Maybe they just don't have faith in his ability to go out an put on an interesting 20 minute main event every PPV. I mean, even his matches with Cena and Taker were boring as fuck IMO. They clearly trust him to deliver the goods on the mic but the end result ends up just falling flat.

He should have beaten Cena at Mania since it would have established him as the top bad guy (at least to the kids) and give Cena's character a fresh boost in a new direction.

Going into that match, the whole emphasis was on Cena's legacy and him not wanting to turn to the darkside in order to beat Bray. Could have redone the redemption angle he had with Rock except this time not be half-assed at the last moment.

Cena could lose casting doubt on how strong his legacy is after all or lose and also "turn" that causes his character to become corrupted a bit. Him beating Rusev a year later for the US belt would have been huge in terms of redemption.
