Best and Worst of WWE Tribute To The Troops

#1 Worst: The non-wrestling segments

Did we really need two segments from Morgan Wallen?

I've always been critical of the musical performances at Tribute To The Troops, especially in the broadcast that fans outside the station get to see.

Ten minutes of country music could have easily been replaced by a great tag team match, from the actual tag teams in WWE. The audience seemed a lot more into Ronda Rousey and Becky Lynch, than they were into Morgan Wallen.

I found the stand-up comedy bit from Jon Stewart even worse, if that's possible. And this is not a criticism of either performer, both of whom are absolute masters of their craft.

I just thought that the comedy segment and the musical performances did not really belong on a sports entertainment show. Especially when The New Day did not get to wrestle, but only cut a promo before the crowd.
