By now, it’s becoming a running joke. RETRIBUTION will never win a match. Ever. Ever, ever, ever, EVER.

This time, the quartet lost an elimination match (hey, it would’ve been cool if there was a PPV where elimination matches took place, rather than shoving this on a random Raw) to the Hurt Business, with only Slapjack scoring a rollup pin on MVP after Reckoning feigned a breakout of hives for a distraction. (T-BAR and Bobby Lashley got counted out.)

Mustafa Ali got himself disqualified after he was all alone, with his partners eliminated and facing a 2-on-1 situation. So newly turned heel leader Ali couldn’t even defeat one person before being forced to grab a chair and swing it.

Yup, what a terrifying force. Just put them out of their misery, Old Yeller style.
