WrestlingDVDNetwork.com can now reveal the official cover artwork WWE has planned for the SummerSlam 2016 DVD and Blu-ray!
Confirmed release dates so far – October 4th to the United States and, less than a week later, October 10th to the United Kingdom. Given the 4 hour length of this past Sunday’s SummerSlam PPV spectacular the DVD will be a 2 DISC SET in order to hold the entire event.
Below, let’s get a first look at the front cover of the DVD and Blu-ray and the FULL content to be found on the discs, including the list of extras in the works for both versions…
The summer belongs to the new era!
For the first time ever, the newly created WWE Universal Championship is up for grabs when “The Demon King” Finn Bálor goes toe-to-toe with “The Undisputed Future” Seth Rollins. In a battle between Suplex City and Viperville, Brock Lesnar takes on Randy Orton in a match 15 years in the making.
In a rematch from WWE Money in the Bank, AJ Styles and John Cena look to up the ante to see who is the better man. The rivalry between Dean Ambrose and Dolph Ziggler heats up even further when they face off for “The Lunatic Fringe’s” WWE World Championship. The WWE Women’s Championship takes the stage when champion Sasha Banks defends her title against Charlotte.
The Superstars of RAW and SmackDown Live turn up the temperature at WWE SummerSlam.

Cover….. nice to see the women continue to be highlighted as they are. They graced the wn32 cover & Summerslam cover this year. Spoiling Ambrose’s & Balor’s matches, I see that side of it and it’s a fair point.
Extras…. Blu-rays have a good amount of space & WWE have more than enough content to fill that up so I don’t understand the laziness that results in a lack of extras which has been a major downside of these sets, at lesst for ppvs.
Not keen on covers with spoilers, prefer old days with some good old pay-per-view posters.
I agree. Today’s spoiler covers suck!
The cover is nice but would’ve been better if they didn’t spoil the results with Ambrose and Prince Devitt’s matches. Just having the first half on the cover would’ve been cool itself.

Preordered already!
Not fond of commercials but would like to see the KFC promo with Dolph and The Miz as an extra.That was pretty funny.
I am SO excited that the preshow matches are on there. I didn’t think we would get them given the length of the PPV and the recent DVD trends.
What date WWE Summerslam 2016 DVD in Australia
Still TBA (to be announced) as the article above says. 🙂
If hear news about WWE Summerslam 2016 DVD release date in Australia just let me know
I want preorder the WWE SummerSlam 2016 DVD
I need WWE SummerSlam 2016 DVD so bad Australia release right now please Australia release in October 19th or 26th in 2016
Cool cover and stoked to get extras, very disappointed when money in the bank had the kick off matches listed inside the DVD cover but weren’t included on disc . not sure what the other ppv this year will be like but hoping for a massive raw vs smackdown survivor series!!!
I also can’t tell who is being sarcastic about spoiler covers or not anymore
They really should’ve included TakeOver: Brooklyn II as part of the package. Hopefully they start doing that with the TakeOver shows for Mania and SummerSlam next year.
I am actually surprised that R-Truth was not looking for Pokemons under and around the New Era championship belts / straps at Summerslam..would make a perfect DVD extra!
Is it just me, or does the Universal strap look a lot like the “revolutionary” Womens belt?!?
is’nt it strange, that there seems to be way more incidents of performers injuried these days than in the socalled more violent eras of Attitude and Ruthless Agression?!
Performers in any kind of art, when get more free space to perform their art without too many restrictions, they feel more safe to push limits, thus take their work to higher scales..which makes it more entertaining to experience..and the performers feel their work acknowledged more.
WWE has got a control fetish, that makes its great performers locked inside a square of bored story-lines..or even non-existend story-lines.
I wouldn’t necessarilly compare wrestlers from the late 90s to the wrestlers today, as far as injuries go. Look at the death rate of wrestlers from the late 90s compared to today. Guys may appear to be getting hurt more now, but that’s because they’re not loaded up on painkillers like they were back then. Overall the wrestlers today are much more taken care of than they were 15-20 years ago.
AJ Styles all the way in the back. SMH
So he’s made it onto the cover, but you’re still bitching.
Seeing them side by side like that you realize how the similar-looking belts can be a little confusing…
My only problem with it is that if one is red, the other should be blue, if it’s red because it’s on Raw.
Oh no! Spoilers! Finn Balor wore makeup at SummerSlam! I’m not buying this now
Good on point unexceptionable cover can’t buy
Not only that Dean Ambrose’s tank top is off…dammit spoiler covers…why ruin the show for me, i only follow WWE through my collection. I don’t watch RAW, SD, and don’t go on new sites and never go on WWE.com. I sit in my basement waiting for the PPV DVD to be released to find out whats going on.
You suck WWE..not buying this DVD.
You people never understand the argument against spoiler covers. Of course everybody knows who won right now. But in 5-10 years time when you take the DVD off your shelf and feel like watching it (and if you’re not an autistic savant who remembers everything forever) it would be nice to put it on one evening and retain some element of surprise.
Haha explains why spoiler covers don’t bother me, I remember every wwe ppv back until 99 rumble
Sounds like RabidHeat and captainplanet have huge plans for their futures!
Sounds like you and AD Degreez don’t have much in your futures, certainly not much in the way of getting girlfriends, if you can remember full PPV results back to 1999.
RabidHeat gets it. This x10. Hardcore collectors are not the majority of people, and it’s easy to forget what happened at certain events. I wouldn’t want the spoiler of movies to be on movies I have long since forgotten, same applies to wrestling shows.
Is The Lesnar DVD Still coming out October 11? Because it is still listed at Unavailable on Amazon
There’s a bunch of them switched to “unavailable” now and it’s probably just temporary, even if unusual. Try not to panic 🙂
I think it’s an Amazon problem as, last I checked, it was available on the Best Buy website.
