The main feud heading into Hard Justice is between Samoa Joe and Booker T, with the two fighting over the TNA World Heavyweight Championship.
At TNA Victory Road, Joe defended the TNA World Heavyweight Championship against Booker T, in Booker T's hometown of Houston, Texas. The match went to a no-contest, which meant Joe retained the TNA World Heavyweight Championship. During the match, Joe attacked security, referees, and Booker T without mercy. At one point, Sting entered the arena and tried to calm Joe down. Instead Joe gave Sting the middle finger and turned his back to continue to attack Booker T, who was bleeding from the forehead and laying on his back in the middle of the ring. Sting then hit Joe in the back with a baseball bat and allowed Booker T to get the cover while Booker T's wife (Sharmell) counted the pin, while referee Rudy Charles was unconscious. Booker T and Sharmell then left the arena with the TNA World Heavyweight Championship.
On the July 17th episode of TNA iMPACT, Management Director Jim Cornette demanded that Booker T give the TNA World Heavyweight Championship back to the real champion; Joe. Joe declined and told Booker to keep the belt until Hard Justice, though Joe was still recognized as the official champion. Cornette also said that at Hard Justice Joe will defend the TNA World Heavyweight Championship against Booker T to determine the true champion[/Quote]
