The first In Your House pay-per-view took place on May 14, 1995. This began a new WWE pay-per-view tradition at a time when the WWE held just five main pay-per-views per year. Those pay-per-views included: Royal Rumble, WrestleMania, King of the Ring, SummerSlam and Survivor Series.
The In Your House name lasted for 29 events over four years, ending the series in February 1999 with St. Valentine’s Day Massacre. After WrestleMania XV that year, the WWE went with a uniform pay-per-view schedule year-round minus the In Your House moniker, starting with April’s Backlash and followed by May’s Over the Edge.
After a 21 year absence, NXT will reboot the In Your House namesake, debuting it’s return on June 7, 2020, this time under the NXT banner.
