I'd blame the issue with Mania's card and build this year due to WWE having 2 PPVs in between the Rumble and Mania. That led to the Road to Mania being more watered down and/or rushed than usual.
Add in WWE also being preoccupied with the switch from the WWE Network to NBC's Peacock and that just compounded the problems for Mania's build this year.
