Following the end of an eventful episode of Friday Night SmackDown in Indianapolis, WWE filmed a few matches for Tribute to the Troops 2022. The special show for the United States Armed Forces first took place in 2003.
Braun Strowman, Ronda Rousey, and Drew McIntyre were among the biggest stars who wrestled during the tapings following tonight's episode of the blue brand. They all appeared on the show before returning for their respective matches at Tribute to the Troops.
A few WWE fans in attendance for the show gave updates about the matches on Twitter. JBL and Michael Cole were on commentary for it.
Braun Strowman defeated LA Knight in the first match, doing so after the latter seemingly began a feud with Bray Wyatt on SmackDown tonight.
