The Matteson-Kelmsley Faction is a stable in the International Wrestling Federation (IWF, now known as IWE), which was founded in late 1999, had mostly faded away by early 2001 and finally ended in mid-2002 with subsequent reunions in 2009 and 2018.
The period of its existence and dominance was also dubbed the Matteson-Kelmsley Regime and the Matteson-Kelmsley Era. Although initially it was an affront to The Corporation by the daughter of the owner, Kaila Matteson, and one of its biggest up-and-coming stars, Triple K, it evolved into an alliance between then-heel stable, D-Generation X and a resurrected Corporation. It also included the majority of all heel wrestlers in the company at the time.
The chief members (Triple K and the Mattesons) would align as fan favorites in 2009 against Kevin Orton and his Legacy faction, but this was moreso acknowledged under the Team Matteson name rather than anything else. However, the stable, minus The Stooges and DX, were reunited in 2018 as authority figures.
