quoting muffin and going "this is why the title doesn't matter anymore!" isn't exactly helpful to your cause either!
again, it's one thing to dislike the angle. that's fine to do, you disagree with the idea of the main belt being about more than the belt is your problem there, which is a fair viewpoint to have.
but here, the main belt IS the centerpiece of the angle. without it, the AJ bits can't work. like, basic rundown:
- Dragon lost the belt due to AJ. if it was "Dragon lost a match due to her" it wouldn't be a big deal. instead, he lost it in a big way and dumped her in the process - because he lost the belt. explicitly so for that reason. in the main match to settle it between those two men, she was not involved. it was straight, clean, and got both men over well. good result and good use of AJ as a result, she was used to stretch the story and protect both wrestlers.
- when Dragon goes to Raw she magically joins Raw too. yet when Dragon went to Raw he immediately went for the belt. AJ's involvements happen when? ...in establishing a relationship with Punk, her fallout with Dragon, and some character development for herself. at this point it seems to be about her but she's not involved... yet. Dragon/Punk went by pretty cleanly but had a murky finish to play with.
- then they add Kane in, increase the amount that AJ counts for all 3 men, and now she starts getting involved in things regarding the belt. Kane can't deal with her emotionally and gets distracted causing him to lose - twice! - before he bails. he bails on her and in the process, also leaves the title scene. you have more development by not just her but also the individuals in the process, Kane isn't all about hate and seems to basically get ribbed on with his female storylines, dragon seems to be pulling a Jericho-esqued "I was right!" theme for himself, punk just... well, is punk. which is a hell of a lot more than what we had before. it allows all 3 men involved with the belt show off some of their personality and traits in a way that they can't do with each other. it also allows for her character to continue to develop. as for her direct involvement with the actual title? uh, a really nasty bump -> distraction on the guy who's clearly filler (and was great at it) -> GTS. protects everyone but still feels 'clean.'
and then we get to now. she's directly in charge and seems to be playing both. neither actually cares for her more than the belt, unlike Kane did, and have no objections with being open about it (well, had before special guest ref'd). their focus: title. hers: herself. and she's trying to force herself over it, yet neither actually wants to.
which is, again, progress. story advances. characters advance. but the belt is the middle of everything she's done. she's effectively been a fantastic tool to protect the wrestlers and keep things going. and Miss Elizabeth's been brought up before when it comes to her because rarely, rarely do we have a female that actually intrigues such a vast amount of people like what they got going. that's a good thing, it keeps people talking and watching.
now, you dislike the belt isn't solely the angle. again, fine.
but the belt is the main angle. she's riding its coattails, both in a booking sense and in kayfabe right now.
