MJF is very much a coward who does his best to avoid matches against him being sanctioned, which the commentary team makes a big point of mentioning. Meanwhile, Roman is still hailed by the commentators as a hero, exactly as he was before he'd turned heel. "Our most dominant champion," "a fighting champ," "900 plus days on top," and so on. This constant praise seems very much at odds with his actual schedule and underhanded tactics. To hear them speak, you'd think he was defending the title every night and retaining it through clean wins.
