In Your House

In Your House is a professional wrestling series created by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE) that aired on pay-per-view (PPV) from May 1995 to February 1999. After 21 years, the name was revived for an NXT-branded event in 2020 to mark the 25th anniversary of the first In Your House PPV.

This article is about the professional wrestling pay-per-view series. For the video game named after this series, see WWF in Your House. For the song by The Cure, see Seventeen Seconds.

The original concept was that, in months when the WWF was not holding one of its 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 $29.95), they would offer a two-hour PPV, priced at US$14.95. The price was raised to $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; in 1996, 10 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.

The WWF retired the In Your House branding for its monthly pay-per-views 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. Early advertising for that year's Backlash featured the "In Your House" branding until it was quietly dropped in weeks leading to the pay-per-view. In 2020, the now WWE revived the In Your House name for an NXT TakeOver event titled NXT TakeOver: In Your House.

History

The first six In Your House events were not promoted with subtitles, which were retroactively added (given below 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 Fully Loaded and Unforgiven took over in 1999.

To promote the first event, WWF held a sweepstakes to give away a new house in Orlando, Florida.[1][2]

On May 13, 2020, WWE announced that In Your House would be revived for their NXT brand division as an event titled NXT TakeOver: In Your House on June 7. The announcement and the event marked the 25th anniversary of the first In Your House PPV.[3][4]
