On February 13, 2005, Sopp debuted in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling without a name (as Billy Gunn is a WWE trademark) at the TNA Wrestling: Against All Odds (2005) pay-per-view. Shortly thereafter, he started using the name The New Age Outlaw, a reference to the tag team he previously formed with Brian James in WWE, The New Age Outlaws. However, WWE threatened TNA with legal action if he continued to use the name "The New Age Outlaw", so he shortened his name to "The Outlaw". This apparently was not enough to appease WWE as he was renamed "Kip James" (taking his former partner's last name) at the TNA Wrestling: No Surrender (2005) pay-per-view on July 17, 2005. Due to the legal issues with WWE, all TNA DVD releases featuring footage with Sopp as "The Outlaw" (and presumably also as "The New Age Outlaw") have had the name on on-screen graphics blurred, the name silenced out of the audio, and match commentary completely replaced to reflect a retroactive name change to "Kip James". One such DVD is the pay-per-view TNA Wrestling: Lockdown (2005), included in the "TNA Anthology: The Epic Set" box set, in which the silencing of the name during a segment where Dusty Rhodes picks his name from a lottery leaves DVD viewers in the dark as to who just got picked (unless they could read Dusty's lips).

Former member of one of wrestling's most popular stables, D-Generation X.

As Rockabilly, he was managed by The Honky Tonk Man. The gimmick was going nowhere and the WWF decided to pair Billy with Jesse James (The Road Dogg). The two underdog wrestlers would become one of the most beloved tag teams of all time as the New Age Outlaws.

Took place in the first WrestleMania Hardcore match at WrestleMania XV (1999). He defended his Hardcore Title against Al Snow and Hardcore Holly.

Ten time WWF/E Tag Team Champion: Three times with Bart Gunn as The Smoking Gunns, five times with Road Dogg as the New Age Outlaws, and twice with Chuck Palumbo.
