More Details On Sunday’s Halftime Heat Special, To Feature Very Unique Setup

So that’s how they’re doing it. This past Sunday at Royal Rumble, WWE announced the return of Halftime Heat, a special short show taking place during halftime of the Super Bow. In this case, the show will be comprised of a six man tag featuring NXT talent. However, there is a little more to it than that. As it turns out the show is going to be something a little more interesting.

According to a new report on Twitter via Ringsidenews.com, the special will take place live from the WWE Performance Center for the first time ever. There will be no live fans in attendance, making the match an empty arena match, just as the first Halfteam Heat was back in 1999. The match will be a six man tag featuring Ricochet, Aleister Black and Velveteen Dream vs. Adam Cole, Tommaso Ciampa and Johnny Gargano.

They did have a good ad campaign. Check out what WWE thinks you need to know about the match:

Opinion: I’ll give WWE this: they know how to set up something unique when they want to. Seeing a six man tag at the Performance Center isn’t something that happens and it could make what is already going to be a good match even more entertaining. Just give us something fun and high quality and it’s going to be rather hard to complain. I know it sounds like a bit much, but NXT tends to be able to pull it off.
