I can understand why AEW would be in denial about the deal being pulled, even if temporarily. They really don't want to appear like they are stumbling, even if negotiations are going to see networks trying to strong-arm a bit.

Based on everything I've read soo far, seems to be the case of him mixing speculation with what he heard from sources but had it all taken as facts or out of context by other places. This happens a ton with Meltzer and his radio shows.
411Mania might be the cause for the confusion since they were one of the first sites to run the story and Maglio seems to also work there. Its why he was pissed when Meltzer started to deny stuff he said since Meltzer was mostly responding to 411Mania's report.
Also seems Talking Sheet's Les More is right about this whole mess being just another part of the Meltzer vs. Anti-Meltzer & Anti-AEW feud that's been brewing online ever since the rumors of AEW existing were true.
