One term that always pops up in newz is word of "backstage heat". There are a lot of different things that can cause this, so I wanted to try and clarify the backstage heat I've heard of, from most nuclear to least.
Daniel Bryan level. This means you made HHH and Stephanie's children cry, and you're blacklisted from the WWE forever. Alternately, you are 100% responsible for a less than stellar buy rate and will be demoted to Superstars duty for life.
CM Punk level. You either didn't wear a suit to a press conference, or you walked around backstage with a fur coat and gold chains. Prepare to lose your title to the Undertaker and be relegated to the midard doghouse. And we mean forever, we can hold a grudge.
Ryback level. You're on your last chance here, if you don't get this bully gimmick over/draw a good buyrate vs Punk/ get over as a Heyman guy/ have a decent tag team with Axel you'll be on your way back to NXT.
Drew McIntyre level. Your girlfriend went insane and beat you up. We're either mad at you for that, or for hanging out with Chavo maybe. Despite the fact that you've gotten no reaction for months, we're going to relegate you to jobber status starting right...... now.
The SHIELD level You didn't shake somebody's hand so you're gonna lose a PPV match or two but remain a focus of both shows and be on every PPV. HOPE THIS TEACHES YOU AN IMPORTANT LESSON.
Sin Cara level Who the hell knows what you did now, we like your gimmick though. Just please don't tweet from Mexico during Raw, okay?
Mark Henry level Don't make us re-hire Tony Atlas to drive you around and watch what you eat. Cause we'll do it.
