Hard To Kill was a professional wrestling premium live event produced by Total Nonstop Action Wrestling that was annually held during the month of January. The event was first held in 2020 and had since become one of the promotion's "Big Four" events (along with Rebellion, Slammiversary, and Bound for Glory).

History The inaugural Hard To Kill event took place on January 12, 2020, at The Bomb Factory in Dallas, Texas, where Tessa Blanchard became the first Knockout to win the Impact World Championship by defeating the reigning champion, Sami Callihan, in the main event. Since of April of that year, 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. The second Hard To Kill event, which took part on January 16, 2021, at the Skyway Studios, saw the revival of the Impact Knockouts Tag Team Championship, where Fire 'N Flava (Kiera Hogan and Tasha Steelz) won the titles by defeating Havok and Nevaeh in the finals of an eight-team tournament, being the first champions since 2013.

The third Hard To Kill event, which took place on January 8, 2022, at The Factory in Deep Ellum in Dallas, Texas, saw the return of live attendance. The fifth and final event took place on January 13, 2024, and was the first premium live event under the rebranded and revived Total Nonstop Action (TNA) Wrestling banner.
