Note in this case, the fault was not the paper authors- the editor in chief retracted the paper because the paper said the peer reviewers asked for irrelevant citations to be added, and the EIC concluded "peer review was compromised". So you can expect that the journal won't use those reviewers again.

    In fact the journal states that they removed the reviewers in question from their database of reviewers.
