Mustafa Ali looks to have been revealed as the leader of RETRIBUTION on last night’s episode of Raw.
After pinning MVP in a six-man tag last week, Ali faced MVP in a singles match last night. Ali came out for the match alone but told MVP to bring Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin with him. As the three Hurt Business members cornered Ali during the match, the lights started to flicker and the RETRIBUTION logos appeared on the video screens at the ThunderDome.
Ali acted like he was going to join The Hurt Business in fighting off RETRIBUTION, but he instead ordered RETRIBUTION to attack them. After The Hurt Business were laid out, Ali posed in the ring with RETRIBUTION behind him. The commentary team questioned how long Ali has been part of this and said it looks like Ali is running RETRIBUTION.
Ali tweeted after last night’s show: “Some dreams die so others can live.”
The build to Hell in a Cell also continued with the announcement that Drew McIntyre will defend his WWE Championship against Randy Orton in a Hell in a Cell match at the pay-per-view. Orton pinned McIntyre in a six-man tag match in last night’s main event.
