I mean, what was the point of giving all three the same bounty, when we know Luffy is a league above the other two?
Now we have Law, who shares the same bounty with Luffy, facing off against an opponent that Luffy is going to fight.
Ironically enough, Kid already fought against the Red Haired Pirates once, and prior to Wano was setting up an alliance to attack Shanks again.
So we have Law, who is currently fighting Blackbeard, and Kid who already plans on going after Shanks. Both share the same bounty as Luffy, and both going against Luffy's future opponents. (Kid's not set in stone, but plans on it)
It'll be the significance of separating the Gold Medalist, from the Silver Medalists.
Not to mention, Blackbeard and Shanks don't really have the combat hype. We know they are powerful because they are Yonko's, but the cap on that is yet to be known. So having both of them crush two characters worth 3 billion berries is a good indicator of where there stand on an individual power level spectrum.
Plus it silences anyone who thought that either of them would have stood a chance against Big Mom in a 1 v 1.
