The viewership information for WWE Tribute to the Troops 2022 is now available.
According to Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics, WWE Tribute to the Troops 2022 drew an average of 612,000 viewers. The special aired on Saturday, December 17, on FOX. Thurston noted that this year's viewership was a new low for the annual show, dating back to its debut in 2003. The one-hour special scored a 0.17 rating (220,000 viewers) in the 18 to 49 demographic.
For comparison, the 2021 edition drew 2.030 million viewers, though Thurston pointed out that having a lead-in after Sunday's NFL games may have helped the numbers. Numbers for the 2020 show were not available, and WWE Tribute to the Troops did not air in 2019. In 2018, the program drew 1.127 million viewers when it aired on USA Network.
WWE taped the matches for the show on November 11 from the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana. In the main event, Drew McIntyre, Sheamus, and Ricochet faced Imperium (WWE Intercontinental Champion Gunther, Ludwig Kaiser, and Giovanni Vinci). Braun Strowman and Ronda Rousey were also in action.
