I agree and, unfortunately, I think that may very well be the direction they're going. Given the nonsense that Vince McMahon calls creative ideas on the main roster, the most insanely stupid ideas can no longer just be easily written off as having no chance of happening.
Shane has been feuding with and has defeated, in matches where he's been hilariously outclassed, two former World Champions and it doesn't look like he's going anywhere anytime soon. SummerSlam is coming up in a few months and with the whole "best in the world" thing still being shoved up our asses multiple times each week, it seems that the "best in the world" would want to truly solidify that position by becoming either WWE or Universal Champion. As much as I dislike the notion, I'd prefer Brock Lesnar to win one of the titles again rather than Vince's near 50 year old bastard man-child of a son.

In WWE right now, there are probably quite a few wrestlers who could get just about anything over if they were actually allowed to do their jobs and be professional wrestlers instead of glorified, athletic actors reading canned lines from a script they can't deviate from.
If Jericho popped up in WWE today as some young stud in his late 20s full of energy, passion, ability and buzz from work he'd done before coming to WWE, I don't think he'd be nearly as bit of a star 5 years from now. One advantage Jericho had was the fact that he worked for WWE nearly 20 years and came on board during a time when wrestlers were allowed to have some genuine creative freedom, but they were allowed to really succeed or fail on their own merit most of the time. As a result of the quality he consistently put out, Jericho became one of these locker room leaders, also an elder statesman if you will, who's years of excellence and devotion to WWE earned him the right to actually have far more creative input than modern day stars.
Not just anybody can get over, don't get me wrong on that as some wrestlers just don't have what it takes. However, I do believe most of them would have a better shot if they were allowed to try their thing organically rather than repeating memorized lines from a script they can't deviate from that was, most likely, either written or dictated to someone else by an out of step 73 year old man so set in his ways that he can't see, or at least pretends he doesn't see, his company going down the crapper.

Bad look for AEW not letting Moxley work NJPW events in the US. Seems hypocritical.
The best wrestling in the world probably doesn't feature Baron Corbin getting 3 world title matches on 3 consecutive PPVs... Just saying.
He's probably the best heel right now, so it makes sense to have him challenge the top face.
