AEW Commentator Jim Ross gave his thoughts about Sunday Night Heat

On the recent episode of his podcast Grilling JR, Ross talked about the origin of WWE's show Sunday Night Heat and its significance for the company.

Sunday Night Heat was produced by WWE from 1998 to 2008 and mainly concentrated on the mid-card. The recording was carried out during the RAW, but the show made its way to television a week later on Sundays.

The veteran said the show came into existence due to WWE's broadcasting partner USA Network's demand for more content. The company used WWE Heat to showcase its mid-card performers and also served as a preview to upcoming pay-per-views.
