3. Losers Who Lose Lose Again

It’s a good thing that RETRIBUTION established itself so strongly earlier that it can withstand the speedbumps of a losing streak and a leader breaking down, yelling at his troops.

Oh wait, RETRIBUTION has always been a bunch of losers who lose? Well then, it was nice knowing them.

Slapjack and Reckoning lost a mixed tag match to Dana Brooke and Ricochet On Monday night, with Reckoning (the group’s only female member) taking the loss for the second week in a row, this time after Mustafa Ali somewhat distracted her by barking orders at her mid-match. At least Brooke finished her with a Samoan Driver and not a rollup.

Regardless, this was yet another defeat for RETRIBUTION, as this group that wants to dramatically change Raw can’t get back the guys and gals who are one step above jobbers… which would make them… the jobbers.
