Against All Odds (2012) was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by the Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) promotion, that took place on February 12, 2012 at the Impact Wrestling Zone in Orlando, Florida. It is the eighth and final event under the Against All Odds chronology and the second event in the 2012 TNA PPV schedule.

Against All Odds featured eight professional wrestling matches that involved different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. Wrestlers portrayed villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in the scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.

The main angle featured at Against All Odds was between defending champion Bobby Roode, Jeff Hardy, Bully Ray and James Storm in a Four Way match, feuding over for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship with TNA general manager Sting serving as the Special Ringside Enforcer. On the January 12 edition of Impact Wrestling, Sting scheduled the two matches from the Genesis PPV to take place – the first was Roode-Hardy for Hardy getting screwed by the result of his Genesis title match and Storm-Angle to determine a number one contender to the title. Due to Roode getting intentionally disqualified to retain his title at Genesis, Sting ruled to have decisive winners out of both matches and made sure to stipulate that if Roode acted similar to his behavior at the PPV, his title would be forfeited to Hardy. Later that night, Storm defeated Angle to advance as the winner in their match, and Roode wrestled with Hardy to a no-contest due to outside interference by Bully Ray, who incapacitated the referee. The next week when Storm and Hardy disputed over Roode's actions, and Roode trying desperately to rid himself of contenders, exposed a loophole in the matches the week before which did not meet Sting's orders, and as a result, had nullified the contender's spot, Sting booked a match between Storm and Hardy for contention to the title. With that match concluding in a no-contest identical to a week ago, Storm, Hardy and Sting reached a boiling point by physically combating the two villains over the next set of weeks. Going into the PPV, Ray and Roode experienced some dissension as a unit over Roode looking out for himself, and Sting announced himself as the Special Ringside Enforcer for the Four Way match featuring all four men at Against All Odds.
