The first edition of Fully Loaded, held in 1998 was an In Your House pay-per-view. The 1999 edition was simply named Fully Loaded as WWF removed In Your House subtitle from pay-per-view events after Backlash: In Your House. Fully Loaded was held for one more year in 2000. In 2001, the event's pay-per-view slot was replaced by the one-off Invasion, and eventually was replaced by Vengeance in 2002.

Fully Loaded continued to be used as a pay-per-view in July for two more years, before being replaced by WWF Invasion in 2001, that was based on The Invasion storyline between WWF and The Alliance.
