Snow's last championship reign came on March 11, 2002, when he defeated Goldust to win his last Hardcore Championship. He lost the title to his former "Tough Enough" student, Maven, a few days later. He was drafted to "SmackDown!" as part of the 2002 Brand Extension, where he teamed up with Maven. After taking time off again for another season of "Tough Enough", Snow returned as a member of the "Raw" roster and eventually became a commentator for "Sunday Night Heat" alongside Jonathan Coachman. When Coachman sided with Eric Bischoff, Snow followed suit, turning heel. The two feuded with Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler, and briefly replaced them at the "Raw" announce table after a victory at Unforgiven in 2003. When "Tough Enough IV" came to "SmackDown!", Snow was on the scene and turned face once again.
