5 ways WWE can salvage RETRIBUTION

#4 Do RETRIBUTION serve a higher power?

This reveal was universally beloved and nobody complained about it.

For those unfamiliar with WWE in the late 1990s (aka the Attitude Era) and are wondering how this could fit in with RETRIBUTION, hear us out. The Undertaker formed a faction of scary dude wrestlers (and also Mideon) in order to take control of the company from Vince McMahon.

It eventually got complicated - it's wrestling, after all. However, one of the major plot threads was that Undertaker and his Ministry of Darkness were following the orders of some unseen leader... a "Higher Power."

Of course, that "Higher Power" turned out to be McMahon himself, but that's not really the point here.

As mentioned in the previous entry, in order to recover, RETRIBUTION needs to have a more specifically-defined motivation. While Mustafa Ali is doing the best promo work of his career during this angle, his motivation of "destroying WWE because they're greedy and bad" has already been established.

It's getting to be about high time WWE introduces someone behind the group. Someone who is the "Higher Power/Mr. McMahon" to RETRIBUTION's Undertaker.

We can't decide who that person should be (although there is a suggestion coming up... and it's a stupid one) or what that motivation should be (other than having it be specific). However, giving RETRIBUTION a shadowy figure manipulating things in the background can give this whole story a shot of intrigue enough to get it back on track.
