Within the next few months, Johnson was on the verge of a massive push as he won a #1 Contender's match for the WWE Championship and prior to his first crack at the WWE Championship, Johnson was unfortunately sidelined with legitimate kidney problems.
However, after returning in late 1996, Johnson eventually joined The Nation of Domination alongside Farooq, Kama Mustafa, and D'Lo Brown and by the end of his storyline with The Nation, Ahmed Johnson finally saw his WWE run come to an end by 1998.

In July 2016, Johnson returned to college and earned a degree in criminology from Huston-Tillotson University.
