Frazier along with Gangrel returned to the WWE ring in late 2004, reprising the Viscera gimmick and being brought in as part of an storyline between the Undertaker and JBL. After losing to the Undertaker on an edition of SmackDown, Viscera was traded to RAW.
On November 1, 2004 Viscera re-debuted in the WWE on the RAW brand as Christian's "one night only Problem Solver", as regular Problem Solver Tyson Tomko was unavailable. Viscera would assault Shelton Benjamin for Christian.
Viscera remained a regular on RAW's sister show Heat from that point despite a few appearances on RAW. However, Viscera would defeat Tajiri on the January 24, 2005 edition of RAW in a Royal Rumble Qualifying match. Viscera would enter the Royal Rumble #23 but was eliminated by John Cena.
After this Viscera disappeared from RAW for unknown reasons until March 20, 2005 edition of Heat when Viscera returned and defeated Simon Dean and quickly became dominant regular on Heat.
In April 2005, Viscera aligned himself with Trish Stratus and began a feud with Kane. On May 1, 2005 at Backlash, he was defeated by Kane, who had Stratus's rival Lita in his corner. After the match, Viscera splashed Stratus when she berated him for losing. As a result, Viscera turned face for the first time since his return to WWE, changed his ring attire (now wearing what WWE commentators refer to as "Pajamas") and was referred to as "The World's Largest Love Machine". His catchphrase became "I Gots To Have It" and he also actively began losing weight. His weight stat on his WWE.com profile began to make a constant decline.
With Trish injured, Viscera turned his attentions to RAW's ring announcer Lilian Garcia, who he repeatedly tried to seduce while eating nachos. Viscera was eventually successful, winning the affections of Garcia, and his amorous nature led to RAW commentators Jim Ross and Jerry "The King" Lawler dubbing him "the 500 pound love machine." But at Vengeance, when Lilian proposed to Viscera, former WWE superstar The Godfather and his Hoes made a rare appearance to ask Viscera if he wanted to "climb aboard the ho train". Viscera replied "all aboard the ho train!" and left with the Godfather and the hoes, leaving a crying Lilian Garcia behind in the ring.
Viscera would go on to briefly feud with Tyson Tomko and The Heart Throbs, teaming up with another "Ladies Man", Val Venis as V-Squared. While wrestling on Heat, they squashed a number of other tag teams. A few weeks later, they defeated then-World Tag Team Champions Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch on several occasions. V-Squared got their first title shot in a fatal-four way tag team match along with The Heart Throbs and the team of Snitsky and Tyson Tomko, only to be squashed by then-Champions Kane and The Big Show.
Frazier was injured on the October 31st episode of RAW, when getting into the ring. Triple H compensated for this by squashing him in their match. Viscera worked through the injury, even competing in an Elimination Chamber Qualifying match, which he lost, on the December 12th edition of RAW.
In January 2006, Both Val Venis and Viscera would be involved in separate comedy bits with Shelton Benjamin's storyline Momma, Viscera had his happen on his return to PPV wrestling at 2006's New Years Revolution in Albany, New York. Viscera started chatting up Shelton's momma and wanted to "spank that ass"; he would go on to be defeated later in the night by Shelton Benjamin with help from momma.
On the January 20th edition of Heat, Viscera won an entry to the 2006 Royal Rumble by winning a Four-Man Battle Royal against Tyson Tomko, Lance Cade, and Gregory Helms. Viscera, in turn, drew the 27th entry to the Royal Rumble. After entering the ring, Viscera dry humped and eliminated Matt Hardy and was eliminated minutes later by Chris Masters and Carlito after taking an RKO from Randy Orton.
On February 10th, V-Squared was featured in an elimination three-way tag match on Heat against tag teams of The Heart Throbs, and Tyson Tomko & Snitsky, with the winners of the match earning a shot at the World Tag Team Championships. V-Squared would win this match with Viscera pinning Snitsky for the final fall. However, V-Squared would fall short of the titles, losing the match to Big Show and Kane on the February 27 edition of RAW.
On the March 27th edition of Raw, V-Squared teamed with Eugene in a three-on-three tag match against three members of the Spirit Squad. They were defeated after Venis was pushed off the top rope by one of the Spirit Squad members who was not participating in the match. After the match, on WWE.com Unlimited Val Venis is shown being helped to the back.
With Val Venis out on injury, Viscera would return to singles competition, competing mainly on Heat and appearing on Raw mainly during WWE.com Unlimited segments. Viscera would take his singles career further, once again attempting to gain the affections of Lilian Garcia while feuding with Umaga before exploiting a legit incident, involving Charlie Haas accidentally injuring Garcia, to begin a feud with Haas. This feud would develop to see Haas also show an interest in Garcia before she rejected both men and they turned their back on her, before becoming a heel tag team together until splitting in December 2006 when Haas reformed The World's Greatest Tag Team with Shelton Benjamin.
