WWE RAW: 2 Superstars who flopped and 3 who impressed -- Randy Orton stuns The Fiend; Huge betrayal teased on the show (November 30th, 2020)

#1 Flopped on WWE RAW: Ricochet

Ricochet locked horns with SlapJack in a somewhat confusing match on WWE RAW this week. Both Ricochet and RETRIBUTION members were involved in a heated exchange on Twitter over the past week. Mustafa Ali then made it clear that since Ricochet refused to join RETRIBUTION, he will now have to face the consequences. And that's precisely what happened with the 'resident Superhero of WWE'.

This WWE RAW match saw Ricochet and SlapJack engage in an underwhelming in-ring battle. Even though it started really well, the match did very little to show the caliber of either Ricochet or his opponent. One spot saw him fly over the top rope and to take out the rest of the members of RETRIBUTION. Apart from that, the only highlight from this match included Dana Brooke slapping Mustafa Ali across the face.

This created a lot of commotion at ringside which allowed SlapJack to pick a surprise victory over Ricochet. The One and Only was enjoying a great run on the main roster but quickly fell down the pecking order.

Unfortunately for him, that's something that is still haunting him on WWE RAW. Given that WWE doesn't have anything big planned for Mustafa Ali and his group at the moment, they should make the best of this opportunity to involve both of them in a compelling feud.

Hopefully, the creative will continue to push both these talented Superstars and script the next chapter of their rivalry with better story-telling.
