Upcoming WWE DVD set features post-Raw dark matches

A first chance for television viewers to see how WWE sends fans home happy on Monday nights. Is this a sign of things to come now that they have a 24/7 streaming WWE Network to program?

As all pay-per-view (PPV) / special events from WWE's recent past are available on WWE Network, and more and more features as added, many have wondered what the DVD releases would look like from the McMahon family empire moving forward.

Scheduled to be released next Tuesday, April 22nd (and now available for pre-order on WWE Shop), The Best of Raw: After the Show is a look at one type of content we might start getting in the Age of the Network.

The three-disc set looks at a variety of the "dark" matches and interviews that WWE puts on after the cameras stop rolling on Raw each Monday night at approximately 11PM Eastern. Ranging from spontaneous tag matches to improv comedy, this will be the first time fans get to see these segments - outside of shaky cell phone footage on YouTube.

Here's a listing of the content from the last fifteen years that is featured on the set:
