Since its inception, the event has been held exclusively in an indoor arena in Orlando, Florida, with all events taking place in the Impact Zone until 2019.

Each event features talent from TNA competing in various professional wrestling match types.

TNA discontinued the majority of the monthly pay-per-views in 2013 in favor of new pre-recorded One Night Only events.

The first event was held December 5, 2004 and aired live on PPV, and was the second event held by TNA to be established as an annual PPV.

However, in 2008, TNA chose without explanation to hold the event in November and produce Final Resolution in December.
