Not all of the MK characters in the new timeline were downgraded. In fact, for some, it's actually been the complete opposite.

For instance, Johnny Cage's appearance in later games had him die to a horde of Tarkatans, and Sonya actually never defeated Kano 1-on-1 in the old timeline. Meanwhile, Johnny's skill and strength allowed him a win against Shinnok while Liu Kang was out of the picture, and Sonya had a ton of victories, especially against Kano.
