I feel Lesnar leaving was THE point that everything went south. He was clearly the future of the company. Afterward they had to scramble for someone to take his place, first Orton, then Cena and neither could get to Lesnar's level with the overall audience.
This is very close to being correct. I still think the next year or so was entertaining. Evolution was still going on for a while and Cena had yet to be invincible vanilla.

Funny sidebar: The wikipedia page for Wrestlemania 20 and 21 have the same picture of Triple H as World Heavyweight Champion.
