Content from the World Wrestling Federation's "Attitude Era" (1998–2002), however, had to be edited due to the lawsuit that caused the WWF to become WWE.
[6] On November 19, 2014, WWE entered into a distribution partnership with Warner Home Video for North America.
[7] The deal also saw DVD releases coming from the defunct World Championship Wrestling (WCW), which was previously owned by Time Warner and sold to WWE in 2001.
One popular line from Silver Vision was the UK-exclusive WWE Tagged Classics DVD series, which did not have any edits or censoring of the WWF initials.
On 19 November 2012, it was announced that FremantleMedia (now Fremantle) would be the new WWE Home Video distributor for the United Kingdom and the rest of Europe,[8] releasing all future WWE DVD, Blu-ray, and digital-file-based releases in Europe, replacing Silver Vision.
Their official UK website[9] launched in January 2013 along with their initial releases - Night Of Champions 2012, Hell In A Cell 2012, Top 100 RAW Moments and The Attitude Era, all of which were issued on DVD and Blu-ray.
On December 5, 2023, Fremantle announced that they would not renew their British and German contract with WWE to continue releasing physical content.
[13] On December 31, 2023, they posted an announcement to their X (formerly known as Twitter) account that reads:[14] Today the story of WWE Home Video comes to an end.
Some content (primarily pay-per-views) were also available on Video CD format through certain licensors in some developing markets.
