Over the past several weeks, The O.C. has been dealing with the “Rhea Problem” on WWE Raw and now they’ve found a solution in the form of Mia Yim.
The former RETRIBUTION member made a surprise return to WWE Raw during the November 7 episode that took place in Wilkes-Barre. Yim aligned herself with the stable of AJ Styles, Karl Anderson, and Luke Gallows and made her intention clear of taking out Rhea Ripley and the rest of The Judgment Day.
Originally, Seth Rollins came out for his United States Championship Open Challenge and it was answered by The Judgment Day, Finn Balor to be specific. Balor said that Seth cost him gold in the past and that he was looking forward to returning the favor.

The O.C. then came out. AJ Styles said that someone will be joining them to face Judgment Day and be the neutralizer for Rhea Ripley. It appeared to be the returning Mia Yim (fka Reckoning of the RETRIBUTION stable).
As a brawl broke out in the ring on WWE Raw, Yim grabbed a kendo stick and beat the hell out of Ripley on the outside. She also sent The Nightmare crashing into the timekeeper’s area. In the end, The O.C. and Yim stood tall in the ring.
With that, Mia had returned to WWE competition after a gap of almost two years with her last bout taking place against Nikki Cross on the December 28, 2020, episode of WWE Raw. She was under contract with the company afterward before getting released in November 2021. In early 2020, Mia was called up to the main roster as a member of the RETRIBUTION group, going by the name RECKONING. After her WWE release, she took a five-month hiatus from wrestling before joining Impact Wrestling.

Shelton Benjamin also returned to action on WWE Raw
In more news from WWE Raw, Veteran WWE Superstar Shelton Benjamin returned to TV for his first singles match in almost nine months. Benjamin confronted Austin Theory in a backstage segment, reminding the 2022 Mr. Money in the Bank that he will never be on the level of top WWE Superstars such as Seth Rollins, Brock Lesnar, and Bobby Lashley.
Moving on, Theory competed in a match with Benjamin with her A-Town Down finisher. However, in the main event segment, he ended up losing his MITB match contract after getting pinned by Seth Rollins for the United States Title.
