The inaugural Hard To Kill event took place on January 12, 2020, at The Bomb Factory in Dallas, Texas, where Tessa Blanchard became the first Knockout to win the Impact World Championship by defeating the reigning champion, Sami Callihan, in the main event.[2][3] Since of April of that year, due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, Impact had to present the majority of its programming from a behind closed doors set at Skyway Studios in Nashville, Tennessee.[4] The second Hard To Kill event, which took part on January 16, 2021, at the Skyway Studios, saw the revival of the Impact Knockouts Tag Team Championship, where Fire 'N Flava (Kiera Hogan and Tasha Steelz) won the titles by defeating Havok and Nevaeh in the finals of an eight-team tournament, being the first champions since 2013.[5][6]
The third Hart To Kill event, which took place on January 8, 2022, at The Factory in Deep Ellum in Dallas, Texas, saw the return of live attendance.[7][8] The fifth event took place on January 13, 2024, and was the first premium live event of the rebranded and revived Total Nonstop Action (TNA) Wrestling banner.[9]
