3 Ups And 12 Downs From WWE Raw (Sept 21)

5. Contracts For Chaos

Let’s get this straight: WWE has been terrorized for months by a gang of black-clad goons, with management hiring extra security to keep them out of the building (unsuccessfully), so the solution was to give them contracts?

And the WWE announcers just kept harping on how now that RETRIBUTION had signed contracts that they could do whatever they wanted – as if they hadn’t been doing that for months.

Also, RETRIBUTION’s entire gimmick has been that WWE as an institution and its superstars are corrupt, diseased or whatever and must be destroyed so it can be rebuilt. So the way to continue the destruction they’ve already started was to sign contracts and be at the whim of a boss?

Literally nothing about this makes any sense.

WWE just crapped the bed with this entire stable. At this point, package them into a crate and ship them back to NXT like they were the Spirit Squad.
