There’s zero way there was no leak. In the span of a couple weeks there was at least 3-4 big anti-Punk stories. One of which being Punk threatened to walk out.
So either that was leaked with everything else, or the dirts decided to just make shit up and that makes them awful.
And even if there is speculation that Punk got Colt fired, you don’t print that in your article unless you got at least one person from AEW to “confirm” that for you. That’s at least how journalists used to do it. SRS was saying yesterday he had news he was waiting for confirmation.
