After taking a jab at AEW, Retribution member and possible leader, T-Bar, answered a burning question. Like the rest of the wrestling world, AEW’s Chris Jericho was equally confused.
T-Bar (previously known as Dominik Dijakovic) revealed why WWE signed the chaotic group. As per him, WWE found it cheaper to sign the faction instead of letting them injure the company’s security guards each week. However, the group still aims to destroy WWE.
WWE offered us contracts because it was financially cheaper than all of the security guards we kept injuring.
We signed the contracts to pay for our hired guns to do our dirty work.
Our goal is still to destroy our current employer, WWE. #RETRIBUTION https://t.co/UYN0xWS6VZ— T-BAR (@TBARRetribution) September 26, 2020

Is Retribution WWE’s biggest faux pas?
Since their “debut,” Retribution has caused nothing but chaos. They attacked everyone on their path, be it security, backstage personnel, or main roster Superstars.
In the last episode of Raw, Retribution revealed why WWE offered them contracts and took them in. Although it was done to stop the destruction, Mia Yim and T-Bar reiterated their commitment to WWE’s demise.

Since then, the WWE Universe has been confused about why a group of invaders was validated by giving them a contract. After the previous tweet, T-Bar further revealed that WWE is indeed paying them to destroy their company.
Yes WWE is paying us to destroy their company, because we were successfully destroying it regardless. They think if we are under contract then they can contain/manage our chaos. But they will be unsuccessful. Stop overthinking literally everything. #RETRIBUTION

As of now, there are five confirmed members of Retribution – Mia Yim (Reckoning), Mercedes Martinez (Retaliation), Dominik Dijakovic (T-BAR), Dio Maddin (Mace), and Shane Thorne (Slapjack). All the “post-apocalyptic misfit group” members are NXT alumni.
With Chris Jericho’s comment on the situation, we can expect a jab at Retribution on the next AEW Dynamite. As for WWE, we truly hope Vince McMahon and the creative team does not make a mess out of the group’s storylines.
