What to Expect From Halftime Heat During the Superbowl Break?

A lot of fans were surprised that this weekend would be quite special. Aside from the Superbowl, the WWE decided to reinstate its Superbowl halftime show. So, what can we expect from the return of the WWE’s halftime show?

UPDATE:

The show will take place during the Superbowl halftime at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando. It will be broadcast on the WWE Network as well as the WWE’s YouTube channel, Facebook page, and on WWE.com.

The Biggest NXT Superstars

Halftime Heat will feature some of the biggest NXT superstars. It will be a six-man tag team match including Aleister Black, Velveteen Dream, Ricochet, Tommaso Ciampa, Johnny Gargano, and Adam Cole. Talk about reasons to watch!

It is currently unknown if the WWE will to the same thing it did 20 years ago; more specifically let the match take place in an empty arena. Of course, a crowd would be great, but we will have to wait and see.

Take a look at The Rock vs Mankind (Empty Arena Match) from January 31, 1999 below:

Unique Location Scheduled?

While we do not know much about the specifics of the upcoming 6-Man Tag Team Match, there are some persistent rumors about the location of Halftime Heat.

After some searching, I found out that the rumor originated from Dave Meltzer, so I do urge our readers to take this rumor with a grain of salt. Nevertheless, claims are that the match will take place at WWE’s performance center.

“I don’t know exactly how they’re doing this and all. It’s on a Sunday afternoon or Sunday night. I guess they’re gonna, I don’t know if they’re gonna recruit fans. I haven’t heard anything about tickets, but they’re bringing fans into the Performance Center and it’s being shot, as far as I know it’s being shot at the Performance Center not at Full Sail.”

“They’re doing TV at Full Sail on Wednesday so I thought they would just tape it at Full Sail, but apparently they’re going live with it. So that’s the deal.”

It is quite common not to know a lot of details of this kind of show, even its late announcements was normal. The WWE wants to keep the details as secrete as possible; this includes keeping rumors and possible spoilers away from the media. I am certainly excited for what the company has to offer us.
