It is time for the WWE to give back to the United States military with their annual Tribute to the Troops Special. This year’s show comes from Jacksonville, Florida.

We start off with JoJo in the ring to sing the National Anthem.

Your announcers are Michael Cole and John Layfield.

Roman Reigns makes his way to the ring along with Dean Ambrose, Jimmy Uso, and Jey Uso following close behind.

Roman welcomes everyone to Tribute to the Troops. He says they get to put smiles on each and everyone’s face in attendance as well as everyone who is protecting their freedom all over the world. For him and his family, it is about saying thank you. Thank you for fighting what they believe in, thank you for keeping us safe, and thank you for making the United States the greatest . . .

Roman is interrupted by Sheamus, who is joined by Alberto Del Rio, Rusev, and Wade Barrett.

Sheamus tells Roman to whoa. Sheamus asks if Roman was about to say that America is the greatest country in the world?

This starts a USA chant from the crowd.

Sheamus congratulates everyone for recognizing they are in the US. Sheamus says that he is an admirer of the United States. It is a grand country and it might be in the top twenty or twenty-five nations in the world. To be the greatest nation in the world . . . not a chance Fella.

Wade brings up the British. He says they have better food and better teeth. Wade says American food is complete rubbish. It is full of salt, processed meats, and smothered in cheese. Everybody in this arena is one hot dog short of a heart attack. Wade says he wonders why he cannot find a good piece of roast pork over here. Wade says what he would rather like is a big portion of spotted dick.

Roman says you cannot talk like that because this is a family show.

Wade points out that he was talking about a pudding.

Alberto says compared to Mexican TV, American TV is just trash. Everything is about zombies and dragons, lawyers and hackers. Where are your beautiful women or your football? He is talking about the real football, not the one that you Americans created to be number one because nobody else plays it. Alberto says he does not want to start talking about that stupid country music.

Sheamus says don’t get him started about his beautiful home country of Ireland. Back in the home country, they have the greatest food, the greatest corned beef, the greatest women, the greatest castles, and the greatest gingers.

Roman interrupts Sheamus and calls him ‘stupid’. Roman says that Sheamus is forgetting something. He says you have the smallest tater tots.

The crowd chants Tater Tots.

Roman says he will give them an option. He tells the League of Idiots to come to the ring and put all of your theories about America to the test. Roman says him and his family will show what happens when you talk mess about the red, white, and blue.
