A new report states that the five members of Retribution have been affected by the recent COVID-19 outbreak in WWE resulting in the group quarantining for 14 days.
Ryan Satin at Pro Wrestling Sheet is reporting that T-Bar (Dominik Dijakovic), Mace (Dio Maddin), Slapjack (Shane Thorne), Reckoning (Mia Yim), and Retaliation (Mercedes Martinez) have all tested negative for COVID-19 but will have to quarantine for 14 days after coming into contact with someone that was positive for the virus.
It is not known when the quarantine period would have begun and when they are eligible to return. The group has not appeared on WWE programming since last Monday’s Raw on September 21st.
Regarding RETRIBUTION not being cleared to compete at the moment, sources tell me all 5 members tested negative for COVID-19. However, the group’s members each have to quarantine themselves for two weeks because they came into proximity with someone who tested positive.

It was first reported by Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter on the Sunday Night’s Main Event program that the COVID-19 outbreak may have impacted the group. Meltzer stated there was “more than a chance” that was the reason they didn’t appear on the Clash of Champions show and that there were members of the group not cleared.
