Former RETRIBUTION Member Reveals Why They Left The Group

Last fall the core members of RETRIBUTION were revealed, and Mercedes Martinez was working in the group as Retaliation.

However, Martinez recently spoke with PWInsider and she revealed that she asked to be sent back to NXT after she decided that the opportunity wasn’t for her.

“I was given an opportunity, and I took the opportunity not knowing what the outcome would be,” she said. “You got to make the best with anything you can, but I think when that opportunity came, it just wasn’t for me. When you hit the pinnacle of your career, as I did, hitting 20 years, you want to make the most of your career, and make it part of a legacy.

“I just think being part of that group, it’s not hidden fact that it was me, I don’t hide the fact, I don’t mention it, only because it was just a small part of what the bigger picture is.”

Martinez went on to say that there’s no hard feelings between her and the other RETRIBUTION members, but just that they had different plans for where they wanted their careers to go.
