Mustafa Ali had a run as the leader of Retribution but the stable didn't last too long

After they feuded with The Hurt Business, Retribution started a rivalry with Ricochet. Members of the group went on to beat Ricochet in singles competition, as Mustafa Ali slowly shifted his focus towards Kofi Kingston and The New Day.
Ali blamed Kingston for taking his spot at WrestleMania, two years prior while the former was injured. After which, Ali was unsuccessful in his attempt to beat Riddle to win the WWE United States Championship, as Retribution slowly disbanded.
Since then, Mustafa Ali has been teaming up with Mansoor and eventually turned babyface once again. The former 205 Live sensation was recently drafted to the blue brand of SmackDown as part of the 2021 WWE Draft and it remains to be seen what plans WWE has in store for Ali on SmackDown.
