#3 Riddle retained his United States Championship on WWE RAW
Mustafa Ali pinned Riddle in a non-title match on WWE RAW a couple of weeks ago. This week, Ali got his chance to win the United States Championship from The Original Bro on RAW.
RETRIBUTION watched on as their leader tried to win some gold and put the faction on the map. Ali got some offense in early on, but he simply couldn't match Riddle's raw power.

Ali tried to take control of the action with some high-flying moves that stunned the United States Champion for few minutes. Overall, the former 205 Live star capitalized on his opportunity to put on a show and prove his worth.
Ali nearly had the match in the bag, but T-Bar distracted the referee at the wrong moment. As a result, Riddle kicked out of a pin and caught Ali with a Bro Derek to pick up the victory.
After the match, Riddle escaped an attack from RETRIBUTION, and Ali was angry with his faction for costing him this important match.
While Riddle should have had a dominant first title defense, it was saisfying to watch Ali come close to a monumental win on RAW. The two competitors could face each other again at Fastlane, where Ali could finally win his first title in the company.
