Note On Announcers Not Acknowledging Unmasked Mia Yim On WWE Raw

By Sai Mohan

RETRIBUTION member Reckoning [Mia Yim] made her in-ring debut against Dana Brooke on this week's Monday Night Raw and it seemed like things didn't go as planned. Barely a few seconds into the match, Reckoning's mask fell off as Brooke appeared to swipe it off her face.

Brooke then defeated Reckoning within three minutes of the match via a roll-up. After the loss, Reckoning was given a dressing down by RETRIBUTION leader Mustafa Ali, who yelled, "There is no failure in RETRIBUTION!"

Interestingly, the Raw announcers didn't acknowledge Reckoning to be Mia Yim, who was a part of the WWE NXT roster for nearly two years.

Although most fans already know the identities of RETRIBUTION members, it is possible that main roster announcers have been told not to mention their NXT names. This also explains why no mention has been made of former NXT star Dominik Dijakovic using the name T-BAR on Raw. WWE has also yet to acknowledge that Mace [Dio Maddin] had a short stint as an announcer on Raw before he was injured in storyline by Brock Lesnar.

Meanwhile, RETRIBUTION member Slapjack [Shane Thorne] also wrestled his first singles match on Raw and picked up a win over Ricochet. Thorne was previously a tag team wrestler on Raw along with Brendan Vick. However, since he re-emerged as Slapjack, there has been no mention of his past on the main roster.
