Mia Yim was called up to the main roster right after Keith Lee
Following SummerSlam, Retribution members revealed themselves. Many fans said that Yim was called up to the main roster only because of Lee.
However, Yim quickly snubbed off the rumors as she said, “Focus on surfing and less on rumors. I got to where I am because I busted my a** for over a decade.”
