Below are a couple of top WWE news stories of the day.
• The WWE Tribute To The Troops special, a tradition since 2003, appears to have ended, with no event held in 2024.
Initially celebrated with live shows for troops in Afghanistan and Iraq, recent years saw the event transition to arenas while continuing to honor servicemen and women.
According to the Wrestling Observer, the event is “done” due to WWE’s focus on other priorities. This marks the first time in two decades without a Tribute To The Troops event.
The Observer noted that the show was closely tied to Vince McMahon’s leadership, and its quiet disappearance aligns with WWE’s shift under new management.

• Charlotte Flair is nearing her WWE in-ring return after recovering from a severe knee injury (ACL, MCL, and meniscus tears) sustained in December 2023 during a match with Asuka.
According to WrestleVotes, Flair’s comeback is imminent, with WWE creative focused on crafting a refreshed presentation for her return.
Reports suggest Flair will embrace a revamped version of her “Queen” persona, potentially with a darker edge.
Her updated presentation may include a more intense, elevated character akin to Seth Rollins’ flamboyant style, but tailored to her persona as WWE looks to reintroduce her in a bold and impactful manner.
