With 2016 winding down, World Wrestling Entertainment is already looking towards the new year with fun and exclusive programming on the WWE Network. Until the day comes where Monday Night Raw and SmackDown Live join the Network, the WWE Universe will have to catch the promotion’s flagship weekly series either on the USA Network or on Hulu. For those who don’t get the Network, USA, or Hulu and want a Cliff’s Notes version of what happened on WWE TV in 2016, well get ready because The Best of Raw and SmackDown 2016 will drop in February, and it will be a three-DVD set filled with 27 memorable matches and moments, including Daniel Bryan’s retirement, the re-introduction of the brand split and WWE Draft, plus Goldberg’s return.
Check out the breakdown of the contents below, courtesy of our friends at Wrestling DVD Network.
