2019 WWE TRIBUTE TO THE TROOPS DETAILS

By Mike Johnson on 2019-10-18 14:08:00

The 2019 WWE Tribute to the Troops telecast will be taped on Friday 12/6 in Fayetteville, North Carolina at the Crown Coliseum.

The event will be taped as part of the live Friday Night Smackdown event the same evening.

Locally advertised for the taping are Roman Reigns, Bray Wyatt, Daniel Bryan, The New Day, Braun Strowman, Bayley, Sasha Banks, Shinsuke Nakamura, Dolph Ziggler,  Robert Roode, King Corbin and more.  Given the nature of the Tributre to the Troops broadcast, one would think Raw talents will be appearing in some fashion as well.

Tickets will go on sale 10/25.

Held annually since December 2003, the Tribute to the Troops 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 others.
