If you picked up a WrestleMania 34 program in New Orleans (or if you downloaded the digital version offered free to WWE Network subscribers) you may have spotted an early cover artwork draft for the 3-disc DVD and 2-disc Blu-ray scheduled for release next month.
The WWE Superstars that made the first draft – shown above – were Brock Lesnar, Roman Reigns, Ronda Rousey, Charlotte Flair, Alexa Bliss, AJ Styles, Shinsuke Nakamura, Seth Rollins, Nia Jax, Asuka, The New Day, Finn Bálor, Triple H, Stephanie McMahon, Jinder Mahal, The Miz, Bobby Roode, Sasha Banks, Kurt Angle, John Cena, The Usos, Naomi, Randy Orton and Braun Strowman.
In conjunction with WWE Home Video UK, WrestlingDVDNetwork.com can now exclusively reveal the final artwork! The updated design for the UK DVD and Blu-ray covers features all of those Superstars but now with the additions of The Undertaker, Daniel Bryan and Shane McMahon.
A shot of Ronda Rousey and Kurt Angle from the evening of WrestleMania appears on the spine.
The year of the event, in this case 2018, is shown on the front cover in the main logo for the first time on a WrestleMania DVD, although some have had the full date printed on before now.
This new artwork is expected to be present on all of the WrestleMania 34 Home Video editions on the way worldwide, of course with the exception of any that release with special alternate artwork. Here’s a rundown of all of the different versions announced so far:
in the UK]
- WrestleMania 34 [DVD, Standard worldwide release]
- WrestleMania 34 [Blu-ray, Standard worldwide release]
- WrestleMania 34 [Blu-ray, w/ Best Buy Exclusive Artwork in the United States]
- WrestleMania 34 [DVD, w/ Sainsbury’s Exclusive Artwork
- WrestleMania 34 [DVD, w/ NXT TakeOver: New Orleans bonus disc in the UK and Germany]
- WrestleMania 34 [Blu-ray, w/ NXT TakeOver: New Orleans bonus disc in the UK]
We’re also pleased to confirm today that first-run copies of the WrestleMania 34 DVD in the UK will be produced as Digipaks! This packaging style is now scarcely seen on WWE DVDs in the region.
Welcome to WrestleMania.
History is made when Ronda Rousey steps inside a WWE ring for the first time ever to team with Kurt Angle and take on Stephanie McMahon and Triple H in a Mixed Tag Team Match!
AJ Styles defends the WWE Championship against Shinsuke Nakamura. The undefeated Asuka looks to extend her winning record when she faces Charlotte Flair for the SmackDown Women’s Championship. Roman Reigns hopes to claim immortality and the Universal Championship in the main event of WrestleMania when he tangles with “The Beast Incarnate” Brock Lesnar.
And will Undertaker show up to accept the challenge of John Cena? On this night, Superstars become legends, and legends become immortal.

How am I just now realizing that WWE stopped putting numbers on their WrestleMania home releases after WrestleMania XXX?
Yup….Jericho mentioned that Vince hates numbering Wrestlemania because it makes it feel old. Pretty stupid if that is reason as the Superbowl is even older than WM but yet they proudly number it. He even said they can’t even refer to WM as “Grand daddy of them all”.
“31” is on the spine of the DVD in 2015, but since then, nothing.
It’s a shame they replaced fhe Best Buy exclusive Steelbook cases for just an alternate cover. The alternate cover is really pointless as it’s not that much different than the regular cover, just with 10 less people on it.
Oh, Best Buy has exclusive ARTWORK? So? Why not an exclusive set of matches or segments? Maybe a bonus disc? But, no… Artwork? Remember when FYE did store exclusives and they at least came with bobble-heads?
Nicholas didn’t make it on the cover?? Boo!!!
I probably would have gotten this if Takeover came with the regular Blu-Ray too instead of just a UK Exclusive.
Very disappointing that Amazon.ca hasn’t had any new pre orders up or released any new DVD’s starting with RAW25 and so on.
This looks like a complete halt on WWE DVDs in Canada right now for reasons unknown, it’s not just an Amazon thing. We hope something is sorted out soon and we’ll let you know if an update comes.
At least you have the option to order from Amazon.com sharing the same Region 1 format as the US.
I wish we knew why. I’m getting pretty irritated about it because I always make sure to buy them as soon as they come out but there hasn’t even been any PPV releases so I’m going to fall behind. I’m a pretty avid collector it’s disappointing to say the least.
True. But paying shipping and import charges as well as our dollar conversion makes buying dvds not so fun
WWEShop have those great deals and with shipping, import charges and currency most of the time ends up being cheaper than buying them in Canada.
Unfortunately looks like even WWEShop aren’t carrying the new DVDS as the latest is Best of RAW and SD 2017 and they don’t even have Best of NXT 2017. Seems like WWEShop are even scaling back on their DVDs as they know 99% of the time they will end up in the clearance during the $5 and/or $10 sales.
They should have put Sasha, Bayley, Nia Jax, Niomi and Asuka on the front part of the cover. Why are they in the back?
Not sure what the problem is, they’re still featured on the front cover of the biggest PPV of the year? That’s hardly a bad thing. And why would Sasha and Bayley be featured so prominently at the front when they were only in the Battle Royal on the pre-show and didn’t even win? Bayley isn’t on the cover either by the way (you seemed to be subgesting she was).
1st picture is misleading, as the dvd looks to me like a steelbook
The 1st picture probably accurately reflects what the US packaging could look like this year.
I liked it better when there were less people on covers.
I’m happy with that cover. Surprised Sasha made the front to be honest, given that she didn’t really do much at the show due to being hidden away in the Battle Royal. A more logical choice would’ve been Matt Hardy or Rusev (or Owens/Zayn?), but then the women wouldn’t have been as well represented, so swings and rouundabouts I guess.
