Respectfully disagree. KO is a heel. Disrespecting AJ's belt and saying he is the real champion is perfectly in line with his character. AJ firing back that KO's belt is a paper championship was perfect. AJ is also a heel, so having him suck ass of former champions, especially since the last champion and the guy who brought the real title to SD was standing next to him and one of his rivals, would have been out of character. If Cena was the champ it would have made sense, but not AJ. If Dean was still champ it would have made sense for him to point out that KO's belt was only created because he beat both Roman and Seth at the same time. But for AJ, just calling the Universal title a paper championship was perfect, imo.
I understand what your point is but IMO KO may be a heel but you have to have respect for the lineal belt. It's not a prop. AJ also shouldn't have shitted on KOs belt if you want to build it up. Even heels should have respect for the belt. (gif of Hogan spraying NWO on the belt - stupidity the same as beating Flair in the Carolinas). Long term you don't shit where you eat. Messing with a belt is cheap shortsighted pop and an example of writers who have no knowledge of the business working in the business.
I'm sure KO wasn't happy shitting on the lineal belt. It would have been better for him to take it and put it on himself like Conor with two belts and say, "Take it back on Sunday." Then have Ellsworth sneaky steal it from the RAW dressing room during the match.
Instant fucking legend moment.
