“The Best of RAW & SmackDown Live 2017” DVD will join “Best of NXT 2017” and “Best PPV Matches 2017” as WWE’s first 3-disc DVD sets of the new year. For the look-back at Monday Night RAW and SmackDown Live’s greatest moments this year, the company will be releasing a compilation of 32 matches and segments witnessed on the two brands between January and November.
That covers a lot of ground and with it a lot of history-making moments; The Undertaker, Goldberg and Brock Lesnar sharing the same ring before Royal Rumble, Shinsuke Nakamura’s main roster debut and match with John Cena, Braun Strowman destroying Roman Reigns, the second Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match, Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins sparking a reunion of The Shield, AJ Styles winning the WWE Championship in the UK, and much, much more!
Along with the matches will be “flashback”-style video packages that serve to highlight other stand-out moments that didn’t quite make the cut, in addition to host segments with WWE personality Charly Caruso. Everything combined, that’s almost 9 HOURS of footage crammed into this one! And we’ve just got hold of the full list of everything included, which we present to you now…

I bought mine today and when I got it home and put it in all one has is Rick flare and his whole history of his career. So I took it out and looked at it. And my dvds are gold and blue and it says Nature Boy Rick Flare The Definitive collection. Is this the right DVds. All 3 discs are like this. I am highly pissed.
Got my copy today and impressed with the matches. sorta wish it was on bluray so maybe we could of got bray vs cena vs aj triple threat for wwe title or ORTON vs Nakamura or few others but over all good dvd. Looking back 2017 was not as bad on tv or ppv. i mean there were duds like fastlane battleground and raw or sd or 2 but 2017 was a good year
I’m happy with this DVD but it’s missing just a couple of good matches which is the triple threat match for the WWE CHAMPIONSHIP between Wyatt Cena and Styles. The falls count anywhere match between Natalya and Nikki Bella but I give the DVD excellent
Reigns getting shit by the crowd the night after wrestelmania 33 should have been there Joe choking out Heyman as well big Cass turns on enzo as well and some of strownman vs reigns matches like the last Man standing match when strownman kills reigns with the chair was fucking awesome or the steel cage match because of Kane’s return and All moments with strownman and the big show the match when they broke the ring I’m glad they added the steel cage match
Joe choking out Heyman is on there and Cass turning on Enzo is on there. Also the angle where Strowman kills Reigns backstage and throws him off the loading dock(which was better than any match they had) is on there.
It looks like they’ve favoured title changes over match quality and seems like there’s more SDLive probably as shorter matches but will be a good rewatch considering I’ve been out the loop this year on rise of Strowman etc.
This release would have really benefited a HD release on Bluray as all the footage is in HD quality yet gets downscaled and released on lower quality in DVD, in this day n age where 4K Ultra HD is starting to take shape and entice the consumers in purchasing 4K physical media or streaming a multi-millionaire company is so far behind in terms of what is mainstream and barely make effort to release a higher quality physical media, yes consumers not purchasing as many wwe blu ray in the past has made a big impact in terms what WWE releases in blu ray but if you don’t put the blu rays out there worldwide for consumers to purchase then of course its not going to sell as well, look at movie 4K Blu Ray discs a lot of people said the physical media is going to fade out and 4K discs are going to fail yet people purchasing the 4k discs is doing considerably well based on reports and figures because there is actually loads being sold and proper effort is in place, i myself have actually started to build a 4k uhd disc collection and will continue to do so as it by far the best when it comes to quality as tv screen sizes are increasing you need the best physical media to compensate, just a shame that had to come on here and ramble about this as i would have almost 100% have purchased this release if it was on blu ray!!
No, it isn’t. WWE is a billion dollar machine, they can afford distribution. When a company like WWE isn’t producing Blu-Rays, it’s because the fans aren’t buying them and they didn’t get to where they are by continuing to produce merch that doesn’t sell.
I didn’t say they can’t afford distribution. I said the blu-ray relases didn’t have proper distribution. Some BD’s were understocked, others were only sold with a limited release at certain stores instead of a wide release. The distribution in the US was shotty at best. And it was that way from the very first release in 2008. They nevet put their full distribution arm behind blu-rays. You either could never find them or they were only sold online or some other hoop that people had to jump through.
“they didn’t get to where they are by continuing to produce merch that doesn’t sell.” You mean like the WWE Studios movie division that has rarely ever made money?

Far too many divas matches. Borefest
I was hoping the Wyatt vs Cena vs Styles WWE title match would’ve been on here
i honestly forgot about that match. bray’s only title defense
Reigns getting shit by the crowd the night after wrestelmania 33 should have been there Joe choking out Heyman as well big Cass turns on enzo as well and some of strownman vs reigns matches like the last Man standing match when strownman kills reigns with the chair was fucking awesome or the steel cage match because of Kane’s return and All moments with strownman and the big show the match when they broke the ring I’m glad they added the steel cage match

Also the Festival of Friendship is on there a look back contains the moment
The NXT content reveal yesterday and today the R & SD reveal? Tis the season to be jolly indeed! Great work and happy holidays/Merry Christmas.
No Hardyz WTF and wat about the festival of friendship
Very surprised that Asuka’s rsw Debut isn’t on here
This set could easily be 4 discs.There is plenty of other good stuff that could have been put on here had there been a 4th disc
“Plenty of good stuff”? From 2017? Okay, lol.

Everybody please give thanks to abpeaks for raising a topic that has never been discussed on here before.
If enough people bought Blu-ray discs, they’d produce them. The demand just isn’t high enough.
Or if they had proper distribution, people would buy them. Is it the chicken or the egg?
No, it isn’t. WWE is a billion dollar machine, they can afford distribution. When a company like WWE isn’t producing Blu-Rays, it’s because the fans aren’t buying them and they didn’t get to where they are by continuing to produce merch that doesn’t sell.

“they didn’t get to where they are by continuing to produce merch that doesn’t sell.” You mean like the WWE Studios movie division that has rarely ever made money?
Or their bodybuilding venture from the early 1990’s!
I totally agree with you.
the good thing is that I’m saving because of this.
this match wise is one of the better best of raw and smackdown sets since 2011 bluray set
