#3 AJ Styles vs. Christopher Daniels
AJ Styles vs Christopher Daniels was almost the greatest feud in company history, and that is on their matches alone. AJ and Daniels feuded on and off for seven years, from 2005 - 2012.
The two mainly feuded over the X Division Championship over their first year, which included two 30-minute Iron Man matches at Against All Odds and Bound For Glory in 2005. Samoa Joe was then inserted into the feud, which provided the best matches in company history. Following this, AJ and Daniels formed a very successful and popular tag team in 2006 where they held the NWA Tag Team Championship twice. In 2009, they advanced up the card and feuded for AJ's World Heavyweight Championship.
The two began feuding again in 2011. Daniels became frustrated after AJ defeated him in the main event of the first ever all X Division pay-per-view, Destination X 2011. AJ would defeat Daniels several more times on Impact and in an I Quit match at Bound For Glory that year. By this point, you could still consider this to be the best feud in TNA Impact history, that is until they re-opened it one last time. Daniels revealed a series of photographs insinuating a relationship between Styles and then TNA president Dixie Carter. Styles and Carter revealed they were not having an affair, but were helping an addicted pregnant woman named Claire Lynch overcome her problems.
This, along with AJ being the father of her unborn baby, became known as the 'Claire Lynch Saga', the worst angle in TNA history. While the matches between AJ and Daniels remained thrilling, everything with Claire Lynch was too horrible to overlook. Daniels defeated AJ at Final Resolution 2012, in what was billed as their "final match".
