10 Things Post-WrestleMania 37 Raw Told Us About WWE’s Future

2. Retribution = Hurt Business

Ex-Retribution members T-Bar and Mace ran out to blast McIntyre with a double powerbomb right at the end of Raw. Then, the still-masked pair glanced at MVP on the stage as if to hint that they're on his dime. Drew's worried facial expressions when he recovered would suggest the same thing.

Hmm.

WWE may find that combining The Hurt Business and Retribution won't work. Mace and T-Bar have the stench of failure because their renegade group has flopped mightily over the past year. Also, THB was flying with Shelton Benjamin and Cedric Alexander in its midst - there was no need for a change. This is change for change's sake.

If Lashley and MVP didn't need Benjamin and Alexander as heavies, then they don't need two masked goons either. Sadly, it looks like that's where WWE want to take things. Drew will spend the next four weeks fighting them and maybe Braun Strowman, or so it seems.
