WWE RAW: 5 Interesting directions for RETRIBUTION on the show – Epic revenge story, inevitable betrayal, and more 

#2 Book Kofi Kingston and Mustafa Ali in a heated feud on WWE RAW

Mustafa Ali can use Xavier Woods to make things personal with Kofi Kingston

A while ago, Mustafa Ali brought up his history with Kofi Kingston on WWE RAW. It was Ali’s injury that granted a last-minute appearance for Kofi Kingston in the Elimination Chamber match in 2019 and laid the ground for KofiMania. Ali blamed The New Day member for stealing his spot and expressed his eagerness to settle their dispute on the Red brand.

Though the creative hasn't paid much attention to this storyline, the feud between Ali and Kingston has a promising history attached to it. WWE RAW can turn it into a full-blown rivalry riddled with revenge. Their storyline will also allow room for Xavier Woods and other RETRIBUTION members to make their presence known.

Moreover, Ali's good feud will help establish him as a big threat in the locker room. He leads a faction, but he doesn't look convincing enough. He barely makes his way past one of his rivals on WWE RAW. In that context, a good feud against Kingston could be instrumental in pushing Ali into the upper mid-card scene on WWE RAW while simultaneously adding more arrogance to his gimmick. This could even sow the seeds of a potential betrayal amidst the group.
