According the Nick Hausman of WrestlingInc, original plans for RETRIBUTION are different, WWE had planned this faction to split up at WrestleMania 37 event but they decided to go ahead last night, earlier than they planned.
Mustafa Ali is working with torn PCL, which he suffered back in December during the match against Ricochet on WWE Raw. Still, Ali decide to work through injury but during Royal Rumble, he’s leg locked up during his entrance. Then, Ali had MRI scan following the match, which revealed that he needs surgery and rehab to recover from the injury.
So, all this states that this would be the point to break up RETRIBUTION Faction earlier than it’s planned. He’s now exited from the storyline and can have surgery for his injury.

It maybe possible to remain othe four members of stable could stick together but after what happened at Fastlane, it seems company might have idea of Mace and T-BAR to form as tag team, while, Reckoning and Mace might go their own separate ways. There is also no information whether they will bring back their names and gimmicks going forward in WWE.
