The 2012 Destination X was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by the Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) promotion, which took place on July 8, 2012 at the Impact Wrestling Zone in Orlando, Florida.[2] It was the eighth show under the Destination X chronology and seventh event in the 2012 TNA PPV schedule. Unlike last year, the event was held inside of a four-sided ring as opposed to a six-sided ring.

Nine matches were contested at the event. In the main event, Austin Aries defeated Bobby Roode to win the TNA World Heavyweight Championship. In other prominent matches, A.J. Styles defeated Christopher Daniels in a Last Man Standing match and Samoa Joe defeated Kurt Angle in a Bound for Glory Series match. The remainder of the show hosted an X Division Tournament to determine a new X Division Champion.

In October 2017, with the launch of the Global Wrestling Network, the event became available to stream on demand.[3] It would later be available on Impact Plus in May 2019.[4]
