 TNA held a Three Way War between A.J. Styles , Booker T , and Christian Cage at the show . Leading into the event , Styles represented the younger wrestlers in the company , while Booker T represented the veterans . Cage was neutral in the storyline , due to not having revealed which side he had aligned with . This upset Styles in the storyline , who wanted Cage to join the younger wrestlers . On the September 25 episode of Impact ! , Styles fought Booker T in a standard match . Booker T won the bout after bashing Styles in the head with a steel briefcase . Styles blamed the loss on Cage , who had interfered in the bout and accidentally cost Styles the win due to a miscommunication . On the October 2 episode of Impact ! , the team of Cage , Styles , and Jay Lethal teamed to face the team of Booker T and Team 3D ( Brother Devon and Brother Ray ) in a Six Man Tag Team match . Another miscommunication between Styles and Cage occurred in the contest , allowing Booker T to pin Cage to win the bout . This led to the October 9 episode of Impact ! , when Management Director Jim Cornette announced that Booker T versus Styles with Cage as Special Guest Referee would be the main event of that telecast to settle the issue . Styles defeated Booker T during the show , with Cage assaulting both wrestlers after the contest . Cornette then promoted a Three Way War at Bound for Glory in order to end the overall conflict .
