Last year's Mania was basically the opposite with the majority of the winners being younger or rising star wrestlers. Had Cena lost, would have been a bigger "changing of the guard" type Mania.
Ideally the best time would be right when the rising or younger star needs it the most as a launch pad. Bret vs Austin and Bryan vs Triple H & Orton/Batista matches are two good Mania examples. Could argue Cena didn't need the win against Bray and Rusev but the way the feuds were built, him winning was the only real option possible.
On the flipside, can't just have the vet be lazily fed away or else it ends up like with Chris Jericho where those wins by Fandango and Bray did nothing to boost their careers.
