We told you there would be WWE DVD news this week worth Markin’ out for and today’s the big one, straight from Death Valley (well, WWEDVD.co.uk), we give you, “Undertaker: The Last Ride” on DVD and Blu-ray, with what looks to be the chance to grab it worldwide!
The acclaimed documentary series that looked back on The Undertaker’s storied history in WWE, while capturing the real-life challenges Mark Calaway faced coming to grips with a career nearing its end, is confirmed to be one of the WWE DVDs closing out the 2020 schedule with a release now pencilled in for late November.
Three editions are in the works including a “30th Anniversary Collectors Edition” (on Blu-ray!), named as such because this Home Video release will hit stores almost exactly 30 years since The Deadman debuted at Survivor Series 1990!
— Undertaker: The Last Ride (DVD)
Early information we’ve received suggests the DVD is on the way worldwide!
UK fans are lucky enough to be able to pre-order from today here on WWEDVD.co.uk.
— Undertaker: The Last Ride (Blu-ray)
It’s also coming to Blu-ray! Early information we’ve received suggests the Blu-ray release may be an exclusive to the UK and Europe.
Again, fans in the UK can pre-order the standard Blu-ray from today here on WWEDVD.co.uk.
— Undertaker: The Last Ride (30th Anniversary Collector’s Edition Blu-ray)
A phenomenal Collector’s Edition, the “30th Anniversary Collectors Edition”, will be produced in Blu-ray format too! As of now, this is another exclusive to the UK and Europe. We’ve been told this special version will be strictly limited to 666 copies.
The “30th Anniversary Collectors Edition” will feature: The Last Ride on Blu-ray, exclusive artwork (each copy individually numbered), a mini Undertaker comic, and a photo hand-signed by ‘Taker himself!
The retail price for this one is £74.99. Pre-order now here on WWEDVD.co.uk.
WrestlingDVDNetwork.com has learned that in addition to the DVD/Blu-ray presenting all of the episodes in the series, it will also include the animated bonus episode “Tales from The Deadman”. If there’s space remaining on the Blu-ray edition, we hear there’s potential for WWE to approve some additional extras on top, but that’s still to be confirmed.
When can we grab it? We have a confirmed UK release date right now of November 23rd, 2020.
Chapter 1: The Greatest Fear
Get a rare and revealing look at Mark Calaway, the man behind The Undertaker, as he prepares for the final match of his storied WWE career against Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 33.
Chapter 2: The Redemption
The Undertaker’s greatest fear is realized as his disappointing performance against Roman Reigns fuels the Dead Man to rebuild and redeem himself in a match against John Cena at WrestleMania 34.
Chapter 3: End of an Era
Fresh off his stellar performance at WrestleMania 34 against John Cena, The Undertaker seeks closure on his 30-year career in a series of matches with the men he respects the most – Triple H, Shawn Michaels and Kane. With a dream scenario involving all four Legends at WWE Crown Jewel, the stage was set for The Phenom to ride off into the night.
Chapter 4: The Battle Within
Seeking a storybook ending for his legendary career, the Undertaker’s mental and physical struggles come to a head in Saudi Arabia, with disastrous results. And in the wake of that catastrophe, Mark Calaway makes a major decision regarding his future as the Undertaker.
Chapter 5: Revelation
With The Undertaker seemingly content calling it a career after a successful match at WWE Extreme Rules, the lure of a WrestleMania dream match with AJ Styles brings The Deadman back for perhaps his last ride at The Showcase of the Immortals.
PLUS MORE!
Speculate no more – the empty slot for a “premium” title on the WWE Home Video schedule is in fact “Undertaker: The Last Ride”.
Make that three slots now we’re getting a DVD, a Blu-ray, and a Collector’s Edition!

lovely
does anyone else find it odd that in the wwe schedule for the uk summerslam, payback and undertaker the last ride are the next scheduled dvd realeases but in the usa its summerslam, clash of champions and ruthless agression?
Mark… ah!
Regarding the Undertaker Last Ride collector’s edition: I can not help thinking, that the statement: there are only 666 copies produced – once again, is bs and a “trick” to have ppl pre-order quickly:
The steel book editions of Brock Lesnar, Eric Bischoff, Dudley’s, WrestleMania 32 and 21-1 End of the Streak box are still avaliable..or wwedvd.co.uk appearently are willing to have more editions produced..if there’s enough customers booking the certain items. Which to me does not look like a particulare good business strategy- and spirit.
Could very well also end up with the “RAW 20 box”-treatment, where there was a bluray-version announced and promoted..only to have that pulled before release. Might have been US only, but still a shame..which would be too with this possible mammut release. But.. we’ll see..;-)
While the “new and improved” site looks and works terrible as of writing, one thing that really has improved, is that wwedvd.co.uk now ship to what looks like worldwide.
Dayly deals of course also nice.
I went ahead and ordered the Collector’s Edition Blu-Ray, and am actually a little surprised it’s not sold out yet. It is pretty expensive though.
The five episodes of the Last Ride, along with the bonus ‘Tales From the Road’ show, run just over five hours in total, leaving space for nearly three hours of extras if the Blu’s total about eight hours?
Am guessing we’ll get the WM34 match vs. Cena, the Extreme Rules 2019 match, and this year’s WM match with AJ as extras – but I hope the Crown Jewel 2018 match makes an appearance, as it would be good to have in the collection.
Alternatively, I’d be quite happy if they added the Broken Skull Sessions episode instead. That was nearly 100 minutes by itself and would be preferable to the WM matches. Would also be a good retrospective in lieu of a proper, full-length documentary.
while I wouldn’t want the bluray releases to ever stop (and I can only urge everyone in the UK/Europe who doesn’t want the big 4 blurays to stop to keep ordering them at full price. because obviously it needs to be worth their while financially), this one seems like a good fit to be the last “special release” (like, non-ppv).
“Undertaker: The Last Ride on DVD and Blu-ray, with what looks to be the chance to grab it worldwide!”
“Early information we’ve received suggests the Blu-ray release may be an exclusive to the UK and Europe.”
So is it a UK exclusive Blu-ray, or will it come to the US on that format too? I know that “worldwide” comment could’ve just referenced the DVD being a worldwide release at least. Either way, it should just be on Blu-ray in the US as well. Granted, not that we couldn’t import it and watch it on a region free player, but we also don’t want the aggravation either.
Hey there. It’s quite early to 100% say as this title looks to have been scheduled quite last minute.
At the moment it’s looking like:
DVD – worldwide
Blu-ray – UK/Europe
Collector’s Blu-ray – UK/Europe
As I wrote in the article.
Thinking about it, that does make sense given only WrestleMania gets the Blu-ray treatment now in the home market.
If anything changes though we’ll be sure to post an update.
Oh okay, my bad, I wasn’t sure what it could’ve meant. Thank you for the clarification.
Spoiler alert–The Undertaker is not retired—YET !They just announced they may have him vs. THE FIEND at the ”SURVIVOR SERIES”
Hopefully he actually puts Bray over this time.
“They just announced”. Who’s “they”? Nobody announced that.
Hopefully this set includes Unreleased matches and segments like Undertaker vs. Randy Savage from the 7/30/91 Challenge taping.
If there are bonus matches, I think they’ll focus on his latest run. They may release all the Crown Jewel matches and his Wrestlemania matches. Maybe the Extreme Rules tag match as well.
Sadly I doubt this.
I been waiting years to see this match. I hope that one day it gets released.
This would have been a day 1 buy, but no blu-ray in the US means they lost a sale from me. It’s 2020 and we’re still stuck with DVDs. This would be the equivalent of only being able to get it on VHS in 2010.
Not really, in that by 2010 nobody really had VHS players anymore, so they wouldn’t have been able to play VHS. Even now, BluRay players will play DVDs. So there is a difference there.
I really hope that the blu Ray extras include unreleased matches, outtakes, & off air moments. If the blu Ray extras are matches that we can see on the network it’s not worth buying unless your a diehard taker fan or don’t have the network.
I might buy this, looks interesting. Since I no longer have the WWE Network, I have only seen episode 1.
It’s too bad that it appears that North America is out in the cold in regards to the blu ray. I guess it depends on the extras the blu ray may have on whether or not I import it.
I’m tired of not being able to get in on the Blu Rays. The 2 disc DVD sets are completely uninteresting. DVD’s leave no room for extras. I want matches on the 30th set. I want a complete experience. I want actually 1080p. But no, they are not doing Blu Ray here.
Will the blu-ray be available on amazon uk? Or is it exclusive to the WWE Home Video UK site?
If you’re ordering this from the states, it appears they’re doing overseas shipping. If you want the collector’s edition, right now it’ll cost $111 for it here.
Good to know, as I remember they previously did not ship to the U.S.
WOW, looks like i got my wish !
