#3 Mustafa Ali pushed Ricochet to the brink on WWE RAW

Mustafa Ali and Ricochet on WWE RAW

This week on WWE RAW featured a replay of Ricochet’s interview on RAW Talk. There, he explained that something about his career needed to change. Then, in a video message, Mustafa Ali again told "The One and Only" that he needed help, so he should join Retribution.

Ricochet was outmanned by the group's presence at ringside. It was a constant factor in this match, as T-Bar interfered right away. But Ricochet persevered, and he continued to fight. He almost single-handedly took down Ali and his stablemates.

Ricochet almost won the match with the Kickback, but Mace saved Ali from the pinfall. The former United States Champion tried to take down all the members of Retribution at ringside, but the numbers game proved to be his undoing.

Ali got his knees up just in time to avoid a Shooting Star Press. He then locked in the Koji clutch, and he made Ricochet pass out.

After the match, Ali told Ricochet to join Retribution. But Ricochet rejected the offer once again. This rivalry still has some steam left, but WWE will need add some excitement to it. Otherwise, the fans might start to permanently lose interest in Ali and his faction.
