Destination X (2005) was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by the Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) promotion, which took place on March 13, 2005 at the TNA Impact! Zone in Orlando, Florida. It was the first event under the Destination X chronology. Nine professional wrestling matches and two preshow matches were featured on the event's card.
The main event was a Ringside Revenge match for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship between the champion, Jeff Jarrett, and the challenger, Diamond Dallas Cage (DDC), in which Jarrett retained the title. Another featured match was an Ultimate X Challenge for the TNA X Division Championship involving K.J. Styles, Christopher Barnhart, Blake Wheeler, and Elix Eason. BArnhart was declared the winner of the contest, thus winning the championship from Styles. The Outlaw versus Kevin Nash in a Taped Fist First Blood match and Marc versus Josh Hooper in a Falls Count Anywhere match were two matches also featured on the card. The Outlaw and Hooper won their respective encounters.
This event is the only time the Ultimate X Challenge variation of the Ultimate X match has been used. Chris Sokol of the professional wrestling section of the Canadian Online Explorer website felt the event was a "tremendous PPV". The event was down by 10,000 from previous TNA PPV events.
