The events originally aired on pay-per-view (PPV) from May 1995 to February 1999 when the promotion was still called the World Wrestling Federation (WWF; renamed WWE in 2002).
In Your House was established in response to a move by competitor World Championship Wrestling to increase its annual PPV events.
After 21 years and in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, WWE revived In Your House for NXT in 2020 and it was subsequently held annually in June until its final event in 2022.
To promote this first event, the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE) held a sweepstakes to give away a new house in Orlando, Florida.
[3] The first six In Your House events were not promoted with subtitles, which were retroactively added (shown below in the table in small print), sometimes making use of a tagline.
Following this, several of the In Your House shows were rebranded as their own PPV chronologies, including Over the Edge, Fully Loaded, Unforgiven, No Way Out, Judgment Day, and Bad Blood.
