then you, again, go put Sandow with the US title. have him feud with a guy more appropiate to his level in the booking to try to make that belt not suck.
and yes, it could easily be a blood feud between Punk and Dragon and play out almost the same. in fact, that was the point shown on Raw, where AJ tried to make herself the centerpiece and failed MISERABLY at it until she went all suicidal on it. she wants to be in the middle, she wants the attention, but neither of those men are willing to give it to her for her irregular antics because
AJ needs the title for her angle to work.
the angle does not need AJ to work.
so complaining about AJ being in the title scene there doesn't make much sense as she's done very little to affect it thus far but has worked to make it more personal between the competitors. though she's the clear personal focus, the title is the clear story focus because nothing she's doing would work without it. that's a good thing - she's effectively a catalyst of storytelling. we don't know where this story is going because it's July. they've done a fantastic job building up the relationship issue, her mental breakdown, and seem to be building it to a heel turn where she wants to continue to be in the middle of it all. now she'll get directly involved in the title and we don't know how, or in what way, it'll play out.
effectively, they made a diva actually relevant and matter for wrestling at the same time as advancing a story involving the main belt. that's a good thing.
