Recently, SK Wrestling broke an exclusive, where former WCW Champion Vince Russo revealed on-air, how RAW Underground and RETRIBUTION came to be on WWE television:

About six months ago, USA Network let it be known to WWE, they were not happy. 'We're not happy with these numbers, with what we're paying for this show, we're not happy with the creative'. They were not happy about a lot of things, okay?

So the WWE came back to USA and pitched the two big creative storylines that were going to boost the ratings and get them headed in the right direction, When I heard this at that time I laughed, like I laughed when I heard it. But this is what they sold USA on - the big two story ideas - bro, do you know what they were? RETRIBUTION and RAW Underground.

Suffice to say, in retrospect, neither idea was well-thought-out and neither will go down in the history books as memorable and unforgettable concepts from the RAW brand.

RAW Underground was canned a few weeks into its debut, but RETRIBUTION is still a part of your weekly television, where the faction meanders on, without any rhyme or reason.
