my pov -
-Nemeth was likely simply not needed that night , TK pays for travel and sent him back home. Not the first time this has happened with lower tiered talent, won't be the last.
-Matt Hardy is on Dynamite and Rampage, don't see why he would be needed at Collision if they running a smaller crew
-Daniels is a weird one, since he is part of talent relations, so I don't have much of an answer there.
-Meltzer saying ''people think its punk but if i asked Tony I know he tell it wasn't'' - is pretty petty and unprofessional reporting, Dave has already picked a side and made up his mind, so grain of salt.
- no one has offered any proof that Punk asked these guys not to be on the show, it's all dirtsheet conjecture and ''connecting the dots' - remind of you something? like the Colt Cabana thing?
-Cabana is back on BTE, so that didn't seem to affect anything
- TK could also simply be asking certain ppl to stay home to avoid conflict, and not because someone directly asked him to
Unless any of this affects the on screen product, this all seems like a bunch of he said she said and dirtsheet clickbait to me.
