Riddle left WWE Fastlane still the United States Champion, while Mustafa Ali and RETRIBUTION left in pieces.
After clashing in recent weeks, Riddle and Ali were acutely familiar with each other, and it showed in an evenly contested bout. Ali took control after brutally spinning Riddle into the ringside post, but he occasionally seemed more focused on proving a point to his RETRIBUTION allies at ringside than actually defeating Riddle.
That proved costly, as The Original Bro unleashed a massive Bro Derek from the second rope for the win.
Ali berated the rest of RETRIBUTION in the ring afterward, again blaming them for his failure. RECKONING and SLAPJACK defiantly walked out despite Ali’s protests, and T-BAR and MACE demonstrated their mutiny in a different way, dropping him with a massive double chokeslam and raising plenty of questions about a potential fracture in RETRIBUTION.
