5 things WWE subtly told us on RAW: Major Royal Rumble title match teased, 2 surprising names teased as Drew McIntyre's next opponent (December 21st 2020)

#2. RETRIBUTION's recruitment attempts continue on RAW

T-BAR sent out a strong message

We haven't been able to make out the head or tail of RETRIBUTION's motives on RAW. In the last few weeks, they've been busy harassing Ricochet and trying to get him to join their faction, but he has refused.

OUCH. 😬#WWERaw @TBARRetribution @KingRicochet pic.twitter.com/l66F6Rmg1f

Ricochet faced the wrath of Mace, and this week, he felt the same from T-BAR - who brutalized him on RAW. After the match, T-BAR made it very clear - he wasn't Ricochet's enemy, nor was RETRIBUTION.

He told Ricochet to join them on RAW, and that's all they've been doing. It isn't a very exciting direction, but we would be interested to see if it pays off with Ricochet actually joining the RAW faction.

It hasn't been a fun storyline on RAW, and watching RETRIBUTION fall so often hasn't done them any favors either. They seem to be done with Dana Brooke and completely focused on Ricochet, for some reason.

We expect to see the same thing play out in the next few episodes of RAW.
