Ever since Dio Maddin and Dominik Dijakovic (Mace and T-BAR) were brought officially made members of the Retribution stable last year, fans consistently mocked the group’s appearance. But the faction is now gone, and while the pair still have their old names they’ve seemingly ditched the masks that had been a staple of the group during this week’s Monday Night Raw. A tag team match involving the pair, Drew McIntyre and Braun Strowman eventually ended in a disqualification when McIntyre ripped Mace’s mask off and started repeatedly beating him with it. Strowman did the same to T-BAR, prompting the heels to run away before celebrating the fact that they had technically won.

Yes to All Three
Keep the masks off. Keep Dio and Dijak as a tag team. They could be great together. #WWERaw

Welcome back Dijakovic!

One Step at a Time, I Guess…
The masks coming off is the best thing that could have happened to T-Bar and Mace. So now, time to stop insulting everybodyโs intelligence, use their actual names, and acknowledge their actual WWE/NXT backgrounds.
