[7] By the mind 1990s, the "de la Muerte" tag team had broken up, as Arkangel decided to focus on singles competition instead.

On September 25, 1998, Arkangel defeated El Torero for the Mexican National Welterweight Championship, bringing the title back to Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) for the first time in five years.

[8][9] Five months later, Arkangel won the CMLL World Welterweight Championship from Super Delfin on a show in Kawasaki, Japan.

In 2004, Arkangel held the Distrito Federal Welterweight Championship for a short period of time before losing the title to Ludwig Star.

On October 18, 2009, Arkangel was one of 12 wrestlers who put his mask on the line in a 12-man Luchas de Apuestas cage match.

As part of his role Arkangel transitioned into working in the second or third match of the card against younger wrestlers to give them more experience and further their training.

In the latter half of the 2010s Pasillas became the head coach of the CMLL lucha libre school,[14] a position he was first introduced as when CMLL presented Generación 2011, a group of trainees under Arkangel's supervision that included Magnus, Dragon Lee (who later became known as "Místico"), Enrique Vera Jr., Hombre Bala Jr., Super Halcón Jr., El Hijo del Signo and Boby Zavala.

[17] Arkangel would hold the Chilean-based Federacion Universitaria de Lucha Libre (FULL) world championship on two occasions between 2013 and 2015.

[19] Pasillas' final wrestling match was on June 9, 2018, and saw the team of Arkangel, Kwato-San and Sangre Azteca defeat the trio of Bengala, Eléctrico and Oro Jr. on the undercard of an Arena Coliseo show.
