As previously noted, some of the Retribution members that have been seen on Monday Night Raw are people who have wrestled in NXT. It’s not clear if everyone we have seen will be revealed or if the plan is for a small group of people to be the permanent members of the faction.
On this week’s episode of NXT, Mia Yim lost a match to Shotzi Blackheart. The announcers pointed out that Yim is going through a rough patch lately and the camera made sure to pick up the disappointed look on Yim’s face after she lost her match.
“Mia Yim was one of the people running in on Monday night as part of Retribution,” Meltzer said. “That doesn’t necessarily mean she’s gonna be there [permanently] as Retribution. When I saw this match, especially since Mia has been a babyface the whole time, it was like ok Shotzi is gonna probably win because Mia is probably leaving and I don’t know that to be the case and that is just speculation but it did work out that way that Shotzi won the match because I knew she was on the way up and they probably weren’t going to beat her. Mia is ready for the main roster, she can go on the main roster. It’s not like she needs more seasoning or anything, she’s ready.”
For what it’s worth, there are signs pointing towards Yim becoming one of the permanent members of Retribution because she sent out some tweets on Twitter that seem to indicate that she’s tired (storyline) were things are right now in her career.
Here are the latest cryptic tweets from Yim:
Tired. #wwenxt
