4 wrestling rumors we hope are true and 4 we hope aren't: Vince McMahon "really likes" popular WWE star, SmackDown star loses push because of Roman Reigns?

#2. Hope isn't true: WWE's (lack of) plans for RETRIBUTION

Potential in WWE has been quickly squandered on many occasions, and one example of that is the handling of RETRIBUTION. While the faction's potential was quickly recognized, it was squandered even quicker, especially when WWE revealed Mustafa Ali to be the leader of the faction.

The storyline they've been involved in has seen wins and losses against Ricochet, while Dana Brooke has repeatedly gotten the better of Reckoning/Mia Yim. "Failure isn't an option," Mustafa Ali says, as they continue to fail every week.

According to PWInsider, RETRIBUTION attempting to recruit Ricochet will continue to play out in the coming weeks:

Retribution pushing Ricochet to join their group is something that will continue to play out in the weeks ahead.

We hope this isn't true because it's a boring storyline to drag on and benefits no Superstar. Unless a miracle happens, RETRIBUTION could be at risk of losing their spot quickly. Ricochet won't benefit from it in any way either, and he could be progressing with a more interesting storyline.
