3 sources including the one that tried to be cute and instigate there was a hold up over that have now denied that was the case
2 things that can be true
1) Punk reacts to slights in the worse way possible
2) There is absolutley some sort of odd axe to grind with him from a source within
Its probably why Dave is uneasy about reporting the stuff and hes coy and says "Some stuff Ive heard is true, but Ive been told by others its not" (His literal exact words on the Punk situation 3 days ago) Alvarez is different but thats always been the case with them two.
Again I still maintain Tony should force the Elite and Punk to meet to clear the air and settle this. Not even about a programme or working together but this stuff will continue to happen even if they are on seperate crews. There's a culture of too many voices airing out personal greivances. You see it with the women too

I am hearing Punk is still scheduled for Collision, and the plan all along was to not acknowledge him until his return at Double or Nothing.

TK is gonna have no choice but to give into whatever punk wants. Punk is in the position of power. If he wants Ace Steel there, he will be there. That collision show is DOA without Punk. Rampage 2.0
first main event will be CM Punk vs Samoa Joe. Joe gonna separate his shoulder and tear his labrum, Punk is gonna rip his triceps... Both will be on the shelf for a year, and Collision will be DOA week 2

Theres FAR more room for their stars to wrestle more, Moxley is really the only top star to wrestle every week. If they cancelled the split, theyd be fine without him

I think the thing is both WBD and Tony either have information we don't or they simply overrate Punk's influence in TV ratings. They basically believe having Punk on Saturday will help boost that timeslot for the network in a way no one else can. So this whole thing hinges on that fact because it gives Phil all the leverage.
From what we as fans know, there's not enough evidence that Punk can help in a sustained manner. Sure, his return should drop a very good number, and they can probably ride that first week for the his first angle/feud (and hopefully keep momentum till All In and All Out), but spending so much energy on someone that can 1.- get injured at any moment at his point of his career and 2.- will have a hard time maintaining the audience unless he's involved in an angle that's a huge hit , seems like a lot of wishful thinking in WBD and AEW's part.
At the same time, maybe the do have important info we have no clue about. I mean, two weeks ago they sold 60k+ tickets in three days for a show most of us thought the best case scenario was 40k after 3 months. Tony knew something we didn't

1. Starts by saying the sheets have no real sources.......then claims the observer have ppl in the Elite camp. Which is it?
2. Punk was leaking stuff to Dave as well.
3. Stop trying to make it seem like only one side, company, or wrestler is using dirt sheets. They all do.

Who is forcing Alvarez to talk about it? It's not a requirement that he covers all the backstage intrigue. But it's probably likely it's the only thing that consistently doesn numbers for him. So he should stop pretending, shut the fukk up, and thank God Cm punk is an a$$hole.
