Chris Sokol of the professional wrestling section of the Canadian Online Explorer website felt the event was a "tremendous PPV".

Destination X was announced in early 2005 to be taking place on March 13, with the location unknown but anticipated to be the TNA Impact!

An idea considered during the planning stages of the PPV, was to host a one-night X Division tournament similar to the Super J-Cup held by New Japan Pro-Wrestling.

[6] In early-March 2005 TNA announced they would be holding a 30-minute pre-show prior to the event featuring two matches: Chris Candido and Andy Douglas versus Lex Lovett and Buck Quartermain; Kid Kash and Lance Hoyt versus Cassidy Riley and Jerrelle Clark.

During the broadcast, TNA wrestlers DDP, Kevin Nash, Monty Brown, and Jarrett were involved in a segment where they debated over who would win at Super Bowl XXXIX between the New England Patriots and the Philadelphia Eagles.

The segment concluded with Jarrett attempting to bash an acoustic guitar over Nash's head, due to the two being involved in a match at the Against All Odds PPV event on February 13.

[9] On the March 4 episode of Impact!, Rhodes announced the match would be held under a stipulation—the ringside would be occupied by wrestlers who had previously been attacked by Jarrett.

[9] On the March 4 episode of Impact!, Styles defeated Kid Kash to retain the X Division Championship and earn his spot in the Ultimate X match.

[12] On the March 11 episode of Impact!, it was announced that Ron Killings and Elix Skipper were slated to participate.

The first match pitted the teams of Chris Candido and Andy Douglas against Lex Lovett and Buck Quartermain.

[20] Besides employees appearing in a wrestling role, Coach D'Amore, Johnny Devine, Andy Douglas, Chris Candido, Traci, Trinity, Dusty Rhodes, Larry Zbyzsko, Dirk Diggler, Jonny Fairplay, Shocker, Buck Quartermain, and Lex Lovett all appeared on camera, either in backstage or ringside segments.

[21] It was reported following the event, that TNA wrestler Petey Williams performed with an injury during the eight man tag team match which he had sustained the night before.

The match lasted 8 minutes and 52 seconds before concluding following Roode hitting the back of Konnan's head with his forearm then covering for the pinfall.

Dustin won the encounter following slamming Raven face-first into a steel chair and covering him for the pinfall.

The pre-match stipulation for the contest was that whoever the winning team represented would become the personal assistant of Director of Authority Dusty Rhodes.

The two teams fought for 10 minutes and 18 seconds before a pinfall occurred, as a result of Ron kicking Big Tilly in the face.

After a few seconds, Brown gained the upper hand and performed his signature maneuver the Pounce then covered the masked man for the pin, as the referee began to count.

After the bout, Trytan was shown standing on the entrance ramp watching Brown, leaving the match with an unknown outcome.

Hardy claimed victory in the contest after slamming Abyss into a ladder by using his signature maneuver the Twist of Fate.

[1] The Outlaw was the first to bleed after Nash dropped him face first into an exposed turnbuckle, however the referee had been knocked unconscious, in storyline terms, and did not see this occur.

When the referee awoke, he saw Nash was bleeding and gave the victory to The Outlaw, who had been aided by Jarrett's lawyer Dirk Diggler and a doctor in wiping away the blood on his face.

Near the end of the bout, Styles and Daniels fell from the structure and crashed into the referee, causing him to be knocked unconscious in the storyline.

[18] The main event was a Ringside Revenge match for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship between defending champion Jeff Jarrett and the challenger Diamond Dallas Page.

The wrestlers who appeared at ringside were Konnan, Ron Killings, Monty Brown, B.G., Larry Zbyzsko, Dirk Diggler, Chris Candido, Andy Douglas, and Chase Stevens.

[17] James Caldwell of the Pro Wrestling Torch stated in his review that he felt the Ultimate X Challenge match was "absolutely amazing".

Caldwel referred to Daniels' backflip from the Ultimate X structure represented "what athleticism and amazing pro wrestling is all about".

His lowest rated match during his review was the encounter between The Disciples of Destruction and Phi Delta Slam, which he gave three-quarters of a star.

Rhodes announced that the winner would get their title match at TNA's May PPV event Hard Justice.

[29] Destination X later became an annual event, with the second installment taking place on March 12, 2006 in Orlando, Florida at the TNA Impact!
