The 2022 WWE Tribute to the Troops special will air on Saturday 12/17 on FOX.  We are told that the time slot will depend on the local market.

WWE taped the following matches for the special, which will be branded as the 20th anniversary of the event:

*Drew McIntyre & Sheamus & Ricochet vs. Imperium.

*Ronda Rousey & Shanya Baszler vs. Tamina & Emma.

*Braun Strowman vs. LA Knight.

With the exception of 2019, Tribute to the Troops has been broadcast since December 2003.  The event first began as a USO tour put together by WWE where they would bring a live event over to American troops stationed in the Middle East and tour different bases meeting with servicemen and women.   

Over the years, Tribute events have been held in Iraq and Afghanistan before moving to domestic locations starting with 2010.  Since 2010, the show has evolved into a patriotic event designed to celebrate those who have entered into military service for the United States.   The Tribute events have led to WWE being honored by the USO, The Army and Air Force Exchange Program and the G.I. Combat Film Festival, among other accolades.   

This year's event was taped in Indianapolis.
