Christian's Coalition (also known as Team Cage) was a villainous professional wrestling faction in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) led by Christian Cage. Shortly after the disbanding of the stable, the Team Cage name was used at TNA's Lockdown for Christian's teams. The Christian Coalition name was recycled from Christian and Tomko in World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), where they referred to Christian's fan base as the Christian Coalition. History Formation Reprising that shared role between the two started from 2004-2005 in WWE, Christian Cage originally brought Tomko in to TNA as a personal enforcer in late-2006 to help him regain the NWA World Heavyweight Championship.

During the event Steiner also abandoned Cage prior to his main event match, forcing him to seek out a replacement enforcer for the event. He would be unsuccessful in that venture, yet still manage to defeat Samoa Joe to retain his NWA World Heavyweight title.
