A.J. Styles and Christopher Daniels were recurring tag team partners in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), having won the NWA World Tag Team Championship two times in their regular run as teammates. In real life, Styles and Daniels are best friends, and both men have named their sons' middle names after one another - Styles' son, Ajay Covell Jones, with Daniels' real last name, and Daniels' son, Joshua Allen Covell, with Styles' real first name, from which comes the A. in A.J. Styles. This fact was referenced in the storylines that followed the 2009 return of Daniels in TNA.

Styles and Daniels were originally linked together in TNA through the Vince Russo-led faction known as Sports Entertainment Xtreme. Daniels was a member of the X-Division trio assembled by Russo known as Triple X, along with Low Ki and Elix Skipper, whereas Styles was the on-again, off-again centerpiece of the group. However, particular interaction between the two was limited at the time, and their association faded out following the dissolution of SEX.

Their first notable interactions came throughout their feuds for the TNA X Division Championship. They feuded for most of 2005 over the title, with Styles as the fan favorite cornerstone of the division and Daniels as a villain driven by jealousy and ego. To add backstory to Daniels' motivation, reference was occasionally made to the first match the two ever had against one another back in October 2001 before the inception of TNA. Some of the most notable matches between the two include the series of three way matches they had with Samoa Joe: their three-way main event match for the title at Unbreakable in particular is still widely considered one of the top matches in the company's history.
