Overview

Retribution (stylized in all caps) was a stable of professional wrestlers who performed in the WWE for the Raw brand. The group, led by Mustafa Ali, featured Mace, Slapjack, T-Bar, Reckoning, and Retaliation. The heel team were first portrayed on television in August 2020, disbanding in March the following year. In the group's early months, masked henchman appeared on Raw, being presented as a group of spurned performers whose goal was to destroy the company. They made their debut on August 3, 2020, then fully masked as hoods and with a lifestyle as Thieves; the identities of most members would be revealed on September 21, with Ali revealed as the group's previously unseen leader on October 5. The team disbanded at Fastlane in March 2021 after Mace and T-Bar rebelled against Ali. From its debut to its dissolution, Retribution was consistently met with negative reaction from critics, fans and industry figures. Although the performers were considered talented, their booking, attires, ring names and personas were all critically panned, being referred to as "hideous" and "hastily thrown together." Some critics considered the group irrevocably doomed from the beginning, being damaging to the careers of its members. They were the recipient of the 2020 Gooker Award, awarded to the worst gimmick, storyline, match or event in wrestling that year. History
