So, it’s no surprise that everyone’s least-favorite band of hapless anarchists, The Group Known As Retribution, has been a failure from the start. That being said, this is a thread of what WWE can do to salvage Retribution (so no “end the faction right now” suggestions). I just thought it’d be fun to see what we could come up with.

Just give them a purpose and an end game.
Either have them storm the ring, one of them grab a mic and say why they're doing what they're doing and what they want.
Or, get them to 'hack' into the live broadcast and show their own promo video (like the ones Anonymous used to do) giving a mission statement and their goal.
They need a focus other than just mildly inconveniencing everyone, and then you can book their actions in a way that furthers that focus.

Debut some guys from NXT with a promo where they pull off their black hoodies/masks and gloat about how they were showing off that no one on the roster is safe from them. Then have them compete on the main shows in normal matches and go for some of the titles. Never mention Retribution again. The end.

Unmask them and give them any reason at all for existing. Them all being collectively mad because their leader stubbed his toe three weeks ago is better than whatever the hell theyre doing now.

A charismatic leader usually helps a stable.
Aw, crumbs. Heyman and Roman are the masterminds behind this, aren't they?

They take off their masks and it's the original Nexus. All of them. Wade, Bryan, Heath, Ryback, Michael Tarver if he still exists...

Make Michael Cole their leader or, rather, their Cole Model.

They form a human Megazord and beat up all the other wrestlers.

They need a credible leader. Some one who is respected by the fans and peers alike.
Have them take out a BIG star. This shit with the midcarders does not strike fear in me. Take out Roman. Take out AJ Styles. Take out Drew. Take out Randy. I was more impressed with Zelina this week then all of their members combined.
State what they are doing there. At the moment it looks like a frat party on the loose.
Or let Adam Rose come back and they take their hoods off and they’re Rosebuds.
Either or is fine.

Have a logical conclusion.
Dominik Dijakovic, Mia Yim and Dio Madden being in the group makes absolutely no sense for them to want "Retribution"
If it's a bunch of released guys like Lio Rush, Rusev, even some guys who were released in the past like Darren Young, DH Smith, Adam Rose etc? Yeah I could buy that.

Yeah, and the fact that he was replaced on commentary. I suppose that makes sense. But unfortunately WWE don't do storylines like that. They would never call back to Brock kicking his ass in a throwaway segment about 2 years ago. |

Lesnar leads it.
He's pissed because Heyman didn't support him after Mania, moreso now because he has a shiny new toy in Reigns.
Granted this doesn't make it better as it just returns us back to Roman v Brock

But that makes no sense from a kayfabe aspect because in kayfabe, Dijak choked in every opportunity. Unless they want to go full WCW 2000 and have him work shoot on how they booked him to lose brother! |
