WWE TRIBUTE TO THE TROOPS RETURNING NEXT MONTH

WWE will announce today that FOX will air a Tribute to the Troops special on 12/6. 

The event will be broadcast from the WWE Thunderdome.  The broadcast will vary based on your local market due to NFL commitments.

An official press release is forthcoming later today.

PWInsider.com first reported there was talk that the event would return as a broadcast event yesterday.

With the exception of 2019, Tribute has been broadcast 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 and other accolades.   

Last year's event was not televised but took place in Jacksonville, North Carolina at Marine Corps Air Station New River.
