John Cena would be in the Randy Orton role. Where would that leave Orton?

If he'd stayed? People would have gotten tired of him and he'd have lost his luster.
The reason he was so popular to begin with was because he was being booked as an unstoppable monster. Heyman being his manager at the time was gold, obviously, but even without Heyman, Brock was dominant. So, that basically leaves two paths...
1.) Brock continues destroying everyone, since they've spent two years building up this guy as a monster that cannot be stopped. So, he HAS to win all the time. Thus, fans would get tired of seeing that week in and week out, IMO.
OR
2.) They have him start losing more frequently, until his mystique is totally dropped and he becomes just another guy on the card, in spite of his obvious talent. He'd be trading wins with whoever he was in the program with, and fans would get bored of THAT because they would remember him as this dominant ass-kicker. Think like Vader in 1998 - everyone KNEW he was a monster and couldn't be matched, power-wise...but by then, no one cared about him because he'd been booked as a guy who was seen as a shell of a once-great wrestler who just takes up a spot on the mid-card.
Either way, fans wouldn't want it. I think Brock leaving was excellent for his appeal. Especially since he came back, he'd basically been a guy who left on his own terms while he was on top, so he could easily fall back into the killer-monster type and not miss a beat. Leading into today, how he's an absolute spectacle who shows up once in a while. You wouldn't have the same appeal for him if he were on Raw every week in different programs with different people, because he's a special attraction more than a WWE roster talent.

We would have our equivalent pf Rock/Austin with Cena/Lesnar.
Plain and simple.
