Yep, I think people are being quite naive if they think this is made up. It’s very specific and will likely have been instructed by Kane to his brother to leak it to start preparing fans for his potential desire to move. Or it’s a negotiating tactic with Levy, whether to get an even bigger deal - not really his style or motivation - or to get rid of Mou. Who knows?
But as I say, as someone who’s worked extensively in PR and with the media, this stinks of an off the record leak. To me, at least.
That’s not to say he definitely goes. That’s a separate conversation entirely. But do we really want the camp to become even more toxic than it already is? If he is set on leaving, it could be more damaging to keep him.
