5 ways WWE can salvage RETRIBUTION

#3. Get CM Punk to be the "Higher Power" of RETRIBUTION

"Hey, Punk, come back to WWE?" "Let me sleep on it."

There are a million reasons why this would never happen. But, as the headline is "five ways WWE can salvage RETRIBUTION" and, you've gotta admit, this would be a pretty damn good way to do that, let's just go with it.

So, whatever the reasons might be, let's just say that Phillip Brooks decides that "sure, I'll come back on a part-time basis and act as leader of these dorks in Halloween masks." What does this do for the group and the angle in general?

Well, for starters, it's CM friggin' Punk. Just him making an appearance on WWE TV proper in general is a big deal. He could run into the ring, wave, shout "hi everybody!" and leave, and every site like ours would be writing stories about it for weeks. So attaching that to a group like RETRIBUTION is automatically going to get interest back into them.

It makes sense too, in a way. At its core, it seems the whole motivation of RETRIBUTION is that they feel betrayed by WWE, and who else in the wrestling world would feel more betrayed by them than CM Punk?

Punk has shown on more than one occasion that he can successfully play the role of RETRIBUTION's twisted faction leader. While he seems way more chill these days, in regards to what happened between him and the company, letting him toss some Pipe Bombs at the fourth wall could be a ratings boost.

And he doesn't even have to wrestle. Although, that would be awesome. Where does that leave Ali, though?
