JBL wants WWE Tribute to the Troops to continue.
WWE first held Tribute to the Troops in 2003, and it remained an annual event for the next two decades. However, WWE has not held a Tribute to the Troops event in 2024. The show honored United States Armed Forces members, and WWE traveled overseas for the first several years they held the event.
Speaking on Something to Wrestle, John Bradshaw Layfield discussed WWE Tribute to the Troops and reflected on its legacy.
"It’s just been such a cool legacy, such a cool thing to do. I know there’s been some detractors out there, and that’s fine. Overall, Tribute to the Troops, it’s been one of the greatest things I’ve ever been blessed to be a part of, and most people would agree that it has been. I’m glad they’re still doing it. They still call me and say, ‘Hey, would you come back and do commentary for Tribute to the Troops.’ I’m always happy to do it. There’s not a big war going on now, so it’s not the need for encouraging guys at Christmas, which was our whole goal then, but I think it’s important to carry on, just let people know that we support these guys," JBL said.
As of this writing, there is no writing on whether WWE Tribute to the Troops will return.
