The release of the WrestleMania 31 DVD/Blu-ray to the UK and Europe comes 2 weeks today – and this year fans across the pond will be treated to a world exclusive, alternate cover!
We’ve got our hands on a copy, so let’s show off some first look photos…
This world exclusive, alternate artwork has been created specifically by WWE for Sainsbury’s stores in the UK. It’s a limited edition with 4,000 copies slated to be made available.
You will only find it on sale in those stores and it’s only available on DVD format.
At the showcase of the immortals “The Beast Incarnate” Brock Lesnar defends his WWE World Heavyweight Championship against the number one contender, Roman Reigns. Plus, the United States Championship is on the line as John Cena fights for America against the undefeated champion, Rusev.
Undertaker returns to answer the challenge of “The New Face of Fear” Bray Wyatt, and for the first time ever, “The Vigilante” Sting competes in a WWE ring against “The Game” Triple H.
Legacies will be defined and history will be made at WrestleMania.
– FULL Content & Extras List for WWE WrestleMania 31 DVD & Blu-ray…
The exclusive artwork is featured on the slipcover/sleeve as shown in the photos above.
Unlike the recently released US version WrestleMania 31 DVD, the UK’s has a paper insert detailing the content of each disc, rather than listing the content on the discs themselves.
The UK will be getting another store exclusive too. ASDA will be offering the WrestleMania 31 DVD with a shiny, metallic style front and back cover, and an embossed logo.
This one will also be a limited edition run with 3,000 copies slated to be made available.
You will only find it on sale in those stores and it’s only available on DVD format.
Aside from each of their cover variants, the inside packaging is of course the same.
As for the disc content, the WrestleMania 31 DVD packs in over 8 hours and 30 minutes of footage – the full WM31 event (including the Kickoff Show matches), the entire Hall of Fame 2015 Induction Ceremony, and a handful of additional segments on top.
Fans in the UK can find the store exclusives at Sainsburys and ASDA in just 2 weeks!

There’s one thing I do love about the Sainsburys cover and that is Seth Rollins in the background of Lesnar/Reigns…love little details like that.

I want the metallic sleeve in Australia!
Personally speaking, I prefer the “Bohemian Rhapsody Galileo” cover than the 4 quarter Sainsbury’s cover. As for the metallic finish? Yeah, I’ll miss out on that – but I’m pleased with what I pre-ordered!
Slightly disappointing that it’s DVD only, might have got one if it had been bluray
The 2015 plopped into the middle of the artwork seems silly and cheap.
Vince doesn’t want the number 31 attached to the name Wrestlemania out of fear it would “date” the event, but what does he do for this “specially designed cover”? He puts the date on it.
It’s as dumb as that cheesy artwork that’s supposed to be Undertaker.
Yeah. The whole “it dates the event” thing is another one of Vince’s new pet peeves. I guess he feels the higher the number gets, the less interest people will have. I mean, he must be right. Look at the SuperBowl. This year was SuperBowl 49 and… it was the most watched television show in the history of television. Well, there goes that theory. lol
Personally, I feel it adds more prestige as the number gets higher. Vince is so out of touch. Lol.
That’s not Undertaker…
Great cover. I like it much better than the American one.
Undertaker looks like Roman lol
nothing really beats the limited wm XX box set..you really felt, you got something special with that one, unlike this ultra-light version of a so called speciality..
I think getting a completely different cover (albeit the slipcover) is pretty good going for a store exclusive these days. Beats just throwing dog tags in with it.
More people might go for the ASDA one if it were a special tin or something.
comparing it to just having dog tags thrown in, I have to agree with you for sure, Daniel.. thinking about it, if they would continue with exclusive boxes similar to the XX, that one would loose its rarity.
