Bad news for those who hate to see content go from the WWE Network. Three more collections have been removed.. sort of. If you check out the Collections section, you’ll see three sets are no longer available bringing the total down to just forty eight (forty seven categories, with two collections inside the McMahon and Austin themed playlist). These include the Cruiserweight Anthology, Gravest Matches Ever, and Randy Orton: Apex Predator. Technically, the majority, if not all of the segments are still available via direct link or search, but that has often been the case in the past prior to being removed or made unavailable altogether.

The issue many will have with this is at least three matches removed are not available elsewhere on the WWE Network. This includes a match from Shotgun Saturday Night, Velocity, and a rare Tiger Mask match. Supposing the removal of these collections were intentional, some may argue it is for the sake of organization or due to low views, but neither excuse would likely work for the majority who’d be upset by this decision.

The one potential positive on this story is that in the past the Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan themed collections disappeared temporarily before making a return. So with the holidays there is at least a chance this was a glitch in the system or a mistake. However, history hasn’t been kind in this regard and collections have begun to be more frequently removed.
