I don't give a fuck about Del Rio either - but I hated the decision at the moment. It is kinda crazy though to realize how many people dropped their first Mania.
WM26: Sheamus loses to HHH
WM27: Bryan gets bumped off the show, Del Rio loses to Edge, Wade Barrett after main eventing a ton of PPVs the year prior sees his team lose a 90 second tag match
WM28: Bryan loses to Sheamus instantly
WM29: Ryback loses to Henry, hell even Lesnar lost in his first Mania in nearly a decade
WM30: Wyatt loses to Cena
WM31: Sting loses to Triple H, Rusev loses to Cena, all three members of The Shield lose their first non-Shield matches (although Rollins does cash in at the end)
WM32: Styles loses to Jericho, Zack Ryder wins the IC Title in a ladder match that involves a bunch of Mania rookies
WM34: Asuka loses to Charlotte, Nakamura loses to Styles
It really
does seem to be deliberate. Feels like Fandango is the only exception.
