#5 Ali clashes with RETRIBUTION members on WWE RAW after betrayal

Mustafa Ali is no longer welcomed in RETRIBUTION

Fastlane 2021 witnessed the split of WWE RAW’s infamous stable, RETRIBUTION. It all started when Mustafa Ali resorted to attacking his group members every time they lost a match. At the pay-per-view, Riddle defeated Ali to retain his United States Championship. This led to Ali snapping once again, but the RETRIBUTION members, T-Bar and Mace, confronted their leader.

First, Reckoning and Slapjack walked away from Ali. Following that, T-Bar and Mace chokeslammed Ali inside the ring. They made their feelings pretty clear about their leader, and Ali is expected to address that on WWE RAW tonight. This could lead to a match between him and T-Bar where the winner will walk out as RETRIBUTION leader.

This was a good booking decision that will now bring much-needed attention towards RETRIBUTION. The stable was struggling on WWE RAW, and it desperately needed a new face. Someone like T-Bar deserves a shot at restoring the original idea behind the group. As for Ali, he could do better as a singles superstar or even look for an ally to compete in the tag team division.
