I think the opposite has happened. I think they've stopped scripting Roman and this is what we're getting.
The issue with the scripted promos is it puts everyone at the same level. These guys are not actors, not really. So giving them a script makes everything wooden. Some people are better at it. Some people are really good at making other people's words their own. Some aren't. But when you start letting people speak their own words, everything becomes more believable. In this recent Roman run, when I've watched clips and hits on reddit or somewhere else, his mic work is night and day from the "tater tots" bull #### he had leaking out of his mouth a few years ago. In that pre-survivor series contract signing, he did to McIntyre what Cena did to him, and made a good strong opponent look like a fool before they even wrestled.
With all this talk about stars being given more leeway in promos to write their own words, I can't help but think it is more than a coincidence that Roman's ability to talk has improved so much with these rumours.
