RETRIBUTION has had a bumpy start in WWE despite including highly-talented Superstars. From not being taken seriously by the WWE Universe to decisively losing their second-ever match as a group, there's a lot of work to be done if WWE intends on booking RETRIBUTION as an unstoppable faction and it should start with tonight's Hell in a Cell pay-per-view.

With Mustafa Ali revealing himself as the hacker from SmackDown and the leader of the rogue group in question, RETRIBUTION has the potential to become a big deal.

But as it's said, it's never too late to turn things around. Tonight at WWE Hell in a Cell, RETRIBUTION has a chance to make a solid statement. There are plenty of things that members of RETRIBUTION can do tonight to get back on track and continue their mission of destroying the sports entertainment giant.

So, without any further ado, here are 5 ways in which RETRIBUTION can make an impact at WWE Hell in a Cell.


#5 Add New Members

There's strength in numbers and when it comes to a faction like RETRIBUTION, there are several underutilized Superstars on the current WWE roster who could benefit by joining forces with the aforementioned stable. Here are a few names who have valid reasons to join RETRIBUTION as early as tonight:

#1 Chad Gable: One of the most gifted WWE Superstars currently who hasn't found much success in the singles division is Chad Gable. After expressing frustration over not getting drafted to either RAW or SmackDown and dropping the Shorty G gimmick, Gable may be looking for a fresh start and who better to help him with that than Mustafa Ali, the man who teamed up with Gable for several weeks in 2019.

#2 Mickie James: If there's one WWE Superstar whose inclusion in RETRIBUTION is easily justifiable, it's Mickie James. The WWE Universe have been voicing their opinions for years regarding James' booking. Even though she suffered a minor injury a few weeks ago, she is expected to return anytime now. Revealing herself to be a member of RETRIBUTION at Hell in a Cell could do wonders for her as well as the group.

#3 Austin Theory: It looked like Austin Theory was set for big things early in his WWE career when he was promoted to the main roster earlier this year. However, he disappeared from the scene by summer and returned to NXT. After losing a number of matches over the last month, Theory recently "quit" NXT. Could he make his main roster return at Hell in a Cell tonight as a part of RETRIBUTION?

#4 Chase gold

There are a number of ways in which a Superstar or a group could put the WWE Universe on notice. One way to do it is by capturing a Championship title. In RETRIBUTION's case, holding any WWE title hostage could give them leverage in their battle against the company. This is exactly what the group might have in store at Hell in a Cell.

But which title can the group aim for? The logically correct answer is the US Championship, currently held by The Hurt Business member, Bobby Lashley. RETRIBUTION and The Hurt Business have been feuding with each other for a while now. With Lashley leading his team to victory and getting an edge over the rogue group this past Monday, it's time for Mustafa Ali and the rest of the group to plan their next move.

And what could hurt The Hurt Business more than losing the only Championship in their possession right now? Don't rule out Mustafa Ali or any other member of RETRIBUTION challenging Bobby Lashley for the US Championship at Hell in a Cell tonight.

If that match goes through, fans shouldn't be surprised if the title actually changes hands.

#3 Revisit an open chapter

At Hell in a Cell, WWE could revisit a rivalry that subtlybegan last year but never saw the light of the day. Remember when Mustafa Ali jumped ship from 205 Live to SmackDown in 2018 and immediately found himself feuding with the reigning WWE Champion, Daniel Bryan? Well, it was clear that WWE had big plans in store for the RETRIBUTION leader.

He was even set to be a part of the Elimination Chamber match for the WWE Championship at the namesake pay-per-view in 2019. However, a minor injury caused him to drop out of the match. He was replaced by Kofi Kingston who would then have an impressive showing inside the Chamber and then win the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 35.

As for Ali, he didn't miss much time and returned nearly a month after Elimination Chamber 2019. However, after an impressive showing against Kevin Owens and Daniel Bryan at Fastlane 2019, he was pushed down the card.

Now that Mustafa Ali is taking revenge for being held back all this time, expect him to go back to where it all began and confront Kofi Kingston as early as tonight's Hell in a Cell PPV.

#2 Reveal the truth

While it didn't come off as shocking, fans were excited to find out that Mustafa Ali was the SmackDown hacker from earlier this year. Before the storyline was dropped, it looked like the hacker had quite a few things to reveal, as evident from the teasers that aired every Friday several months ago. What if the WWE Universe gets to find out these secrets at Hell in a Cell?

RETRIBUTION's goal is to hurt the WWE and one way to achieve it is by disturbing the balance. The least they can do at Hell in a Cell tonight is air the footage that Ali acquired during his days as the hacker.

While this isn't the most chaotic thing to do, it is logical and can help pave the way for new rivalries to begin and wrap up the hacker angle on a definite note.

For starters, RETRIBUTION can reveal to Elias that Jeff Hardy wasn't responsible for the accident that took him out of the IC Championship tournament. Or, Mustafa Ali could orchestrate a Miz & Morrison split tonight at Hell in a Cell since one of the last pieces of footage aired by the hacker featured different tag teams.

#1 Sabotage the main event

Drew McIntyre and Randy Orton are all set to square off in a Hell in a Cell match tonight. It's rumored that this bout will close the show tonight. If it does happen, it will be quite interesting, given the fact that it will be Drew McIntyre's first pay-per-view main event as the WWE Champion.

WWE Hell in a Cell is loaded with highly-anticipated matches including Roman Reigns vs. Jey Uso and Sasha Banks vs. Bayley. So, if the WWE Championship match is going last, that means fans should expect something big to go down during or after the main event.

With Survivor Series rumored to feature RETRIBUTION vs. Team WWE as the main event, it would only make sense for either Drew McIntyre or Randy Orton to lead team WWE and this would only be possible if RETRIBUTION gives either of these guys a reason to come after them.

So, expect Mustafa Ali and company to make their presence felt during or after the Hell in a Cell match between The Viper and The Scottish Psychopath.
