After previously being unsure how much more wrestling he would actively take part in, Michaels became a roster regular in 2003 and beyond. For seven-plus years after, Michaels was considered a full-timer, barring time away due to injuries or for designated reasons.

Winning the World Heavyweight Championship gave Michaels his fourth, and final, World title. In fact, he would not hold championship gold for the rest of his wrestling career, save for a two-month reign as Tag Team Champion with Triple H in 2009-10.

Otherwise, Michaels served as someone that could put over the newer, younger champions by helping guide them to the best matches of their careers. More notably, he became the ultimate WrestleMania fixture, his presence guaranteeing at least one match-of-the-year candidate. Michaels would prove on many occasions that he didn't need gold to steal the show.
