Going to the top to try and hit a match-ending move, Daniels was cut off by Chris Harris and both men fought all the way to the top of the cage. TNA cage matches at the end did not have the escape rule and must have a definitive victory via pinfall or submission. Desperate times call for desperate measures and the two teams knew that they would have to go above and beyond to keep their partnership alive.
Each wrestler was able to dig a little bit deeper to hulk up and kick out for the sake of their team. Triple X planted Storm with the Death Sentence, America’s Most Wanted’s own finishing move but the Cowboy somehow managed to kick out. Neither team could put the other away no matter what they tried to do. The energy brought Storm back to his feet and the faces went on a tear, bludgeoning their rivals with rights and lefts and then throwing them into all sides of the cage. A fired up Wildcat unlocked himself and was a ball of rage in one of the most unique forms of a hot tag ever. Almost nothing but a bloody corpse, Storm wrangled the key off the mat and give it to his partner. Storm fought back and dropped the heels to the mat. Daniels and Skipper cut Storm open with the key to the cuffs and condemned Storm to a death sentence. Harris was trapped and forced to watch his tag team partner be the victim of long brutal beatdown that left him a bloodied heap in the middle of the ring. Leading up to this match, Triple X used the cuffs against AMW and beat the faces down on more than one occasion. Not going down without a fight, Daniels and Primetime fought back and opened Harris up using the cage before revealing they had a pair of handcuffs hiding under Daniels’ towel in the corner. With Daniels leaking like a faucet, America’s Most Wanted had the advantage early on. The violence started right from the opening bell as Christopher Daniels bled buckets after being thrown into the cage within the first minutes of the match. America’s Most Wanted, however, were super focused as they walked right into the ring ready for the fight of their life. Triple X were as cocky as ever claiming they were the best tag team in the world. The six sides of steel set the mood as both teams walked out for the feud ender. In order to guarantee an end to this two-year-long feud, the commish Dusty Rhodes ordered that the losing team at Turning Point would be forced to disband… but it would be in the match they made famous in the company: the steel cage!

Triple X still led the series 4-3, however, and the boiling bad blood finally ran over. Things were looking good for this makeshift alliance until Storm and Daniels lost the belts to Team Canada’s Bobby Roode and Eric Young.īoth sides blamed the other for losing the prestigious belts and things escalated in a brutal Last Man Standing match at Victory Road where America’s Most Wanted was victorious. Chris Harris and “Primetime” Elix Skipper would team together to dethrone the Naturals but would lose the titles to the team of James Storm and Christopher Daniels two weeks later. Things took a weird turn in 2004 where both teams formed an uneasy alliance to go after the dastardly duo The Naturals, who held the championship at the time. The blood feud between the two teams even led to the first steel cage match in TNA history where Storm and Harris got the victory with their finish off the top of the cage.
