#2. Reported identity of the members of WWE's newest faction 'RETRIBUTION'

'RETRIBUTION' made a massive statement on the recent episode of SmackDown as the faction wreaked havoc at the Performance Center to end the show. There was a chainsaw, spray paint, unhinged attacks, and complete chaos all around.

So, who are the members? Tom Colohue provided a few updates regarding what to expect from the faction on the latest edition of the Dropkick DiSKussions podcast.

WWE does have a plan for the stable and the individuals who will be revealed as the members. Tom explained that the idea was to reportedly have the next set of NXT call-ups as part of the faction.

Dominik Dijakovic, Chelsea Green, and possibly Vanessa Borne, are some of the names that were being rumored.

WWE's social media team jumped the gun on the announcement, as revealed by Sean Ross Sapp in a Fightful Select report, following the leak of the news via Ryan Satin of Pro Wrestling Sheet.

It's interesting to note that Dominik Dijakovic and Tommaso Ciampa's Twitter handles have been blanked out as of this writing and it could be a possible hint towards their involvement in the faction.

There are many members and the stable could comprise of many known talents from NXT.

Here's what Tom Colohue noted:

"The WWE do know. There is an actual plan for these particular individuals. The idea of a new faction was something that was written at the last minute. From what I can tell, this was essentially the NXT call-ups who were coming up soon, who were sitting by the sidelines waiting for the opportunity, for example, Dominik Dijakovic and Chelsea Green are people that have been mentioned, maybe Vanessa Borne as well. There is a plan, and they did have the people they wanted in those outfits, but it sure doesn't feel like it sometimes, does it? When you consider that's really all we got. To be fair, they didn't hype this one up initially. The news got out by a different wrestling journalist, and then they decided to hype it up in addition."
