UPDATE: According to sources, there isn’t believed to be anything to the rumor that AMC has had talks about buying WWE. As previously reported, CFO George Barrios mentioned just last week that they weren’t in talks about any sort of merger and no one within the company is giving the rumor any credence. At least two sources claimed the report was “bullshit.”
ORIGINAL: WWE’s Stock saw a spike in trading in the middle of the day after a rumor hit of the AMC Network expressing interest in buying the company.
