On October 31, 2005 Vader returned to WWE RAW in a total shocker as a heel to assist Jonathan Coachman, along with Goldust, in his feud with Steve Austin.
However, in an embarrassing turn of events, Vader stumbled and fell to the floor upon exiting the ring, visibly cursing as he was helped up by Jonathan Coachman and Goldust.
Vader went on to accompany Coach and Goldust at Taboo Tuesday on November 1 as The Coach went against Batista, who replaced an injured Steve Austin. Both Goldust and Vader became victims of Batista's spinebuster and Batista went on to win the match by pinning 'The Coach'.
Vader has not made an appearance with the WWE since.
