Team Dixie was a villainous professional wrestling stable in the promotion Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), the stable consisted of Dixie Carter and other heel wrestlers.
Dixie Carter appeared at the ending segment of Impact Wrestling on September 19, 2013 to confront A.J. Styles over the remarks he has made about the way she was running the company. Carter responded by saying that Styles was not a great wrestler and claimed that she was the one who created the Styles' persona to get marketing for the company. She added that Styles would still be living in poverty if her father didn't pay him and she was the one who created this house, referring to TNA. She was about to leave when Styles was going to respond, but she decided to end the show by cutting off the microphones and turning off the lights, thus turning Dixie into a heel in the process. On the following episode of Impact Wrestling, Carter ripped up Styles' new contract as awarded by Hulk Hogan, then gave Hogan an ultimatum to join forces with her by next week. Hogan declined her offer and quit, Carter initially begged him to reconsider, but then claimed Hogan could not quit because she had fired him, though Hogan had already walked off camera by this point. At Bound For Glory, Carter interfered in the main event and ordered referee Earl Hebner not to count Styles' pin, but Styles would ultimately defeat Bully Ray to become the TNA World Heavyweight Champion. Next week, Carter tried to convince Styles to sign a new contract with TNA, but he refused, leaving the company with the title. On October 29, 2013, Carter vacated the title, even though Styles announced a title defense in AAA promotion. When Dorian Roldán, AAA owner, announced Judas Mesias as Styles' rival, Carter said that she talked with Roldán attempting to cancel the match. Meanwhile, Dixie announced a tournament to crown a new TNA World Heavyweight Champion, as she refused to recognize Styles' reign. Magnus eventually won the tournament and the championship at Impact Wrestling: Final Resolution by defeating Jeff Hardy in the eponymous Dixieland match, with the help of Rockstar Spud and Dixie's storyline nephew Ethan Carter III. They formed "Team Dixie" in the process. Magnus defeated A.J. Styles upon his return to TNA, unifying the titles.
