their title for a shot at the TNA World Heavyweight Championship at Destination X. On January 11, 2013, TNA announced that in 2013 there would be only four PPVs, not including Destination X, although Destination X would be featured as a special episode of Impact Wrestling from 2013 to 2017.

## History

The inaugural Destination X event took part on March 13, 2005, at the TNA Impact! Zone in Orlando, Florida. On 2017, after Anthem Sports & Entertainment purchased a majority stake of TNA, Anthem re-branded TNA as Impact Wrestling. On June of that year, with the Impact merging with Jeff Jarrett's Global Force Wrestling (GFW), Impact was re-branded to GFW. After the last Destination X event, which took place on August 17, 2017, at the Impact Zone in Florida, the company was once named Impact Wrestling with Jarrett leaving the company couple months later on October.
