Victory Road is a professional wrestling TNA+ event held by Total Nonstop Action Wrestling. Victory Road was initially the first three-hour pay-per-view card held by the promotion in November 2004. In 2006, it became an annual pay-per-view for the month of July. All events except for the 2008 edition have been held inside the Impact Zone. It was announced in January 2011 that the event would be moved from July to March, switching places with TNA's traditional March PPV, Destination X.[1]

The PPV event was canceled in December 2012, but has since been revived as a One Night Only PPV in 2014, a television special in 2017, and as an Impact Plus Monthly Special in 2019.

History

Victory Road was a pay-per-view event consisting of a main event and undercard that feature championship matches and other various matches.

From 2006 to 2010, Victory Road took place in the month of July. Beginning with the 2011 event, it took place in the month of March. Victory Road was switched with TNA's traditional March PPV, Destination X.[1]
