Event: WWE Monday Night RAW Results Date: Monday, December 19th, 2005 Location: Overseas in Afghanistan Results by PowerWrestling.com

WWEs Tribute to the Troops opened up with footage of the soldiers welcoming WWE RAW and charging the camera before we go into a video package. Joey Styles then welcomed us to Bagram Air Force Base in Afghanistan and then the music of Vince McMahon hit as he made his way towards the ring. Vince got on the mic and said the WWE is here in Afghanistan, and they are here to entertain and spread some Christmas cheer. He said Santa Claus himself will make his very first world tour stop right here in Bagram Air Base. He said Santa doesnt understand what to give certain individuals for a Christmas present. He doesnt know what to give the negative media types back home, who have forgotten the troops. He said their story is a beautiful story, with a happy ending. Its a story of duty, honor and sacrifice to your Nation, but more importantly, its a story of accomplishment. Wherever in the world, the men and women in the Armed Forces get the job done. He says the media types should stop telling their storys and start telling theirs. He said as for what Santa should give to the elite members of the media, he suggests Santa give them a nice big bag on Reindeer poop. He says they are here to tell their story, and say thank you, and let you know America supports you! The troops chanted USA, USA, and then McMahon introduced Lilian Garcia to the ring. Lilian and Vince embraced and then Vince said ATTENTION! and Lilian sang the National Anthem. The troops heavily chanted USA as we went to commercial.

Germany:

We are shown footage of the RAW crew stopping off in Germany on their way to Afghanistan and meeting some of the Troops over there. We are then shown the Big Show talking about the troops, and Triple H meeting an injured soldier, with news headlines praising WWE for their efforts spliced in. Art Myers, the Director of Entertainment for the Troops talks about getting so many e-mails asking when WWE are coming back to entertain the troops.

Referee: Michael Chioda Carlito vs. The Big Show

The music of Carlito hit in the desert as he made his way to the ring, and hell be facing the Big Show!

The match:

Show cornered Carlito and then Carlito unloaded with right hand but Show shoved him off, and then to the outside. Show went to bring Carlito back in, but Carlito raked the eyes and then went to work on Show. Carlito went up top and dived off, but Show caught him by the throat and then nailed the chokeslam for the win!
