WWE has announced the return of Halftime Heat yesterday at the Royal Rumble. The promotion will stream a 6-person NXT tag-team match during halftime of “the Big Game.”

“WWE Halftime Heat is back! For the first time in 20 years — and streaming live for the first time ever across all WWE digital platforms,” A WWE press release reads. “WWE Halftime Heat will take place during halftime of next Sunday’s Big Game between the New England Patriots and the Los Angeles Rams.”

Aleister Black, Ricochet, and Velveteen Dream will face Tommaso Ciampa, Johnny Gargano, and the Undisputed Era’s Adam Cole. The match was set up in the moments after NXT TakeOver: Phoenix went off the air:

It was 20-years ago when Mankind and the Rock clashed in the first ever Halftime Heat. On January 31st, 1999 Mankind defeated the Rock in an Empty Arena match to win the WWE Championship for the 2nd time in his career. The Rock had just defeated Mankind 2 days earlier at the Royal Rumble to win the WWE Championship for the second time in his career.

At this point in his career, the Rock had just won the WWE Championship for the first time at Survivor Series, dropped it to Mankind on the 12/28/98 Raw, won it back at the Royal Rumble, lost it to Mankind at Halftime Heat and then won it back on the 2/15/99 Raw.
