Total Nonstop Action Wrestling Sporadic appearances (2009–2012) After making only occasional appearances on
pay-per-views, Carter made her first appearance on
TNA Impact! on August 27, 2009, interviewing new signee
Bobby Lashley. In early 2010, after the debuts of
Hulk Hogan and
Eric Bischoff, Carter became a regular authority figure on
Impact!, before losing her on-screen power to the two of them, on the October 14, 2010, edition of
Impact!. However, Carter would make another appearance on the November 25, 2010, edition of
Reaction when, in storyline, she informed Hogan and Bischoff that a judge filed an
injunction against the two on behalf of Carter over not having signatory authority. On the March 3, 2011, edition of
Impact!, the result of the court battle between Carter and Hogan was revealed, with Hogan declaring himself as the new head of TNA Wrestling. Carter returned to TNA on October 16 at
Bound for Glory, when
Sting defeated Hogan to bring her back to power. Carter made an appearance on the December 8 edition of
Impact Wrestling, along with Sting to confront
TNA World Heavyweight Champion,
Bobby Roode. The segment ended with Roode spitting in Carter's face. In the summer of 2012, Carter was also the focal point in a storyline where
Kazarian and
Christopher Daniels accused her of having an affair with company TNA mainstay
A.J. Styles.
The duo provided compromising footage of Carter and Styles entering a hotel together as well as photographs of them embracing. Carter's real-life husband Serg Salinas made a televised appearance on
Impact Wrestling where he knocked Styles to the ground. It was ultimately revealed that Carter and Styles were merely helping a mutual friend, Claire Lynch, work through drug addiction issues.
Dixieland (2013–2014) Carter appeared at the ending segment of
Impact Wrestling on September 19, 2013, to (in character) confront AJ 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 (TNA). She was about to leave when Styles was going to respond, she decided to end the show by cutting off the microphones and turning off the lights, thus turning into a
villainess in the process. On the following episode of
Impact Wrestling, Carter ripped up AJ 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, the evil Dixie interfered in the main event and ordered referee
Earl Hebner not to count Styles' pin; however, Styles would ultimately defeat
Bully Ray to become the TNA World Heavyweight Champion. Next week, she tried to convince Styles to sign a new contract with TNA, but Styles refused, leaving the company with the title. On October 29, 2013, Carter vacated Styles's title. However, Styles announced a title defense in Asistencia, Asesoría y Administración promotion (otherwise known as
Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide) . When Dorian Roldán, AAA owner, announced
Judas Mesias as AJ's rival, Carter said that she talked with Roldán attempting to cancel the match. Meanwhile, she announced a tournament to crown a new TNA 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. On January 9, 2014, Magnus defeated AJ Styles upon his return to TNA, unifying the titles. Styles left TNA after the match. On January 30, 2014,
Montel Vontavious Porter debuted in TNA as an investor and entered into a feud with Carter. At
Lockdown 2014, Dixie Carter's team of
Bobby Roode,
Austin Aries, and
BroMans (
Robbie E and
Jessie Godderz) lost to
MVP's team of himself,
The Wolves, and
Willow in a
Lethal Lockdown match after interference from the special referee,
Bully Ray, who was initially intended to be the "insurance" for Dixie's team. As a result of her team's defeat,
MVP took control of TNA as the (storyline) Director of Wrestling Operations. Following the events of Lockdown, Dixie feuded with Bully Ray, who promised that he would put her through a table. On the June 27 tapings of
Impact that aired August 7, Carter was put through a table by
Bully Ray.
Various appearances (2015–2016) At the June 26, 2015 tapings for the July 8 episode of
Impact Wrestling, Carter made her first televised appearance after a nearly year long absence. After her nephew, Ethan Carter III, finished his match with Kurt Angle, Carter admitted that she was on a power trip whose ego got the best of her, and that the company doesn't belong to her or her nephew, but to the fans and apologized for her actions for the past year and a half saying that she would not make those same mistakes again, this would turn Dixie into a
babyface once again. On the January 5 live debut of
Impact Wrestling on
Pop TV, Dixie opened the show feuding with Ethan Carter III and ended up leaving abruptly when
Eric Young attacked
Matt Hardy, who was confronting Carter. == Personal life ==
