Retribution has been one of the most dominating factions in all of WWE ever since they made their WWE Main Roster debut on television last year. Retribution is a stable that consists of wrestlers brought up from NXT and now is led by Mustafa Ali. Retribution started out with three men and two women, whom the WWE decided to give new names to and to put under masks.
The group features T-Bar, Mace, Slapjack, and Reckoning. Mercedes Martinez was part of the group, but decided to leave and return to NXT. She recently spoke about her decision to leave with PWInsider.com and said that she was given an opportunity, and she took the opportunity not knowing what the outcome would be. She also said that you got to make the best with anything you can, but she thinks when that opportunity came, it just wasn’t for her. She then said that she thinks they had two different plans, she wanted one thing to go one way and they had a different outlook. She then wished them success and the best.
A fan took to Twitter and asked Mustafa Ali regarding Mercedes Martinez exiting the faction. Ali said that it is because he wanted to prove that how you look and what your name is matters in this company and to “fans” and that no one gives a shit about talent.
