...like they're about to do with Bray Wyatt.

Jericho is more over/closer to getting a face reaction right now. So you're probably right.

You don't give them to a guy hoping he gets over. It just looks bad. You put some actual effort into getting them over AND THEN give it to them. WrestleMania main event spots and titles should be used as a coronation when someone gets over. That's how you keep them meaningful.
Trouble is they're not finding the balance. Styles is the closest thing they've got to an over Main Event level talent on SDL and he'll likely be feuding with his boss, a non-wrestler instead of having a barn stormer of a match with a Cena or Orton.
