After SmackDown went off the air, WWE filmed their annual Tribute to the Troops special.
The shows results are as follows:
Braun Strowman defeated L.A. Knight.
WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler defeated Emma and Tamina.

Tribute to the Troops
WWE’s annual Tribute to the Troops event began in 2003 when John ‘Bradshaw’ Layfield pitched the show to then-WWE Chairman Vince McMahon.
From 2003 to 2009, events were held in various U.S. military bases across the middle east but WWE began hosting domestic events in 2010.
A day before the 2006 event at Baghdad’s Camp Victory, a mortar attack resulted in 14 people being injured but none were WWE talent or crew.
WWE has received several awards for its efforts, and has received recognition from U.S. Presidents including George W. Bush and Barack Obama.
Since 2015, WWE has presented custom WWE Championship to serving personnel as part of the Tribute to the Troops events.
