Over the last few years a number of new stables have debuted on WWE programming and back in August of 2020 a group of mask wearing vigilantes started appearing on television. The group came to be known as Retribution and Mustafa Ali was later revealed to be the leader of the group.
Retribution quickly became one of the most talked about stables in WWE, but ultimately the group ended up disbanding just a few months after it was formed.
During a recent appearance on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, Mustafa Ali talked about the group’s demise and noted that Vince McMahon ultimately lost interest in the group.
“Did I know it was going to fail? I know we had our work cut out for us. I know the names weren’t pleasant, the masks weren’t pleasant, and it was kind of even more frustrating because there were so many talented individuals underneath these things. I had tried to save Retribution and Vince approved it at first but it just never made air.”
“Retribution failed because there wasn’t a why, there was never a why, Vince lost interest in it, not my story to tell. There was a power struggle between people and Retribution was affected because of that.”
