They featured matches from the week's events, including exclusive undercard matches (generally squashes) taped before Raw is War. After the WWE brand extension, Jakked and Metal also began to feature matches from the SmackDown brand; as such, it was taped before SmackDown tapings. In May 2002, WWE Velocity premiered and began to serve a similar purpose for the SmackDown brand, while Heat (previously taped before SmackDown!) remained part of the Raw brand.^[2] At the same time, Jakked and Metal were replaced by WWE Bottom Line and WWE Afterburn in syndication.
