Ryan Satin of Pro Wrestling Sheet says that despite this new group resembling Antifa, this is not intended to be a political faction.
Satin also says that the group is causing chaos to change the way that WWE operates. Here is what he wrote:
Despite the Antifa-like resemblance, sources told us earlier in the day that this storyline is not intended to be political. Our sources also say the “chaos” being caused by the group is being done in an effort to loosen control over WWE Superstars and change the way the organization operates.
UPDATE: WWE has now confirmed on their website that the faction is calling themselves ‘Retribution’:
RETRIBUTION is coming for Monday Night Raw
After a night of mysterious technical errors and incidents, security footage reveals a group of five people setting fire to the WWE Performance Center’s generator.
Chaos reigned on Monday night’s edition of Raw, and we now know the name of the group behind it.
The lights were cut out at several points during the show, including the United States Championship Match between Apollo Crews and MVP, as well as audio issues leading to microphone trouble for several Superstars throughout the night. Many thought the technical glitches were due to a storm in the area, but security footage revealed later in the night would reveal a different story.
Video showed a group of masked assailaints tossing Molotov cocktails at the WWE Performance Center’s power generator, setting it on fire.
WWE.com has learned that the faction behind the attack is calling themselves RETRIBUTION.
Little else is known about RETRIBUTION, aside from the fact that causing chaos seems to be their sole motivation.
Just who is RETRIBUTION, and what is their ultimate goal? Find out by tuning into Raw, every Monday at 8/7 C on USA Network!
