Journalistic ethics are often put into serious question in the face of constant competition among media houses to stay relevant. The latest one to undergo the same scrutiny was the one of most renowned media giants, BBC News.

The Best in The World’s potential comeback has been the most recurring theme in the wrestling realm lately. While continuous back-and-forth information swirling all over the internet added to fans’ confusion for a while, an eminent media firm got access to record a relevant piece of update from none other than WWE’s very own Nick Aldis.

Many WWE insiders have already put their views forward regarding the topic of CM Punk’s return. Still, Aldis’s exclusive take could add more value and give fans an authentic closure to the situation. With this philosophy, BBC reported that the WWE manager noted there is still a chance for Punk’s return and it will be a good business call as he’s way ahead of most of the stars in terms of selling tickets, merchandise, moving numbers, etc.

That is until Aldis himself issued an objection. The SmackDown manager claimed that his takes did not accurately reflect reality. Moreover, he claimed that his words were edited in a way that only provided a distorted view to the readers.

The journalist later apologized.
