As of late we’ve been hearing about a WWE coin collection in the works (thanks to WDN readers Nick Pavao and “K-Audio 85”) with an unknown link to the company’s Home Video division.
Today that’s confirmed to be part of an Amazon-exclusive WrestleMania 33 DVD!
It will feature a collectible coin of The Undertaker who seemingly retired at the historic event in Orlando, Florida earlier this month. The face of “The Phenom” will appear on one side of the coin, with the WrestleMania 33 logo on the other, as we’ve pictured here:
This exclusive version of the 3-disc WrestleMania DVD will include both the Undertaker coin and a display case that holds the “WWE: Official Coin Collection 2017”.
A further three coins will be available in Amazon-exclusive versions of the Money in the Bank 2017, SummerSlam 2017 and Survivor Series 2017 DVDs released later in the year.
Early indications suggest that this limited edition offering will only be produced and sold in Canada. However, it is possible for fans in the United States to grab the set if purchasing online.
Amazon.ca has the exclusive listed now with a scheduled release of May 16th.

Speaking of bonus items in your WWE DVDs, in a new “Fan Council” survey this week the company has been gauging fan interest in seeing any of the following included with future titles:
— Collectible trading cards
— Posters
— Download codes for WWE mobile game content
— Bonus footage
— Figurine
— Mini books
— Audiobook download
— Digital copy
— Fathead WWE Wall decal
The same survey asked fans to respond on their likelihood of purchasing a DVD/Blu-ray title that contains content that’s also available on the WWE Network, and how this might change if the DVD set included an extended version of what’s on the Network or other “unseen footage”.
On that subject, while we know that a Kurt Angle documentary is happening in the form of an upcoming “WWE 24” special, the recent survey of potential WWE DVD concepts appears to hint that an expanded version of the Angle documentary might see a Home Video release in 2018!
Kurt Angle (Documentary)
After almost a decade away from WWE, Kurt is finally back home. Hear from Kurt as he discusses the personal issues that lead to his departure, witness his meetings with Vince McMahon & Triple H for the first time in years, and follow Kurt’s full journey to the Hall of Fame. Kurt makes clear his strong desire to come back and rewrite the ending of his career, and this was the first step.
WWE’s next DVD/Blu-ray documentary will be “Fight Owens Fight – The Kevin Owens Story”.
Here’s a closer look at the box art planned for it, ahead of the release this July:
The International Wrestling Syndicate (IWS) out of Canada, where Owens spent much of his early wrestling career, have posted an exclusive new teaser trailer (below) for the documentary and thanked WWE for “loading the DVD with IWS footage and interviews”.
As you may recall from the content listing, IWS actually has its own extra on the KO-DVD.

“Double Feature: Payback & Backlash 2017” is next up for the 2-disc PPV DVDs, which will combine this Sunday’s RAW-exclusive event with next month’s SmackDown-exclusive event.
WWE Home Video UK shared this preliminary cover artwork for the release:
CLASSICS: On your eBay Watch List for tomorrow is a steal-priced classic that set the blueprint for modern-day WWE DVD we have today and was, at the time, full of hidden gems…
And on Sunday there’s a chance to bid on one of the rarest WWE DVDs in existence…

I’m not buying Mania 33 because of a collectible coin… lol.
M.I.T.B. instead of Rumble? Guess the coin set wasn’t planned out.
Instead of stuffing the releases with these “Toys r’ Us / Mattel” crap, WWE should go back to produce and release sets like the “Hulk Still Rules”, Ric Flair’s “Ultimate Collection” and such:
Run-time of discs were way over 2 hours each. Many extras and they exciting and gave meaning.
Only problem: extras never had a PLAY ALL button. :-/ But..even these recent years, some releases are lacking that button: Attitude Era vol. 1 and Batista blu-rays, disc 1.. 🙁
…and ther were excitin..
