#4: RETRIBUTION attacked Big E and John Morrison to kick-off SmackDown

RETRIBUTION has arrived and WWE fans haven't been completely positive about this concept. However, this week's WWE SmackDown saw RETRIBUTION making their biggest impact, to date.

This time, they crossed the boundaries by attacking two high-profile WWE names, Big E and John Morrison, as both were set to wrestle each other at the beginning of the show.

Michael Cole and Corey Graves assured that security had been posted at every nook and corner of the Performance Center, but none of that made any difference at the end of the night.

As the SmackDown locker room rallied to stand against RETRIBUTION, the miscreants created a misdirection later in the night, when Big E and Morrison wrestled again. With the help of some flickering lights, SmackDown Superstars thought that RETRIBUTION was going to enter the ring again, so all of them came out and surrounded the ring.

Instead, RETRIBUTION trashed the backstage area during the match, and by the time everyone assembled, it was too late.

Although Big E defeated Morrison eventually, the background noise and continuity overshadowed in-ring action on this week's WWE SmackDown. However, I will say that the writers wrote a good arc for RETRIBUTION last night.
