Both programs aired in broadcast syndication weekly from August 28, 1999 until May 19, 2002 and replaced WWF Shotgun Saturday Night.

[1] Originally produced under the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) banner, they were replaced by the similarly formatted WWE Bottom Line and WWE Afterburn in syndication.

As a result of the WWE Brand Extension, from April 2002 until the discontinuation of Jakked and Metal in May of that year (by which the shows were now named WWE Jakked and WWE Metal per the name change that month), both shows began to feature matches from the SmackDown brand; as such, it was taped before SmackDown tapings.

Metal aired in the United Kingdom on Sky1 until also being replaced by WWE Afterburn in May 2002.

Frequent commentators and hosts included Michael Cole,[1] Kevin Kelly,[1] Tom Prichard,[1] Jonathan Coachman,[1] Chris Leary, Marc Lloyd, Terry Taylor and Al Snow.
