He lost the title to Rick Rude at WrestleMania V on 2 April 1989 and then defeated Rude at the SummerSlam on 28 August that year to reclaim the title. He became a two time Intercontinental Heavyweight Champion with this. One of the most notable was WrestleMania VI’s main event match on April 1, 1990, where the WWF World Heavyweight Championship title from Hulk Hogan and the Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship title from Hellwig were on the line. Hellwig won the match and became the first wrestler to wear both titles at the same time. Nevertheless, Hellwig vacated the Intercontinental Championship as promotion rules limited a wrestler to hold both titles. He lost the title of the WWF World Heavyweight Championship to Sgt. Slaughter at the Royal Rumble on January 19, 1991, in the middle of a sneak attack by Randy Savage, Macho Man, who at the time had feuded with him. In a turn of events that included a feud with WWF owner Vince McMahon on payment and other terms Hellwig was suspended from the promotion in August 1991 and in return he sent his formal letter of resignation to the promotion in October 1991 which was not accepted however by WWF as his contract with the promotion was until September 1992. After McMahon told him, he returned to WWF at WrestleMania VIII on 5 April 1992. But his second stint with the promotion was short-lived as a government crackdown on the use of drugs in wrestling saw Hellwig who used steroids extensively in his professional career as a Wrestler banned from WWF. 
On the other hand, he missed the dates and eventually, on 21 November 1992, left the promotion. He stayed in a semi-retired state wrestling on and off until July 1995, after leaving WWF. He also founded a short-lived professional wrestling school based in Scottsdale Arizona named the Warrior University. His second return to WWF happened during WrestleMania XII on March 31, 1996. However, the tenure was short as the promotion terminated his contract for not performing on several house shows. In 1996 and 1998, with the marketing, he went into many lawsuits and legal actions requesting a claim on owning the Warrior and Ultimate Warrior characters under both contract and copyright law. Hellwig had the last laugh on the matter after the court ruled in his favor, granting him the right to use the novelty face of the brand to portray the manners and costumes of the character of the al-Warrior. Also, in 1996 the Ultimate Warrior came up with a comic book called While Warrior co-written with drawings by the Sharp Brothers and Jim Callahan. He also maintained on his personal website ultimatewarrior.com a blog like the Machete of Warrior. He signed with WCW in 1998 and featured in three promotional matches before retiring from wrestling on 9 November 1998. He subsequently had a brief career as a conservative orator and commentator. His only match since retirement happened in 2008 when he debuted in Barcelona Spain as the Nu-Wrestling Evolution World Heavyweight Champion defeating Orlando Jordan. But he immediately vacated the title. He was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame Award
when he beat Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania VI, capturing the WWF Championship.
