10 Storyline Moments WWE Can’t Afford To Book

5. Retribution Become Bray Wyatt's Foot Soldiers

The Fiend Retribution

Being honest, Ali, T-BAR and Retribution generally are already Bray Wyatt's doormats on Raw. In fact, the once-threatening stable have become a laughing stock after some 'Fiendish' booking that also saw them play second fiddle to The Hurt Business.

It's been said before, but it's true: Retribution are entry-level baddies from some 1980s beat 'em up video game. They've got zero menace left at this point, and that might lead WWE towards some more Wyatt-led "fun". What if Bray and Alexa Bliss enlist the group as their own personal army?

Try not to laugh.

Creative has blatantly got no clue when it comes to making Retribution a big deal. It's either this or they ditch Ali, recruit Nikki Cross and become a revamp of SAnitY. If that happens, they'll be more like a retooled version of The Oddities.
