Booker debuted in Total Nonstop Action (TNA) in his Booker T character at the Genesis pay-per-view as Sting's mystery partner against Kevin Nash and Kurt Angle for the TNA World Heavyweight Champion. Sharmell also debuted during the same match, interfering on Booker and Sting's behalf.
Booker feuded with Robert Roode for the next five months after Booker claimed he came to TNA to test his skills against the younger talent on the roster.
The rivalry went to the next level when Roode legitimately punched Sharmell, dislocating her jaw. The feud was settled when Booker and Sharmell defeated Roode and Payton Banks in a mixed tag team match at Lockdown 2008.
Booker then turned heel and feuded with Samoa Joe for the next four months over the TNA World Heavyweight Championship. Booker reverted to a gimmick close to his "King Booker" character from WWE, this time claiming to be the king of Africa.
Booker then introduced a new title belt during an episode of Impact!, calling it the Legends championship and naming himself the current champion. Later he, along with Sharmell, Scott Steiner, Kevin Nash, Kurt Angle, and Sting formed TNA's newest stable, Main Event Mafia.
Booker later defended his Legends title against A.J. Styles at Destination X this year, where he lost the belt. He has since moved on to form the tag team of the Main Event Mafia with Scott Steiner. They are currently in the hunt for the TNA Tag Team Championships.
