To be fair, hasn’t Ringside News been pretty iffy with their rumors and reports?^ This all day long. MNF did more to bring down Raw's key 18-49 demographic rating in one night than AEW did with their string of recent signings - Punk, Cole, & Danielson.
Stop taking everything Meltzer says as gospel. He is close friends with Tony Khan (as well as with the Young Bucks) and so he is going to have a bias toward propping AEW up like he is here. Ringside News has reported with a source from the WWE creative team that AEW didn't factor into the WWE's decision to move up the title match and have Big E successfully cash in, and other sites have credited the opposition of MNF for the move.
While I think Meltzer’s bias sometimes gets overblown, he certainly does have relationships with some AEW folks (like you said), so it’s a good idea to use a grain of salt and all that.
I’m just saying that Ringside News doesn’t seem super reliable either. I’m happy to be corrected on that though (possible I’m thinking of a different site).
