Whakaoti i te rerenga e whai ake nei: I muri mai, i whakapau kaha ia ki te "Hiko" tae noa ki te Tihema 2002, i te wa i honoa ai ia ki a Paul Heyman me Big Show, i kite ai a Heyman i te akiaki i a ia ki te whakaingoa ano ki a A-Train me te whakaatu i te kakahu hou, ko te mea whakamutunga i kite i nga kaiwhaiwhai e kii ana "Kia Whakatikahia To Hokinga!" ki a ia i nga wa o ana whakataetae na te mea he makawe tona tinana. I hinga a A-Train me Big Show ki a The Undertaker i WrestleMania XIX, i muri mai ka haere tonu a A-Train i te riri, ka mutu i te tukinga i WrestleMania XIX.
Ko SummerSlam, i ngaro ai a A-Train ki a Undertaker. Katahi ka ngaro a A-Train ki a Chris Benoit i te Kore o te Aroha, ana, i te Raupapa Ora, i runga i te roopu a Brock Lesnar i roto i te whakataetae Raupapa Ora tekau-tangata i roto i te mahi ngaro ki te roopu a Kurt Angle, i reira ia i whakauruhia e Bradshaw. I whakataetae ia i te whakataetae Royal Rumble 2004, a ka whakakorea e te toa whakamutunga, Chris Benoit. Whai muri i te whakatau a Benoit ki te whawhai ki a Triple H mo te Toa Toa Taumaha Taumaha o te Ao i runga i te waitohu Raw, i whakahaerehia e te Kaiwhakahaere Matua a Paul Heyman he SmackDown! waitohu-motuhake Royal Rumble, hei whakatau ko wai ka tutaki ki a Lesnar mo te Toa Toa WWE i No Way Out. I whakakorea a A-Train e Eddie Guerrero, nana nei i wikitoria te tukinga. I whakawhitihia a A-Train ki te waitohu Raw i te Poutu-te-rangi 22, 2004 i mua i tana whakaaturanga "Raw" tuatahi i te Pipiri 7, i ngaro ia ki a Chris Jericho. Ko tana tukinga whakamutunga i hinga ki a Val Venis i runga i "Heat". E rua wiki i muri mai, i wehea ia me te kopare kopare kopare, ka tukuna mai i tana kirimana WWE i te Noema 1, 2004 i mua i tana hokinga mai.
