We noted on Monday that there are mixed feelings within WWE regarding Antonio Cesaro. Cesaro reportedly has WWE officials “on the fence” regarding his long-term value to the company. Many within the company view him as a “now or never” talent and they’re hoping he has a breakout moment soon.

In an update on this, it was announced on RAW that Santino Marella will defend the US title on the SummerSlam pre-show against Cesaro. Many people expect Santino to drop the title to Cesaro on Sunday.

As we’ve been exclusively reporting via WZROnline.com, Santino is one of the current mid-card talents who is very frustrated these days and has been openly talking about it. He’s being paid a very low percentage of his merchandise sales and isn’t being given anything extra for the money the company makes off his YouTube.com show. By putting the title on Cesaro, it basically “punishes” Santino for complaining backstage and gives WWE the opportunity to see if Cesaro is going to work out or not. Basically, they’ll give him a run with the title and see how things go.

    Again, here’s the snub by the WWE as to how little they value their wrestlers now. I am willing to bet if they left go of a number of the wrestlers now, they would pay some of the main eventers of the past and bring in the necessary money to cover expenses. As I said before WWE doesnt really care about their mid carders.

    This would open a barrel of trouble to WWE. What the hell is wrong with WWE?

    Vince has NEVER cared-wrestlers are commodoties to be traded, and a gimmick belongs to WWE so dont expect Santino to be doing the Cobra when he is working half the schedule for the same pay and a bigger merchandise percentage in TNA.

    Wow, that really sucks. WWE has treated Santino Marella as a “comedy character of a joke”, as you can say, and that the United States Championship he’s been holding hasn’t been defended lately, and WWE treats that title as a “joke” too. It also sucks that he hasn’t been payed from his merchandise sales and getting money off from his “Foreign Exchange” show he does on YouTube. Truly an ignorance there from WWE!
