Ever since Vince McMahon went on a special WWE Network edition of "Stone Cold" Steve Austin's podcast, there have been some negative vibes surrounding his "brass ring" comments and it now appears as though morale has reached a low backstage.

According to Wrestlingheadlines.com, it's said that even though morale wasn't good as it is, there is a noticeable difference following McMahon's appearance on the podcast, where he basically buried the locker room and said no one has reached up to grab the "brass ring."

There is a feeling that McMahon "crapped on" everyone in the locker room and only put over Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose and Bray Wyatt. The feeling following the interview is that McMahon views the four of them as the only current roster members that can become top stars in the company.

It is believed that Reigns will begin his push to the top of the roster at the Royal Rumble while Rollins has solidified himself as the No. 1 heel since the fall of The Shield and Wyatt and Ambrose are currently feuding.

Per the report, Triple H actually ended up giving a speech to the roster after the morale reached a low-point. The speech reportedly didn't' go very well as it was meant as a way of providing damage control to the situation, but backfired and made things worse.

While "The Game" is loved by the NXT roster, it is said that he lost a lot of credibility with main roster Superstars due to his speech and especially with talent that has been on the roster for multiple years.

McMahon's appearance with Austin was supposed to provide a boost to the WWE Network, but it ended up alienating members of the roster and making them angry.
