Rumor Roundup: Changes To RETRIBUTION, Samoa Joe’s Future, More

1) Possible Changes To RETRIBUTION

Over the past few days, there has been some speculation that Mercedes Martinez (aka Retaliation) might have been removed from RETRIBUTION. This came after Mustafa Ali did not include her in his recent Tweets about the members of the faction.

Mercedes also posted the following Tweet, which has heightened the speculation that she could be out of the group:

‘Retaliation’ was listed as a member of Retribution on the WWE Draft pool. It will be interesting to see if they end up giving the name to another Superstar.

UPDATE: According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider, Mercedes has been removed from the faction:

Mercedes Martinez, who was just moved to the Raw roster as Retribution’s Retaliation is no longer part of the group, PWInsider.com has learned.

Martinez is being shifted back to the WWE NXT roster.

My Take:

  • This is definitely one that we will have to wait and see. She hasn’t been officially revealed with the Retaliation name, so WWE could replace her and it wouldn’t be a big deal. I am interested to see what happens.
