#3. To get Daniel Bryan more heat

There are a few things that WWE loves more than getting heat on their heels. Heat is important in more ways than one. Daniel Bryan himself has done a great job himself of getting heat, which is incredible considering that he was, at one point, the biggest babyface of this era.
But that just tells you just how high of a level Bryan truly is on. If he managed to turn from the biggest babyface to the biggest heel, then that's the true mark of a great performer. But you didn't need a reminder for that.

Daniel Bryan beating Kofi Kingston will undoubtedly frustrate fans and get them to boo him more. WWE will definitely hope for this to happen so that the babyface who does challenge Bryan at WrestleMania gets cheered even more. It's a very basic formula, but in such cases, it will probably work.
