The 15th annual WWE Tribute to the Troops came to you from the Naval Base San Diego in San Diego, CA. The Superstars of RAW and SmackDown LIVE would convene to put on a special show just for the brave men and women of the armed forces as, in 6-Man Tag action, The Shield would face Samoa Joe and Cesaro & Sheamus. Plus, WWE Champion AJ Styles would team up with Randy Orton & Shinsuke Nakamura to face the team of Jinder Mahal, Kevin Owens, & Sami Zayn. Sasha Banks, Bayley, & Mickie James would also be looking for revenge at Tribute to the Troops as the three former champions would team up to face Absolution in a 6-Woman Tag match. Also, SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair would face “Ms. Money-in-the-Bank” Carmella and The Riott Squad’s Ruby Riott in a non-title Triple Threat Match and, in a big 8-Man Tag match, SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Usos would team with The New Day to face Chad Gable & Shelton Benjamin and Rusev & Aiden English.
