If he showed the belt, held it over his head or anything like that, it could confuse the new members of the audience, if any, as to who the official champion was. This way, everyone knows what was in the bag, everyone knows what the situation is and there is also no confusion. Especially when we all know that someone on KZbin or elsewhere would take a screen shot of him holding the belt an use it for a click bait thumbnail.

I'm guessing it's a new belt since it's too soon to take the AEW WHC off MJF and since CM punk never lost it he will be given a new belt.
