He reduced his punishment to a fine, and his main problem wasn't necessarily that they they were a face and heel hanging out together, but rather a face and heel who are currently in a program together hanging out.
Even then, his main issue wasn't that they were doing it, but rather it was found out that they were doing it. I don't think he even blamed Sonya and Mandy for it, as it was mentioned The Sheik used to hang out with faces occasionally. But no matter the circumstances, if a face was caught fraternizing with a heel in the old days, they were fined or fired.
It's an old school mentality that isn't relevant today. I agree with cornette on how the actual wrestling programming should be done to make the viewer forget that it's scripted and lose themselves in the story, but wrestlers adhering to kayfabe outside the ring isn't going to bring any of the "magic" wrestling had, back. That toothpaste is never going back in the bottle no matter what you do, so I don't expect wrestlers to live their lives by those old standards.
Within reason of course. I don't care about faces and heels hanging out or doing podcasts, but stuff like Jericho and Omega doing a podcast about their match literally the day afterwards is a bit much.
