The road to redemption begins for Ex-RETRIBUTION members.

T-Bar and Mace lost their masks during an impromptu tag-team match against Drew McIntyre and Braun Strowman on Monday night. That's one of Raw's biggest talking points - MVP's hired goons now start a journey of self-healing following approx 12 months of creative calamities that turned them into one of pro wrestling's biggest jokes.

Nobody could accurately describe the RETRIBUTION experiment as a hidden gem, but the same can't be said for some of WWE's other 'blink-and-you'll-miss-them' moments from this week's flagship. Raw was full of Easter eggs. It had sneaky tributes to legends, more errant announcing from new boy Adnan Virk, bizarre scripting that made it look like Adam Pearce doesn't believe in a former WWE Champ, a quiet goodbye from one WrestleMania hero and much, much more.

There was also one hell of a shoot comment from Charlotte Flair (that one will ruffle some feathers on social media if fans read between the lines), a dangerous elbow drop from Elias, and WWE's photo doctors went to work on Alexa Bliss' childhood.

Here's everything you probably missed...
