5 knee-jerk decisions WWE made in 2021 – Big mistake on WWE RAW, top superstars’ controversial releases

#5 The entire booking of RETRIBUTION on WWE RAW

T-Bar deserves better on WWE RAW

The RETRIBUTION had a good start to their run on WWE RAW. They were built as an anti-WWE stable, and they helped the creative team in dropping storylines without explanation. Remember the first few weeks when everyone had high hopes for this group? Back then, T-Bar was handling RETRIBUTION's social media accounts, and he was brilliant at trolling fans and competitors alike.

Soon, the magic began to fade when RETRIBUTION took repetitive losses against The Hurt Business. Even witty tweets couldn’t help save the group that was continuously subjected to weak bookings. Later, Mustafa Ali was revealed as their leader, and that didn’t work out well either. It led to an inevitable fight for the leadership of the group, and the whole angle was conveniently swept under the rug by WWE RAW.

This group could have done a lot more on the Red brand. An intense feud between Ali and T-Bar over the leadership of RETRIBUTION could have worked wonders for both their careers. Looking at the positives, T-Bar and others now have the option to start again on WWE RAW.

For those who don’t know, T-Bar (fka Dominik Dijakovic on NXT) played a crucial role in Keith Lee’s rise to the top over the last couple of years. He deserves a lot more attention on WWE RAW, and hopefully, the creative team will have better things in store for the promising superstar.
