Triple - X Triple X was a wrestling stable in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling . The team consisted of Christopher Daniels , Elix Skipper , and Low Ki ( later known as Senshi ) . The team was originally formed in late 2002 as part of Vince Russo ' s Sports Entertainment Xtreme superstable . Daniels , the leader of this group , was a part of it during all of its runs until November 11 , 2007 . History . First Run ( 2002 - 2003 ) . Triple X began as a team under Vince Russo ' s " Sports Entertainment Xtreme " faction . They began teaming on December 18 , 2002 defeating the team of Amazing Red and The S . A . T . . One of the unique trends begun by Triple X was the " Triple X Rule " ( which is precedented by the earlier Freebird Rule ) . When Low Ki and Elix Skipper won the NWA World Tag Team Championship on January 22 , 2003 , from America ' s Most Wanted ( Chris Harris and James Storm ) , TNA officials permitted them to allow Christopher Daniels to defend the title as well . Before each tag team match , all three members of Triple X would stand in the ring , and only when the bell rang would it be known which two of the three would be competing . They made the first title defense on February 5 PPV against Disciples of the New Church ( Brian Lee and Slash ) which ended in a double pin . As a result of this double pin , they were stripped of the titles . On the March 12 PPV , they defeated America ' s Most Wanted to begin their second NWA World Tag Team Championship reign . They began feuding with both Disciples of the New Church and America ' s Most Wanted over the titles . However , they lost the titles to Jerry Lynn and The Amazing Red on April 16 . On May 7 , Christopher Daniels became the first ever solo holder of the NWA World Tag Team Championship . He won a handicap match with then - champions Amazing Red and Jerry Lynn by disqualification ( at the time in TNA , championships could change hands by countout or DQ ) . They used their " Triple X Rule " to allow Elix Skipper to defend with him . During this time , Triple X began their now - legendary feud against America ' s Most Wanted , becoming the only team in TNA history to maintain regular success against the most dominant tag team in TNA history . This included the first cage match in TNA history , in which America ' s Most Wanted finally scored a win against Triple X for the NWA World Tag Team Championship on June 25 . After Low Ki left TNA in July 2003 , Triple X parted ways the next month and both Daniels and Skipper focused on singles careers . However , they had a short lived reunion in January 2004 . Second Run ( 2004 ) . In March , Daniels brought in Low Ki as a surprise partner for the vacant NWA World Tag Team Championship Tournament , in which they defeated The New Franchise ( Michael Shane and Shane Douglas ) and The Naturals ( Andy Douglas and Chase Stevens ) before losing the finals to Kid Kash and Dallas . Afterwards , Low Ki disappeared from TNA again . On May 26 , 2004 , Daniels and Skipper were reunited as members of Team NWA for the World X Cup , which pitted teams from the NWA , Japan , Mexico and Canada against one another in a series of matches for points . With the assistance of Daniels ' and Skipper ' s Triple X teamwork , Team NWA was successful at winning the 2004 World X Cup . After helping Team NWA win the World X Cup , Daniels ended up injuring his shoulder in Japan . After returning a month later , Daniels and Skipper stayed together , this time officially reuniting as Triple X . They went after the NWA Tag Team belts once more , this time in a feud involving long - term enemies America ' s Most Wanted and The Naturals . In an ironic twist of fate , they would each win the belts separately with members of their sworn enemies , America ' s Most Wanted . Elix Skipper and Chris Harris won the titles from The Naturals on September 8 , but were beaten by Daniels and James Storm on September 21 tapings of " Impact ! " , who held them until losing to Team Canada ' s Bobby Roode and Eric Young on October 12 . After that loss , the feud restarted in earnest , leading to a Last Team Standing match at TNA ' s first three - hour monthly pay - per - view Victory Road 2004 . AMW went on to win the match . The two teams met each other in a Six Sides of Steel match at Turning Point 2004 , a rematch of an August 2003 steel cage encounter , where the losing team was forced to disband . In a match that saw Elix Skipper do the now - legendary cagewalk rana , AMW got the win when they handcuffed Daniels to a corner and put the Power - Plex — Triple X ' s own finisher — on Skipper . Due to the loss , Triple X was disbanded and Daniels and Skipper could not tag together again . Split . Following the split at the end of Turning Point , both Christopher Daniels and Elix Skipper pursued singles careers in TNA . Daniels achieved success early on , winning the TNA X Division Championship at Destination X 2005 . His first pay per view title defense was against none other than his former partner , Skipper , whom he defeated at Lockdown 2005 . Daniels ' reign continued through Unbreakable , at which point he lost the belt to A . J . Styles . Daniels later regained the belt in an Ultimate X match at Destination X 2006 against Samoa Joe and Styles , but soon after he lost the belt to Joe . Daniels regained the TNA X Division Championship one more time in a three - way match against Styles and Chris Sabin , before losing it just weeks later to Sabin at Final Resolution 2007 in another three - way match which included Jerry Lynn . Apart from a strong showing early , Skipper met with limited success , and was quickly recruited into Simon Diamond ' s Diamonds in the Rough stable . From there , he proceeded to team with Diamond and David Young until the team was eventually phased out by TNA and Skipper was eventually released . Low Ki returned to TNA in April 2006 at the Lockdown 2006 pay per view as a surprise competitor . His opponent was none other than his former teammate , Christopher Daniels , who was originally scheduled to face Jushin Liger before the latter was forced to pull out of the event . Ki , now utilizing the name " Senshi " , which translates directly from Japanese to " Warrior , " defeated Daniels before eventually going on to win the X Division championship just after Slammiversary 2006 in a three - way match against champion Samoa Joe and Sonjay Dutt . After Senshi lost the belt to Chris Sabin at Bound for Glory 2006 , he faded into the background , participating in the Paparazzi Championship Series through the remainder of 2006 and early 2007 . He went on to defeat Austin Starr at Final Resolution 2007 . Reunion / Third Run ( 2007 - 2008 ) . At Victory Road 2007 , Triple X officially reunited when Senshi and the returning Skipper helped Daniels win the Ultimate X match .

They won their return match against Serotonin on the July 19 episode of " Impact " ! . They followed their victory up on the August 2 episode of " Impact ! " , where Daniels and Senshi defeated " Black Machismo " Jay Lethal and Sonjay Dutt with the help of Elix Skipper .

Daniels and Senshi teamed together at Hard Justice 2007 to take on Jay Lethal and Sonjay Dutt and The Motor City Machine Guns in a triple threat match where Daniels was rolled up by Lethal taking the loss . On the following episode of " Impact ! " Daniels ' X Division Title shot was put on the line against Lethal which he lost after Lethal pinned him with the Lethal Combination . On September 13 edition of " Impact ! " , Daniels would end up winning the bout over the champion Jay Lethal in a non - title match and being rewarded with a X Division Title match at Bound for Glory against Lethal . At Bound for Glory ( 2007 ) , Daniels would lose the match against Lethal after a top rope Lethal Combination . On the same show Skipper and Senshi faced LAX in a number one contender ' s match for the TNA World Tag Team Titles in an Ultimate X match . They would also lose their match on the show as Hernandez would retrieve the X for LAX after a Border Toss of Skipper onto Senshi on the outside of the ring .

They were able to defeat Prince Devitt and Minoru in a tag team match . Senshi left TNA thus ending the tag team .
