10 Mistakes WWE Has Already Made With RETRIBUTION
10. Revealing Mustafa Ali As The Leader
Mustafa Ali has been one of the most underutilised superstars under WWE's umbrella. He has a terrific move-set, he's quite a brilliant promo, and most importantly, he's a natural babyface. He has the ability to generate a positive, organic reaction through his matches and had previously been in line for two main event pushes.
Why WWE's creative team looked at Ali and decided to push him as the leader of RETRIBUTION is still a mystery. While the reveal was quite cool in isolation, it raises way more questions than it answers. Why is Ali so frustrated with WWE? Why is Ali aligning with the NXT wrestler when he never made his way through that system? How did he come into contact with this group of outcasts?
While there is potential for some of these questions to be answered going forward. It seems more than likely that WWE will brush all of this to the side. Instead, they will focus on establishing Mustafa Ali as a slippery heel. A role that doesn't fit this natural babyface.
