Author’s take

Firstly, hats off to the WWE for upholding their commendable tradition of honouring the army veterans of the great nation of America.

What’s intriguing is that the Superstars seemingly step up their game, and put on their very best performances during the WWE’s special show for the US security forces.

Here’s hoping the WWE Universe gets a great show from their favourite Superstars at the event yet again.
