Why RETRIBUTION's Reckoning Was "Possessed" On WWE Raw
Reckoning's bewildering Raw spot explained.
RETRIBUTION member Reckoning (formerly Mia Yim) partook in a deeply bewildering spot on this week's episode of WWE Raw, hitting the ring and performing what looked like a simulated seizure while the group's male wrestlers competed against The Hurt Business in an eight-person elimination bout.
Reckoning's actions came out of nowhere, leaving fans confused as to what was going on. She tweeted the following after the show:-
So RETRIBUTION are supernatural now, on top of everything else? Cool.
Fightful Select have reported that Vince McMahon did, indeed, want Reckoning to act like she was having a seizure in the ring. It is thought that the performer and several others protested this, believing it wouldn't be in good taste, leading to the possession angle instead, with Vince happy with everything barring the commentary team referring to Reckoning as "Mia Yim".
Reckoning has been with WWE since 2018. Her signing was likely held up by a serious injury suffered after competing in the 2017 Mae Young Classic, though she arrived as a full-time performer after the second tournament in 2018, working her way to an NXT Women's Title Shot at TakeOver: Toronto the following year.
