WrestlingDVDNetwork.com can now reveal that WWE’s Ruthless Aggression DVD from late 2020 will receive a follow up release later this year, with:
“Ruthless Aggression Vol. 2”
This 2-disc set will be available to fans in the UK and Europe in May, featuring the 5 episodes that made up season 2 of the “Ruthless Aggression” docu-series. As well as the WWE Network content, if the format of the DVD follows that of Vol. 1, there should be a few extras featured on each disc that relate to the episodes.
As it stands now, “Ruthless Aggression Vol. 2” will be a UK/European exclusive — we have learned that WWE Home Video releases in the US will now be PLE (PPV) DVDs only, so presumably at some point the decision went from cancelling WWE DVDs altogether in the US, to making them PPV titles only.
This feels similar to what almost happened with the 2020 schedule when WWE initially planned to go PPV-only with their DVDs, but later had a change of heart.
On a more positive note, the WrestleMania 38 DVD now has a US release date. The WWE Home Video schedule for Q2 2022 in the US and the UK looks like this right now:
| USA | UK | |
Best of 1997: Dawn of the Attitude – 25th Anniversary Edition (DVD) |
N/A | April 4, 2022 |
Ruthless Aggression Vol. 2 (DVD) |
N/A | May 2, 2022 |
WrestleMania 38 (DVD/Blu-ray) |
May 10, 2022 | May 30, 2022 |
Elimination Chamber 2022 (DVD) |
June 14, 2022 | June 13, 2022 |
Speaking of the PLEs, the DVD release of Elimination Chamber 2022 now has a trailer — you can watch it below!
The end of the trailer confirms the cover artwork we unveiled for Elimination Chamber last week.
Before those Q2 releases, the Royal Rumble 2022 DVD is scheduled to hit US stores this coming Tuesday! No concerns over whether the release will happen; WDN reader and Walmart employee Travis Portman received copies to his store and snapped the two photos below.
REVEALED: Extras List for WWE’s Royal Rumble 2022 DVD & Blu-ray…
In the UK, Royal Rumble will receive both a DVD and a Blu-ray release on March 21st.
WWE’s Day 1 2022 DVD is the latest release to hit stores, the first of the new year, which showed us WWE DVDs are still alive and kicking! Day 1 is available now in both the US and the UK.
Thanks goes out to WDN reader JordanDVDWWE for sharing these photos!
I know that’s not the RA2 DVD cover, but it still annoys me that WWE put that graphic out with an “Essa Rios” era photo of Lita and nWo Hogan. Hogan was red and yellow by the time Cena slapped Angle and began Ruthless Aggression.
You can now pre order Ruthless Aggression vol 2 off of Amazon UK. Just enter wwe dvd 2022 and scroll down a bit.
really appreciate the second volume of “Ruthless Aggression” getting its release.
They need to bring back ”THE BEST OF RAW AND SMACKDOWN” d.v.d’s even if they only make them UNITED KINGDOM releases. Both shows had some really good matches.
Off the record, the upcoming event ”HELL IN A CELL” will be June 5th.
Who cares if the U.S. d.v.d’s are called ”P.L.E’S” [PREMIERE LIVE EVENT], as long as there still being released.
Just to clarify. DVDs are not called PLEs. WWE are starting to call the live PPV events PLEs. DVDs are still called DVDs. Hope that clears it up.
Lol You guys really are going all-in on this PLE nonsense. As long as they’re still airing on traditional PPV channels, which they are, then they’re still PPVs.
Being perfectly honest, when I was reading it, I was going “what the hell’s a ‘PLE'”? Yeah, they’re PPVs. I don’t give a crap what WWE calls them. And besides, “Premier Live Event” is really stupid branding. It implies that all other live events are pointless.
Haha, I know – it’s now just one of those things where you don’t know which one to write. To be honest I think whenever we’ve said “PLE” there’s always been a PPV/Pay-Per-View mention with it somewhere to try to ease it in. They are PPVs to me too.
We used call them MEGA EVENTS in the UK in the nineties
Why you being so aggressive about it? Does it really matter?
Really? On a website where people have debated about the nuances of DVD cover designs, match insert sheets, cover spoilers, and a million other things, does any of it really matter? I mean if we’re gonna go down that road.
Just happy to know WM 38 will be coming out on the DVD format but hoping it will also include the HOF ceremony and whatever extras they can fit onto this set. I’m in for it.
I mean… they could still make other dvds just in lesser qualities sometimes… maybe 3 a year……. what’s so hard about that ……
YES YES YES, PPV DVDs region 1 are still alive. Hope its continue 4ever.
I’m glad that RA2 is being released in these times. I don’t mind that I have to import. Keep us updated on when we can pre order. Thank you.
I know this article just said it may be PPV only releases in the US, but I pray it we still get Ruthless Aggression Vol. 2
If anything, it only makes sense to finish releasing it since they for one finished the series altogether. And two, we already have the first volume, so why not give us the other.
I know it wouldn’t be the first time WWE didn’t finish releasing something, (Survivor Series anthology for instance) but don’t back down is the point. I know I could still import it, especially since I come to find out recently importing certain things where I live aren’t always expensive, but eliminating hassle is just better needless to say.
