The key is does he get a consistent reaction in Des Moines Iowa in front of 8000 fans, and not just for one spot in a match You can easily build up to one big spot in a match, but to be main event level you need to be able to connect throughout a 15-25 minute match against someone other than John Cena.

I feel like I'm picking on Cesaro, but believe me I really think he's talented. I just think I see the flaws that upper management sees. I mentored it before, but in the ring he was flat up until the swing spot. Over the past months I've seen him incorporate more things that I think will get him to a moveset that fans can recognize and get behind when the time in the match is right. But I think he has a long way to go in terms of telling a story in the ring. I thought he was doing better with Big Show where he would try a bunch of crazy power moves and eventually one would fail and cost him the match. And of course his promos are boring, which is a massive roadblock to get to the top. He needs to work on that.

I was hoping to see him work up to another program with Owens, but stories came out about backstage issues. Without knowing what those were, it's hard to criticize WWE for not pushing him right now. When you are trying to manage 50 egos, and one of them gets out of hand, you have to check him to keep the rest of the boys in line.
Regardless of any of that, though, I hate the idea of someone like Cesaro not going anywhere simply because "Vince finds him boring". It's been said countless times over the years that Vince has lost touch of what people want to see, and I gotta say it's fucking right (assuming everything we read online is somewhat true).

If Vince retired tomorrow and Triple H and Steph took complete control, I bet guys like Cesaro would most certainly start to take a more prominent role in the product.

And yes, Cesaro does get good reactions in Des Moines Iowa or anywhere else. Unless we're watching completely different shows. But nobody can ever face Cena and get a better reaction than a "Lets go Cena/Cena sucks" chant.
