It’s Wednesday and that means there’s another “wild” WWE DVD sale running in the UK.
As reported, beginning last week, WWEDVD.co.uk have kick-started new 24-hour flash sales set to discount one WWE DVD title each and every week. Today it’s your chance to grab the PPV twin-pack “Double Feature: Payback & Backlash 2017” on DVD for just £5!
This deal will expire tomorrow morning at 7AM so get on over to WWEDVD.co.uk before then.
This week rumors have surfaced of a WWE-produced project in the works for Rey Mysterio.
Reports attributed to PWInsider.com suggest that Alberto Del Rio was recently back at WWE Headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut to film interview comments for a Rey Mysterio-related project.
Since then we’ve been inundated with messages from WDN readers asking if there will be a new Rey Mysterio DVD. We did some digging but as of right now it’s too early to tell and such a DVD is unlikely be confirmed, green-lighted or worked on before Rey is officially back in the fold with WWE.
One thing we have been able to confirm is that this is NOT the replacement for the cancelled Shane McMahon DVD in June. Early indications would appear to be that a Mysterio DVD is not on the 2018 Home Video schedule, therefore if the rumors are true it’s more likely the company has plans for a WWE Network special, possibly an episode of “WWE 24” which one could speculate might center around Rey’s surprise return to WWE at the Royal Rumble.
WrestlingDVDNetwork.com is working on bringing you details of the replacement for Shane O’Mac. Expect to hear about it as soon as confirmation comes through!
The Home Video release of WrestleMania 34 has gone live for pre-order on Madman.com.au; the home of the official licensee for WWE DVDs in Australia and New Zealand.
Conspicuous by its absence though is a Blu-ray of this year’s WrestleMania as only a DVD version has been added to the site, stirring up concern again that WWE is scaling back on Blu-rays.
At this time we still expect there to be a ‘Mania Blu-ray in this region given what was hinted to us in recent months and with there being a Blu-ray now scheduled for both North America and Europe, so there could either a delay listing the edition for Australia or it may end up as store exclusive.
In case you missed it, for fans in the United States WrestleMania 34 is currently the one and only WWE Blu-ray scheduled for release in the remainder of 2018. There will also be a Best Buy exclusive version of the WM34 Blu-ray featuring alternate cover artwork.
The Royal Rumble 2018 DVD officially hit stores across the United States yesterday, a 2-disc set with a runtime close to 5 hours, featuring the full PPV card headlined by both the men’s and women’s Royal Rumble Match and the Kickoff Show matches as extras.
Amazon.com has it in stock now for the competitive price of only $12.96.
Fans in the UK get it one week from Monday, along with a Blu-ray edition that’s exclusive to Europe.

another Rey Mysterious dvd? the last two of his dvds were pretty bad and is there any good matches left to be thrown on a 3 disc set?
“another Rey Mysterious dvd?”
Well no, the item said it’s not likely … so?
“the last two of his dvds were pretty bad”
which one are you refering two? I’d argue that if you are talking about “Biggest Little Man” and “Life of a Masked Man”, I vehemently disagree.
the former has a ridiculous amount of great matches (many from WCW’s cruiserweight division) and the latter still has enough worthwhile matches.
wrestlingdvdnetwork review of “Biggest little Man”: http://www.wrestlingdvdnetwork.com/review-rey-mysterio-biggestlittleman-dvd/7179/ (with Brett Mix, who had written that review, awarding 13 out of 29 matches with four plus stars. and Meltzer still at least gave 9 out of these ****+)
“Life of a Masked Man” review: http://www.wrestlingdvdnetwork.com/review-wwe-rey-mysterio-thelifeofamasked-man-dvd/17875/ (Brett Mix rating 9 out of 28 with ****+ stars and Meltzer going ****+ for 3 of them)
(and that’s not even listing the amount of ***+ matches that, while not being great, are still good)
If it’s an Unreleased set then I’d say yes. It can include unreleased material from WWE, WCW and if I’m not mistaken ECW bc he did spend some time there. Am I correct?
Yes you are correct he was in ECW.
I hope the relacement for Shane’s DVD is something from like the 1997-2000 timeframe, like Best of Superstars, or Shotgun Saturday Night. I’d totally mark out if we got a True Story of Summerslam to continue the series after releasing the true stories for the royal rumble and wrestlemania. I do know that this June release could maybe be Backlash 2018 as all PPVS are going to be dual branded after Maina 34 so we can maybe see double features being phased out and reverting back to single disc DVD’s. I’m all for Rey getting a DVD retrospect, however since hes only in talks for a return I’d hod off to maybe 2019
I literally cannot imagine that there is much a “story” about the Summerslam PPV. They were spreading it pretty thin with the Royal Rumble documentary as it is.
There’s a story for everything in wrestling. As one of the Big Four ppv’s Summerslam’s time will come for sure. Literally!
I thought the main feature of “True Story of the Royal Rumble” was really disappointing (especially considering how stellar the WrestleMania one had been).
Agreed. Way too short and too much focus on later yrs. The brilliant 1992 Rumble deserves an hr on its own!
Yes I agree with you and @whut regarding your True Story points. Once Summerslam is done, they should follow up with Survivor Series. Then that’s all big 4’s getting True Story sets. Maybe that can then be followed by KOTR (the ppv editions mainly) and/or IYH, then TV like RAW, SD, Heat, Superstars, Saturday Night, etc.
Please let this be the first WCW unreleased dvd set.
oh man that would be incredible…what a year 2018 would be if so
The Mysterio project could be a Network thing like an episode of 24 or something like that.
As was clearly pointed out in the article.
We want the Randy Savage DVD listings. Come on guys!
Hopefully they are just putting in extra thought into it.
For all we know, they might just wait to the day before the release date to reveal listings.
Don’t say that Ryan. That would be the worst. End of next week should be the latest!
Well thank you for dictating when YOU think the listing should be published, Wrestlevessel.
Don’t call me out Todd.
The match listings used to be up really early but thkngs have gotten pretty slow on here recently.
I can already pre-order the DVD on wwe DVD UK site so how bout the full listing if not a week long reveal like we used to get
So what’s your point? “Come on guys” how? How can they post it if they haven’t received it from WWE yet?
Sorry dad! Lol
And u know for sure they haven’t had it already and are just waiting to post it?
