Seems like SRS and Meltzer are getting completely different information. Hard to tell what's true and what isn't...

@TellumSiege I will remind us that no one suspected the Netflix deal. I think WWE is choosing what they tell us right now.

Also the way I square the conflicting reports is that Meltzer reflects the plans among TKO leadership and SRS reflects reports from WWE creative down. Different parties knew different things.

It seems like HHH has been working the dirt sheets for some time now, so I really have no reason to believe a word that either of these dude’s write. I genuinely can’t believe people pay these guys for their “scoops.”

One thing's for sure, Meltzer didn't even check his sources before he ran with the story, he never does.

I mean, both could be true. SRS is reporting on what Cody was told here, not necessarily what the higher ups knew.

It's possible that they lied through their teeth to him.

Neither story makes TKO look good..
