#3 WWE got wrong: Booking of RETRIBUTION and Ricochet on Monday Night RAW

The debut of RETRIBUTION in WWE and their unexpected invasion of RAW and SmackDown looked promising when it began. However, the way WWE has booked the faction recently has been nothing short of underwhelming.

There seems to be no continuation with the storytelling aspect as one week they teased tensions between the members of RETRIBUTION and Mustafa Ali, however, all of that was forgotten as things went back to normal the next week.

For the last few weeks, RETRIBUTION has been trying to forcefully convince former United States Champion Ricochet to join them. Last week, Ricochet lost to MACE and this week he lost to T-BAR and both of the matches were followed by him denying to join RETRIBUTION and facing a ganged-up attack from the faction.

WWE Universe has been left baffled wondering why does RETRIBUTION care so much about Ricochet joining them? Isn't their purpose to get, well, retribution from WWE for not treating them properly? With each passing week, fans are starting to lose their interest in the faction and unless they jump back in a massive way soon, the future of RETRIBUTION looks bleak.
