It's genuinely a really complicated answer. On one hand, Roman did in fact basically save WWE from what should have been the most brutal clean up job from AEW. Obviously other factors are at play in why that momentum didn't keep, but Roman being as successful as he was as top guy played a HUGE part in keeping WWE in focus.
The high points are usually ridiculously high. Big matches, incredible builds, generational character work. You can genuinely tell that Roman had improved a LOT since his solo run started nearly ten years ago. Especially early on, it was basically the ONLY watchable stuff coming from WWE. That only changed VERY recently.
The problems start to make themselves clear though. Long reign, few defenses. He was very much a prize fighter. Works when you only do so many shows a year, but when you're running two shows a week with PPVs every month, your champions absence is felt. Another problem is that a lot of the greatness from this reign came from the people AROUND Roman, rather than Roman himself. Heyman, Zayn, The Rock, Rhodes, The Usos. Not that Roman was bad, but he was very often overshadowed by his opponents. He didn't feel as dominant as he should have, and was hardly around.
However, given the sheer importance of what he was doing, it was good. Watching just PPVs, you could argue it was maybe one of the greatest reigns of all time. NEARLY a 10/10. Week to week, it was just alright - admittedly more than could be said for a lot of stuff coming from both WWE and AEW, and still a passing grade. 6/10. Overall, probably an 8/10, with some liberties taken for how important this whole thing was to the company and its presentation. It was just good shit.
