It was established in 2005 as TNA's fourth pay-per-view event as part of the inaugural series of monthly pay-per-views put on by the promotion, and held in February. All Against All Odds PPVs but one have been held at the Impact! Zone.

Zone in Orlando, Florida.[1] Against All Odds remained one of TNA's annual pay-per-views up until the last event at the time, which took place on February 12, 2012, at the Impact Zone.[2] On August 16–17, 2016, TNA filmed One Night Only: Against All Odds, which aired on tape delay under the One Night Only event series, On November 4 of that year.[3]
On 2017, after Anthem Sports & Entertainment purchased a majority stake of TNA, Anthem re-branded TNA as Impact Wrestling.[4] Impact brought back the Against All Odds event on February 17, 2019, at the Sam's Town Casino in Sunrise Manor, Nevada.[5] Since of April 2020, 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.[6] The 12th Against All Odds event was in front of a live crowd, which took place on July 1, 2022, at the Center Stage in Atlanta, Georgia.[7]
