#1 AJ Styles & Christopher Daniels vs. LAX in a Six Sides of Steel Match for the NWA World Tag Team Titles - Bound For Glory 2006

Bound For Glory 2006 was the first to take place outside of the Impact Zone in Orlando, Florida. It took place in Detroit, Michigan and featured many huge matches, including Jeff Jarrett defending the NWA World Heavyweight Championship against Sting in the main event. However, the showstealer was centered on the tag team division.

AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels stole the show the year prior at Bound For Glory 2005, but their relationship soon changed when Samoa Joe viciously attacked Daniels and took him out of action. It was Styles who made the save and defended the honor of his former rival against the Samoan Submission Machine.

Despite Daniels winning the X-Division Championship against Joe and Styles in his return, AJ and Christopher soon formed their own tag team and looked to elevate that division now.

AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels defeated America's Most Wanted at Slammiversary to win the NWA Tag Team Titles, but a new force would stand in their way.

Konnan introduced a new tag team of Homicide and Hernandez known as the Latin American Xchange or LAX. The two men would beat Daniels and Styles in an impromptu Border Brawl Match on IMPACT to win the NWA Tag Team Titles, but Styles and Daniels regained the gold in an Ultimate X Match at No Surrender. This set the stage for the final blowoff at Bound For Glory 2006.

To make sure this finally settled the score, the rematch was made a Six Sides of Steel Match to make sure these four men decided the better tag team once and for all. The Bound For Glory 2006 clash had everything fans desired out of a bitter steel cage match. It was full of hate, drama and powerful storytelling.

Konnan handed Homicide the ghetto fork at one point, allowing him to stab Christopher Daniels in the head to bust him open. Daniels fought with resilency to get his tag team back in this Bound For Glory 2006 contest. AJ Styles had to fight even more to make up for how much blood his partner had lost. AJ was phenomenal, hitting a stunning cross body off the top of the cage to Hernandez.

LAX just overwhelmed the babyfaces though. They took out Daniels by choking him with a coat hanger and then double teamed Styles. Hernandez hit a massive clothesline and then Homicide followed with the Gringo Killer to win the NWA Tag Team Titles for the second time.

This was a physically intense, brutal and bloody war that was the best Bound For Glory match that has ever taken place.
