WWE is bringing back their Halftime Heat special for the first time in 20 years to run head to head with the NFL Halftime show. This year the special will air live on the WWE Network and will feature NXT Superstars in a six-man tag team match.
Halftime Heat will see the team of The Velveteen Dream, Ricochet, and Aleister Black versus Tommaso Ciampa, Johnny Gargano, and Adam Cole. The event will air live and will be held at the WWE Performance Center.
The location of the event had been announced previously but it left us to question who would be allowed inside the WWE Performance Center to be apart of the live audience, or if there would even be an audience for the match.
In the latest issue of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter it was reported that over the last 24 hours WWE made the decision that the only people allowed inside the Performance Center to watch the match and consist of the live audience will be “friends and families of wrestlers and WWE Performance Center staff.”
There will be a big Super Bowl Party held in the WWE Performance Center for the big game, and the Halftime Heat event is a special treat for those attending the party that the WWE Universe will be able watch via the WWE Network and WWE’s social media platforms.
