Mustafa Ali was involved in the biggest plot development of his WWE career on last night's RAW.

Ali was booked as an ally to Apollo Crews and Ricochet throughout the night until a singles match between Ali and MVP occurred later in the episode.

RETRIBUTION interrupted this match, and Ali initially accepted MVP's offer to join The Hurt Business, only to stand by Mace and T-Bar's side to reveal his true colours.

Nobody saw this plot twist coming. Thankfully, most fans remained positive on social media when Ali's heel turn took place. This is a complete gamechanger for the RETRIBUTION angle, which was unanimously viewed as a failure until last night's WWE RAW.

Mustafa Ali could be a great mouthpiece for this faction. Interestingly, WWE alluded to Mustafa Ali being the hacker, as mentioned in the above tweet. The SmackDown hacker angle and RETRIBUTION's storyline are probably related in WWE. Most fans thought Ali would be revealed as the hacker, but with some new context, it makes sense how the SmackDown hacker storyline was a precursor to the formation of RETRIBUTION.
