Retribution finally unmasked themselves this week on Monday Night Raw and took the show by storm. A bigger topic of discussion than just their identities were their new names. It turns out that the leader, T-Bar, is quite a handful on Social media.
In a recent post on Twitter, the faction head took a shot at AEW by demeaning its viewership ratings openly, as you can see below.
T-Bar seems to be highlighting the fact that AEW’s best part of the night could not get above 850,000 viewers, and that Retribution and his own appearances had a huge mark at 1.75 million viewers. T-Bar alone had a viewership of 1.57 million viewers as he delivered a segment.

T-Bar does not hold back with his thoughts with Retribution
However, the ratings did disappoint but managed to still stay well ahead of NXT. AEW’s static position in the viewership ratings has surely led to a lot of questions.
The most prominent one among these is- How long can AEW keep this up? There’s only so many former WWE Superstars it can get a major pop out of.

Although the two shows air on different days, the competition can still very much take place. However, Raw’s worst segment still does considerably better than that of AEW’s best.
WWE has stayed silent and not taken too many shots, but it seems like they have found a face for the attacks. T-Bar is going to be seen a lot, that’s for sure. We will see him around a lot more outside the ring as well.
