As far as Santino Marella goes, we can exclusively report that there is backstage heat on him for openly speaking out about his current frustrations with the company. We broke last week here on the site that there were plans for Santino to drop the title at SummerSlam. This also goes with what we’ve been reporting – mid-card talents are afraid to speak out for fear of losing their jobs or being “jobbed out” by the company. As was the case with JTG on RAW last week, this is another example of a talent speaking up and being “punished” as a result. While WWE encourages their talents to speak up and address their frustrations, they know exactly what happens when they do. It’s basically a no-win situation for them. This is also why nobody who was frustrated (there are a ton) spoke up during last week’s RAW meeting.

That would make it about 4 people who've been punished so far for speaking out assuming Ryder's squash was as a punishment. Cesario's title reign is more of the WWE considering it as a "do or die" moment than actually as a reward or push.
Also looks like the lockeroom doesn't trust management if a supposed "no repercussion" meeting ended up with nobody speaking out.
