LAX emerged out of the breakup of 3Live Kru, which was the result of Konnan being tired of the shenannigans between B.G. James and Kip James. When Kip was permitted into the stable, it was the last straw. At TNA Turning Point 2005, Konnan attacked Kip and B.G. with a chair, signalling that stable's end.
Throughout December, "Bullet" Bob Armstrong, B.G. James' father, tried to get 3Live Kru back together. On the December 31, 2005 episode of TNA iMPACT!, when Bullet Bob encounted Konnan, Konnan sounded like he'd had a change of heart, and was willing to talk. Later in the show, however, two other Hispanic wrestlers--the returning Apolo and the debuting Homicide--attacking Bullet Bob backstage at Konnan's command in an ambush. As a result, the LAX then feuded with B.G. and Kip, "The James Gang", who sought revenge for the attack.
The feud between LAX and the James Gang continued through January 2006. At TNA Against All Odds 2006 on February 12, 2006, Apolo and Homicide were scheduled to wrestle the James Gang. However, Apolo had been released from TNA earlier that month for no-showing an event. His departure was explained on-screen by Konnan, who simply stated that the LAX was expanding, then introduced Apolo's replacement, the debuting Machete. Homicide and Machete went on to lose to the James Gang.
On the March 18, 2006 episode of iMPACT!, Homicide and Machete lost to Shark Boy and Norman Smiley after Konnan inadvertently hit Machete with his slapjack. After the match, Konnan tore off Machete's Puerto Rican t-shirt and threw him out of the stable. On the March 31, 2006 episode of TNA Xplosion, Konnan justified his firing of Machete, pointing to Machete's loss to Shark Boy. Later that evening, Konnan debuted the newest member of the LAX, the returning Hernandez. Hernandez and Homicide teamed together in a loss to Chris Sabin and Jay Lethal.
LAX were next involved in a storyline where they refused to wrestle, claiming that Latinos were "discriminated" against in TNA. The storyline borrowed heavily from the current controversy surrounding illegal immigration. Konnan has even established a "border" around the Spanish announcer area (where he currently provides commentary alongside Moody Jack Melendez) and denies entry to non-Latino individuals. LAX often jumps any wrestler(s) who wander too close to the area.
On the June 29 episode of iMPACT!, Jim Cornette ordered that LAX's work stoppage will mean a "check stoppage." Homicide would wrestle on the July 6 episode, with the stipulation that LAX have a special Spanish ring entrance, taped by Melendez.
Konnan would later make an offer to Ron "The Truth" Killings to join LAX. After Killings denied the offer, LAX would give him a beating. LAX would also attempt to give Sonjay Dutt a similar beating after one of Dutt's matches, but Killings would come out and make the save, leading to a tag team match at Victory Road with LAX's Homicide and Hernandez vs. Killings and Dutt. Hernandez would pick up the victory for LAX after Megabomb-ing Dutt across the ring.
On the July 20 episode of TNA Impact!, the NWA Tag Team Champions A.J. Styles and Christopher Daniels offered every team on the TNA roster a contract to face them for the titles, including LAX. Hernandez and Homicide would brutally attack the champions, with Konnan attacking them with his Slapjack. Konnan would sign the contract in Daniels' blood. Homicide would debut his finishing move: the Gringo Killa, impressing the fans in the iMPACT! zone.
AJ Styles, who took the move would carry this on in a kayfabe injury the next week. Appearing angrily on the screen at the top of the ramp after Hernandez and Homicides' victory over Jerelle Clark and Chasyn Rance. Styles would attempt to go down to face LAX but Daniels held him back. On the August 24 episode of iMPACT, LAX would defeat Styles and Daniels in a Border Brawl to win the NWA World Tag Team Championship.
