Report: WWE Offered RETRIBUTION New Contracts In Autumn 2020
The faction could be around for a long time
Jan 14, 2021
Since heading to Monday Night Raw, RETRIBUTION has experienced mixed success on the red brand. The new faction initially went on a long losing streak during their feud with The Hurt Business, but they have started to pick up wins in singles matches in recent months against Ricochet and Xavier Woods. They also defeated the Raw Men's Survivor Series Team.
According to Fightful Select, WWE offered all members of RETRIBUTION except Mustafa Ali new contracts back in the autumn. T-BAR, MACE, RECKONING and SLAPJACK were offered three-year deals with a downside guarantee of $250,000 per year.
The offers were said to be "significantly lower" than those made to other talent in the last two years. WWE had previously been in "talent hoarding mode" but that came to an end after the COVID-19 pandemic started and contract offers have been down ever since.
If RETRIBUTION opted to sign the contracts on the table is currently unknown. Several Superstars have reportedly passed on signing new deals with the company as they want to wait until they have more leverage in negotiations.
