Even if he's a transitional champion who gives a fuck. Mick Foley was a transitional champion. So was Bret at first. Edge started out as one too.
Once you've won the title the first time management is much more likely to put it back on you at some point when a change is needed rather than risk someone new.
Even if he exists as a transitional champion, or takes a while to break out of that role, he's still a made man and in the main event for the forseeable future.
