WWE’s annual Tribute to the Troops, a hallmark event celebrating US military personnel, veterans, and their families, is set to air on December 8, 2023, on FOX. This year’s event, taking place at the Amica Mutual Pavilion in Providence, Rhode Island, marks the 21st year of this deeply patriotic and emotionally stirring program.
The Tribute to the Troops has been a consistent tradition since its inception in 2003, earning acclaim as one of television’s most heartfelt acknowledgments of the sacrifices made by the armed forces. This year’s edition is particularly notable as it might be the last to air on FOX, with WWE SmackDown scheduled to leave the network in October 2024.
WWE’s commitment to the US armed forces extends beyond this annual event. Their initiatives include visits to military installations worldwide, complimentary tickets to live events for military personnel, and collaborations with organizations like Hire Heroes USA and the USO. Through their partnership with the National Medal of Honor Museum, WWE shares stories of bravery and valor, furthering their impact in the community.
While major storylines often take a backseat during this special, the Tribute to the Troops event is known for its enjoyable pro wrestling matches and the fun atmosphere it creates for the troops. It’s a unique show in the WWE calendar, focusing more on entertainment and Tribute rather than advancing ongoing storylines.
As WWE prepares for this year’s Tribute to the Troops, fans and service members alike can look forward to an evening of high-quality wrestling entertainment, dedicated to those who serve and protect.
