In Your House is a professional wrestling series of events created by WWE, a professional wrestling promotion based in Connecticut. 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). In 2020, In Your House was revived for an NXT-branded event to mark the 25th anniversary of the first In Your House PPV, and it aired on the WWE Network.

The original concept was that in the months when the promotion was not holding one of its major PPV events, they would offer a two-hour PPV for a lower price. In Your House was established in response to a move by competitor World Championship Wrestling (WCW) to increase their annual pay-per-view events. The In Your House branding was retired following February 1999's St. Valentine's Day Massacre: In Your House event, as the company moved to install permanent names for each of its monthly events, which began with Backlash. After 21 years, the promotion revived the In Your House branding for an NXT TakeOver event entitled NXT TakeOver: In Your House.

History[edit]

The first In Your House pay-per-view (PPV) was held on May 14, 1995 in Syracuse, New York at the Onondaga War Memorial. To promote this first event, the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE) held a sweepstakes to give away a new house in Orlando, Florida.[1][2]

The original concept of In Your House was that in the months when the WWF was not holding one of its then-five major PPV events (WrestleMania, King of the Ring, SummerSlam, Survivor Series, and Royal Rumble, which at the time ran for three hours and retailed for US$29.95), they would offer a two-hour PPV, priced at US$14.95. The price was raised to US$19.95 starting in December 1995 with In Your House 5. The WWF did this in response to a move by competitor World Championship Wrestling (WCW) to increase their annual pay-per-view events (in 1995, WCW held 9 PPV events, then 10 in 1996, and finally started airing monthly events in 1997). Notwithstanding the addition of more WWF events, WCW's events regularly ran between 2.5–3 hours. Starting with Ground Zero: In Your House in September 1997, the WWF expanded all of its In Your House events to three hours, thus matching the runtime of its major PPV events.[3]

The first six In Your House events were not promoted with subtitles, which were retroactively added (show below in the table in small print), sometimes making use of a tagline. The first event to officially use a subtitle was the seventh event, In Your House 7: Good Friends, Better Enemies. From September 1997 onwards, the subtitles replaced the In Your House label as the main titles (e.g., the PPV was not named In Your House: Ground Zero but Ground Zero: In Your House), until regular named shows such as Backlash and Unforgiven took over in 1999. The In Your House branding was retired following February 1999's St. Valentine's Day Massacre: In Your House event, as the company moved to install permanent names for each of its monthly events, which began with Backlash. Early advertising for that year's Backlash featured the "In Your House" branding until it was quietly dropped in the weeks leading to the pay-per-view.[3]

In 2002, the WWF was renamed to World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), and in 2011, the promotion ceased using its full name, with WWE becoming an orphaned initialism. On May 13, 2020, WWE announced that the In Your House branding would be revived for their NXT brand division as an NXT TakeOver event entitled TakeOver: In Your House on June 7, which aired on the WWE Network. The announcement and the event marked the 25th anniversary of the first In Your House PPV.[4][5]
