Season's Greetings.....or maybe Season's Beatings from the WWE. Happy Holidays gang and welcome to Wrestling Lockup with Brandon: Tribute To The Troops Edition. The WWE brought their Christmas festivities to Jacksonville, Florida, to put on their yearly tribute show, to the men and women fighting overseas and unable to participate in Christmas with their families. This year's show promised a huge sixteen man tag team main event and plenty of holiday cheer for everyone. Let's get to the recap of this year's Tribute To The Troops.
- Jo-Jo kicks off the show with the singing of our National Anthem.
- The Family Promo: Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose and The Usos are in the ring for a promo. Reigns gives thanks to the troops for their amazing service, when the League of Nations immediately interrupt. Sheamus appreciates America, but it's not the best country. King Barrett calls the British better. Alberto Del Rio asks where are the beautiful women and real futball? Sheamus says Ireland have the best food, women and gingers. Reigns calls the LON to the ring to show them what happens when you mock America. The LON head to the ring, when out go the lights, queing The Wyatt Family. The Dudley Boys, Ryback and Kane make their way out next, all hell breaks lose with a huge 16 man brawl, which sets up our 16 man tag team main event later tonight.
- "Bootcamp Match": Rusev (w/Lana) vs. Jack Swagger: Lana gets involved early, handing Rusev an ammo box, which Rusev hits Swagger with. The match closes out with Swagger hitting a series of clotheslines and a Swagger Bomb for a near fall. Swagger goes for the Patriot Lock submission, but Rusev escapes and plants a thrust kick, for a near fall. Rusev goes for another thrust kick, but Swagger catches the leg and locks in the Patriot Lock submission.
