#4. Is The Miz the leader of RETRIBUTION in WWE?

The week's edition of WWE SmackDown in the "ThunderDome" opened with Vince McMahon. After a brief confrontation with The Fiend, a brawl broke out between RETRIBUTION and the members of the SmackDown roster.

Two groups of Superstars rushed out to fight off RETRIBUTION. WWE also continued to tease the possibility that The Miz is the leader or one of the top members of the faction.

On last week's show, The Miz was the first to inform the WWE roster that RETRIBUTION were backstage. However, he never participated in the fight, potentially foreshadowing his involvement with the faction.

As noted by WrestlingNews.co, while the SmackDown Superstars hit the ring to fend off RETRIBUTION on the latest episode of SmackDown, The Miz only appeared after the fight was already over.

The Miz has formed an entertaining alliance with John Morrison over the past few months, but the former WWE Champion has been primed for another run as a top star.

The revelation that he is the leader of RETRIBUTION could be a great way to push him back to the top of the card but is that the direction WWE is heading in or is it all just a red herring?
