This week’s episode of Monday Night RAW featured the Retribution faction revealing they ”signed” with WWE and five members made their way to the ring with three of them being named. According to various reports, their reveal was met with laughter backstage in WWE.
According to the Superstars who spoke to Fightful, they “echoed the critical and immediate sentiments that were uncorked on the group and more specifically, WWE’s creative process.”
One Superstar apparently ”felt bad” for Mia Yim and Mercedes Martinez as “they’ve worked so long and are facing a battle to not make this look as dumb as it is.”
A Smackdown Superstar talked about RAW’s extra content where they said: “I think they load up Raw with that stuff because it’s a longer show, but we weren’t told why Retribution was off Smackdown.”
It was to be noted that “absolutely everyone” found the new names for the stable “ridiculous.” Another Superstar shared his view on the names, stating: “It sounds like something out of a bad movie or game, but I’m not sure Vince plays games or watches movies anymore.”
