To be fair, during those 5 months, he completely redefined himself from the Top Babyface to the Top Heel. He found the missing pieces of the puzzle and upped his game considerably. What we see out of him today is what Vince McMahon saw in him years ago.
The average fan doesn't care about workrate. But he can work at a high level. He tells some of the best stories in the ring. He is one of the best talkers. Roman looks like an ass kicker, and has no problem wearing a face mask while proving that he is that kind of guy. Dude drew the biggest gate in Smackdown History. People want to see him, and it doesn't matter if he's wrestling Jey Uso or John Cena. He has Paul Heyman in his corner, one of the greatest managers in the history of wrestling, and Roman is still the best part of this act. He carries himself like he's the biggest star in wrestling, because he is. To the point where #2-#5 could be any combination of Big E, Lashley, Walter, Omega, Danielson, Okada, or McIntyre, and that competition is much closer than #2 and #1.
And not only would he not get fined, but Nick Khan would actually thank him for the punch.
