Last week WrestlingDVDNetwork.com revealed that the WrestleMania 37 DVD extras will include a whole disc devoted to special features – that’s coming worldwide, but for fans in the UK and Germany there’s even more extras still to unveil!
Fremantle in the UK are set to release an exclusive version of WrestleMania 37 with an EXTRA DISC – for the DVD this is to be an ASDA Retail Exclusive and WWEDVD.co.uk Online Exclusive. For the Blu-ray, it will only be available online.
Originally intended as a “Best of WrestleMania Week” (now covered by the standard DVD/Blu-ray extras), the bonus disc will instead be a “Best of RAW & SmackDown after WrestleMania” collection with just under two-hours of matches and segments from the episodes of RAW and SmackDown immediately following The Show of Shows.
This bonus disc will only be part of the exclusive 4-disc DVD and the exclusive 3-disc Blu-ray (2x Blu-ray discs + 1x DVD bonus disc). You’ll be able to spot it because this extended version will feature alternate artwork, differentiating it from the regular (and international) release.

Bobby Lashley vs. Riddle

As a reminder, the standard cover artwork for ‘Mania 37 will look like this:
Below is the finalized alternate artwork for the exclusive with bonus disc.
Eagle-eyed readers will notice this cover is… well, just the same as the “to be confirmed” artwork that was originally released with the first announcement (more of a close-up shot, taking away Daniel Bryan, Randy Orton, Edge and Damian Priest).
This exclusive with alternate artwork and bonus disc will be available from June 7th, 2021 in the UK; WWEDVD.co.uk has your pre-order opportunities for both DVD and Blu-ray editions. Alternatively, pick up the 4-disc DVD in ASDA stores from the same date.

Actually, i like this cover with the main players of the event. The cover on the 3 disc release looks too crowded.
Yeah, but I just don’t feel that Drew and Lashley are any bigger players than Edge and Bryan though. I mean Edge won the Rumble.
I don’t really understand the mentality of the exclusive artwork for this year and last. I understand removing the amount of superstars if you want to make the exclusive artwork highlight the main matches of the show (like they did for WrestleMania 35), but to still basically leave a random jumble of stars, only LESS of them, I don’t see how that’s any kind of bonus to those buying the 4-disc edition. Oh well, still got the standard edition artwork underneath I suppose.
It’s a real shame that nothing of note really happened on those post-WM shows though, as there’s more build-up footage that I would’ve preferred, and that SmackDown tag title match from WrestleMania Smackdown should really be on there.
Sure glad i bought a multi-region d.v.d player. I found out on the remote control, there is a ”ZOOM” button where you can re-format a movie or event. Certain previous pay per views on d.v.d are in ”Full=screen”. Your player can re-format them to either a square box wide screen format or show them in a ”2. 35.1 widescreen format. I was able to see ”Wrestlemania” parts 30 thru 36 in that format and it looks so much better. When i get this newest Wrestlemania, i ont look at it in the ”1.78.1” format, i’m gonna see it in the 2.35.1
Depending on what it is, I for the most part get bummed out with UK Exclusive releases since we obviously don’t get that stuff in the US. (and importing fees are expensive with where I am) This is one I don’t care about since the post WrestleMania stuff has been very underwhelming. If it was available here, I’d get it due to the extra content editions becoming “rare” down the line and it’s cool to have that extra stuff. Other than that, post WrestleMania Raw & Smackdown this year was underwhelming and the product has been that way for a couple weeks now.
On another note, depending on how they do the format of the Blu-ray, I can see them doing a couple of more matches from Stand & Deliver as exclusive content, most likely the ladder and unsanctioned matches.
As a matter of fact, it looks like they recorded most of both shows on the bonus disc.
Wow ! The listing on the 4th disc is great. Looks like i’ll be getting the 4 disc ”UNITED KINGDOM EXCLISIVE” June 7th.
