#1 Bryan is in a new Creative direction
As said before, having Daniel Bryan lose the WWE Championship this early into his new Creative direction would be a shame and a huge injustice to The "New" Daniel Bryan. Bryan was slowly turning stale, and thus decided to switch dynamics and turn heel. This turn sparked a new direction for Daniel Bryan. The biggest problem associated with changing from such a huge babyface to a heel and not rewarding him accordingly is that he would fade to irrelevancy.
Just take the example of Shinsuke Nakamura. The King of Strong Style turned heel at WrestleMania 34 after his WWE Championship match against AJ Styles. However, since Nakamura never got rewarded for his turn, he became irrelevant, and is now not even a regular on PPVs. At the moment, Nakamura is in the undercards, allying with Rusev. We cannot allow the same to happen to Daniel Bryan.
What makes Sting special? His first AEW opponent opens up RIGHT HERE.
