Main Event Mafia Set for Reunion Photo at WrestleCon

TNA’s legendary Main Event Mafia is coming back together for the first time as a full group, with Scott Steiner, Booker T, Sting, Kurt Angle and Kevin Nash set to appear for an official reunion photo during WrestleCon’s Destination Minneapolis event on Friday, July 31, at the Hilton Minneapolis. The convention runs from July 31 through August 2, coinciding with SummerSlam weekend.

The photo op, priced at $280, is a one-time-only opportunity — WrestleCon has made clear this is the first occasion these five have officially assembled for a dedicated group photo. Promotional art shows all five in suits against Minneapolis’ skyline, evoking the faction’s slick, mob-boss aesthetic from its TNA heyday.

For longtime TNA fans, this is a significant moment. The Main Event Mafia debuted on the October 23, 2008, episode of Impact!, formed by Kurt Angle alongside Sting, Kevin Nash and Booker T, with Scott Steiner joining shortly after. Sharmell was a fixture at Booker T’s side throughout the group’s run. The stable’s entire premise was built on the idea that TNA’s established veterans deserved more respect and power than the promotion’s rising stars — a philosophy that fueled one of the company’s defining rivalries against The Front Line, led by AJ Styles and Samoa Joe.

At its peak, the Main Event Mafia held a stranglehold on TNA’s championship scene, with its members collectively holding nearly every major title in the company at various points. It remains one of the most talked-about factions in TNA history, not just for its in-ring dominance but for the star power it assembled — a genuine collection of veteran main-eventers operating as a unified front rather than individual attractions.

While variations on the Main Event Mafia name and concept have popped up in wrestling nostalgia circles over the years, this appears to be the first time fans will get all five original members together in one official capacity, even if it’s a convention photo rather than an in-ring reunion. That distinction matters — WrestleCon has increasingly become a destination for these kinds of legacy moments, giving fans access to pairings and reunions that promotions themselves rarely facilitate.

The timing lines up neatly with SummerSlam weekend, when Minneapolis will already be flooded with wrestling fans in town for WWE’s biggest summer show and the surrounding convention circuit. Booking a nostalgia-driven reunion like this alongside that traffic is a smart play by WrestleCon, tapping into a faction whose cultural cachet has only grown since TNA’s 2008–2009 run, especially as several of its members — Sting, Angle, Nash and Booker T — have gone on to Hall of Fame recognition in WWE.

No in-ring appearance or additional programming has been mentioned alongside the photo session, so for now this looks to be strictly a fan-convention moment rather than any kind of storyline revival. Still, seeing all five stand together again, even for a single posed photo, will be a treat for anyone who remembers when the Main Event Mafia ran TNA’s main event scene into the ground for its rivals.

First time ever, happening on Friday only, a group pro photo with the Main Event Mafia.https://t.co/6Zv6ZwDFHP pic.twitter.com/CE36Ri9jQo
