Overall, working the match, it being good (I don't know about five stars, but w.e. Meltzer loves him), and having time off immediately after did wonders to his run. I was a doomposter, and thought they'd fuck him up or he'd do Codyverse shit, but they've managed to steer correctly. If anything, Roman is kind of directionless.
