10 WWE Booking Steps To Save The Members Of RETRIBUTION
6. Shane Thorne And Dio Maddin Dominate Raw's Tag Division
The entirety of RETRIBUTION won't necessarily be split up for good quite yet, as Shane Thorne and Dio Maddin should stick together and find mass success in Raw's doubles division.
If we're being brutally honest, there isn't a single hope for Thorne on the main roster. Once his old TM-61 pal Nick Miller left the company, that was it for poor ol' Shane. Once a legitimate standout wrestler in Pro Wrestling NOAH alongside Miller, he is now a shell of his former shelf.
That's why, by pairing him with Dio Maddin, he could succeed. Yes, Thorne is technically a more experienced wrestler than the former Raw commentator, however, there's far more potential for Maddin to survive in WWE than there is for Thorne.
By having the duo (either with a team name entirely separate to RETRIBUTION or without one at all) running roughshod over Raw's tag team division, they'll be able to stay relevant for a bit longer. They need to defeat, in no particular order, The Lucha House Party, The Miz and John Morrison, The New Day, and hell, maybe even The Hurt Business once Vince inevitably decides he's had enough of them despite them being the saving grace of Monday nights.
They don't need to become Raw Tag Team Champions, but dominance will go a long way.
