According to new reports, World Wrestling Entertainment looks to be taping the "Tribute to the Troops" Christmas special in Iraq next week. Due to security reasons, the dates and locations of where the WWE crew will be at will be kept under wraps.

While it remains unknown what day they will tape the special, the company does have an appearance scheduled for Tuesday (December 5) in Landstuhl, Germany at the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center where they will meet with wounded serviceman, so that would indicate the company will be heading overseas following Raw in North Charleston, SC.

Scheduled names for the tour include Vince McMahon, John Cena, JBL, Lilian Garcia, The Undertaker, Edge, Randy Orton, Torrie Wilson, Hardcore Holly, Jeff Hardy, Shelton Benjamin, Carlito, Bobby Lashley and Melina. It should be noted that WWE wrestlers will be giving out X-BOX's to the troops at 25 different military locations in Iraq.
