Raw’s go-home show for Clash of Champions featured the in-ring debut of RETRIBUTION.

After it was announced during last night’s opening segment that the five core members of RETRIBUTION have signed WWE contracts, three of them faced off with The Hurt Business (Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin & Cedric Alexander) in the main event. Dominik Dijakovic is now known as T-Bar, Dio Maddin is Mace, and Shane Thorne is Slapjack.

The match ended in a disqualification when T-Bar attacked Lashley as Lashley had Slapjack in a full nelson. A brawl between the teams broke out and more RETRIBUTION members got involved. WWE Champion Drew McIntyre then led the Raw locker room out to the ring. When they cleared RETRIBUTION out of the ring, Randy Orton came in and laid out McIntyre with an RKO ahead of their ambulance match for the WWE title on Sunday.

Orton also interrupted a match between McIntyre and Keith Lee earlier in last night’s show.

Three new title matches were confirmed for Clash of Champions last night. Lashley will defend his United States Championship against Apollo Crews, The Street Profits will defend their Raw Tag Team titles against Andrade & Angel Garza, and Asuka will defend her Raw Women’s Championship against Zelina Vega. Asuka vs. Vega will be Sunday’s pre-show match.
