WWE has introduced the main 3 male members of the RETRIBUTION faction on this week’s Raw. Their name was revealed to be Mace, T-Bar, and Slapjack.
Last night’s opening RAW segment witnessed RETRIBUTION coming out to the show revealing that the five members of them have already received WWE contracts and now be simply known as WWE Superstars. They then had a confrontation with The Hurt Business that ended in a brawl.
RETRIBUTION: WWE Faction Reveals Their Identities On WWE Raw
More members of the group soon surrounded the ring to dismantle Bobby Lashley, MVP, and Shelton Benjamin. It was announced that the main 5 male and female members of RETRIBUTION are Dominik Dijakovic, Dio Maddin, Mia Yim, Mercedes Martinez, and Shane Thorne. These are supposed to be the core members of the group while they will still be using several unidentified masked members as we saw in the various segments on last night’s show.
RETRIBUTION also competed in a six-man main event match which saw Maddin using the name Mace, while Dijakovic went by T-Bar and other men, supposedly Thorne went by Slapjack. But there’s confusion over whether or not this was actually Thorne. It was recently reported that Thorne was being used as one of the core members on TV, but there was some confusion on if this was really Thorne on RAW or not as the mask he wore didn’t expose the identity, fully.
The three male RETRIBUTION members competed against United States Champion Bobby Lashley, MVP, and Shelton Benjamin in the main event match. The Hurt Business defeated Mace, T-Bar, and Slapjack by disqualification due to a cheap shot by T-Bar. Then the unidentified RETRIBUTION members hit the ring for a beatdown until WWE Champion Drew McIntyre showed up and rushed to the ring to make the save.
He brought along several RAW Superstars, including the likes of RAW Tag Team Champions The Street Profits, Humberto Carrillo, Titus O’Neil, and many more. While Drew and the RAW roster were busy making the save from RETRIBUTION, the final RAW before Clash of Champions went off the air on a slightly different note.
RETRIBUTION retreated after the roster counter-attacked them but the show ended with McIntyre lying down on the mat as a result of a sneak attack by the Number-one Contender Randy Orton. He came out and dropped McIntyre with an RKO outta nowhere.
Earlier the night, Orton also hit some chair shots on the WWE Champion before cutting a promo on how he’s going to win the fourteenth world title of his career at Clash of Champions 2020.
