You may recall the news last month that other “brand split” PPVs – namely the Backlash and No Mercy events presented by SmackDown – are not scheduled, but in this case the new PPV replaced an existing one in Night of Champions which was already planned for a DVD release.
The Clash of the Champions DVD will hit US stores on November 1st. Fans in the United Kingdom will get it shortly after on November 21st along with a Blu-ray edition that’s exclusive to Europe.
UK FANS: Take 20% off the price of the DVD/Blu-ray at WWEDVD.co.uk with code “CLASH16”.
Expect to see the temporary cover artwork (above) updated soon and any extras confirmed.
Speaking of PPVs, we’re exactly 1 week away from the next WWE DVD – SummerSlam 2016!
Be sure to add the 2 disc DVD to your collection by clicking here to Amazon.com. And heads up – the Blu-ray edition is right now priced lower ($15) than the DVD. Grab your copy here.
So, 1 week early, let WrestlingDVDNetwork.com show you exclusive first look photos…
As you’ll know by now SummerSlam 2016 was headlined by Brock Lesnar vs. Randy Orton, Finn Bálor vs. Seth Rollins for the WWE Universal Championship, Dolph Ziggler vs. Dean Ambrose for the WWE World Championship and, arguably the show-stealer, AJ Styles vs. John Cena.
The free gift to be included inside the DVD packaging is a Topps “Legend” trading card featuring “Macho Man” Randy Savage. Thanks to WDN reader “JayJayRock206” for sharing.
Synopsis
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.

Get your hands on WWE’s new SUMMERSLAM 2016 DVD or Blu-ray…
Backlash and No Mercy were never going to be released in the first place which was said here a month or 2 ago because they were thrown in the ppv calender late this year. And that they were only releasing the last Raw ppvs instead because they are the original ppvs from the calender year maybe next year.
WWE use to release every PPV on DVDs in the past and until now with the launch of the WWE network, it seem to me that WWE get to choose what PPV make it to DVDs and what is not. That is not a wise choice as out there, still a huge group of fans would love to get the PPV on DVDs and blu-rays.
Ha ha ha ha…. of course!! I was actually going to buy Backlash on DVD too, because it had AJ Styles first WWE World Title win on it. But apparently the WWE feels the need to not release it on DVD for collectors. Makes sense to me!! *sigh*

That really sucks that Backlash won’t get a DVD, oh well there’s always the network
No blu ray extras on Summerslam? Has that been confirmed?
Will those above mentioned DVD’s Backlash & No Mercy plus others like it make their way eventually onto DVD? Pointless a litlle to me if not.

Hopefully matches from these ppvs will make match comp or doc sets.. It will make them more appealing without so many repeats
