#2. AEW lets Danielson stay a heel while keeping Moxley an anti-hero

AEW turned Bryan Danielson heel late last year, but there's some evidence that the change was meant for Jon Moxley.

The company put together a World Title Eliminator Tournament to determine the next challenger for the title heading into Full Gear. It seemed that Jon Moxley and Bryan Danielson were set to face off in the finals.

But due to Moxley's leave of absence, Miro took his place, acting as the heel going into the finals, with Danielson still a babyface. Danielson began showing villainous traits as soon as he won the tournament.

With the way the storyline is progressing, it seems as though this role was supposed to be for Moxley.

With Moxley's return, he should be kept as an anti-hero as the crowd is firmly behind him. Danielson has embraced his evil persona completely and seems to be enjoying himself.

Bryan Danielson vs. Jon Moxley is an absolute marquee match.

With the company's next pay-per-view Revolution only six weeks away, this should be a headlining bout for the event. There will be more than enough time to build the story and establish the reason for the feud.

These are two of the biggest stars in the promotion and deserve a pay-per-view stage to fully showcase their talents.

As long as Tony Khan lets them tell the story they want, it should make for a highly compelling and entertaining rivalry.
