AtArmageddon,Storm and Regal competed in a fatal-four-way tag team elimination match for the World Tag Team Championship but failed to win the titles. The next month, the duo won the World Tag Team Championship on two separate occasions.[17]The first was by defeatingBooker TandGolduston the January 6, 2003 episode ofRawwith help fromChief Morley,who was appointed "Raw Chief of Staff", but they lost the title at theRoyal RumbletoThe Dudley Boyz.Storm and Regal began their second reign as World Tag Team Champions the next night onRawby defeating the Dudley Boyz with help from Morley again.

AtJudgment Day,Storm competed in a Battle Royal for the vacant WWE Intercontinental Championship which was won by Christian.

From there, Storm was briefly involved in a storyline in whichStone Cold Steve Austin,an authority figure, encouraged the fans to chant "boring" during Storm's matches including one with Storm losing to newcomerGarrison Cadeon June 16, 2003, thanks to Austin bringing out a pillow and blanket and snoring loudly into the microphone, and other distracting antics. Storm eventually found help fromGoldustwho helped improve Storm'scharisma,which eventually turned Storm into afaceand Storm started dancing. He soon rejoined Morley, who had also become a face and reverted to his Val Venis character. Their reformed team began entering the ring with very attractive women but this time their tag team never got a push. Storm and Goldust then began teaming together for a short period of time. AtArmageddon,Storm and Val Venis competed in a Tag Team Turmoil match for the World Tag Team Championship which was won by Ric Flair and Batista. From December 2003 to March 2004, Storm mainly competed onSunday Night Heat.
