WWE Ending Home Video Series After 36 Years of Distribution

All good things must come to an end. WWE announced today via social media that it is planning to end its Home Video Series after 36 years of distribution.

You can read the announcement below:

With great sadness, we must announce that WWE has taken the decision to withdraw from the Home Video category. No licensing deals will be renewed after 2023.

This means the very last WWE Home Video release from Fremantle will be CROWN JEWEL 2023 (2 disc-DVD) on 18th December (UK) and 22nd December (GER).

WWE Home Video has been releasing VHS, DVD, and Blu-Ray for 36 years, the last 11 through Fremantle in Europe, but this will come to an end on 31st December with no further WWE DVD or Blu-Ray stock manufactured.

Everyone at WWE Home Video UK would like to thank all of our collectors and fans for their many years of support and passion.

Editor’s Opinion:

Honestly, I’m surprised that they were still releasing hard copies of premium live events! This isn’t surprising, however, as the world is moving to a more digital and streaming age. That being said, most of the pay-per-view views that I watched, growing up, were via these tapes, and it is a bit sad to see such a pivotal part of my childhood come to its conclusion!
