WWE TV TAPINGS THIS WEEK, FIRST LOOK AT WWE 2K15 GAMEPLAY, NXT AND MORE NEWS

As noted earlier today, WWE will broadcast Raw in Memphis, TN. Tomorrow, they will tape Smackdown and Main Event in Little Rock, Arkansas. If anyone is attending either event, we are seeking live spoiler reports - thanks!

The official "gameplay" trailer for the WWE 2K15 videogame was released today:

The first-ever Rusev action figure will be released as part of Mattel's WWE Series 43 action figure line. Also featured in that series will be Alicia Fox, Brock Lesnar, Christian, Kane, and Cesaro. For all your action figure needs, visit www.RingsideCollectibles.com.

The game has been rated "T for Teens" by the Entertainment Software Rating Board. The official breakdown for the game's rating read, "This is a wrestling simulation game in which players can select real-world competitors from the WWE roster, compete in matches, and progress through multiple storylines. Players can perform a variety of wrestling moves (e.g., holds, grapples, throws) as well as punch and kick opponents. Some matches allow players to use chairs, tables, and sledgehammers to strike opponents. Blood sometimes appears on wrestlers' faces after being struck by these objects; video sequences also depict blood on wrestlers' faces. Female wrestlers are depicted with exaggerated-size breasts or in outfits that expose large amounts of cleavage; some women also make provocative gestures/taunting moves (e.g., pelvic thrusts, shaking buttocks in an opponent's face). During the course of the game, video footage depicts two characters smoking cigars; fan signs and dialogue sometimes references alcohol (e.g., “Beer Me”; “Stone Cold loves two things in life—stompin' mudholes and celebrating with cold beer;” “I don't think he's coming down to share a beer with anybody.”). The word “a*s” appears in dialogue."

After running Nashville last night for the Night of Champions PPV, they will broadcast a Raw on Monday 2/23/15.

The former Baltimore Arena, which has hosted a number of PPVs and even a WWF title change (Superstar Graham beating Bruno Sammartino) has undergone a name change and is now known as The Royal Farms Arena. Thanks to Michael Carpenter!

Set for this week's episode of WWE NXT on The WWE Network:

*Bull Dempsey vs. Mojo Rawley in a NXT Takeover rematch.
*Tyler Breeze vs. Justin Gabriel.
*Bayley vs. Alexa Bliss.
*Enzo Amore vs. Marcus Louis.
*NXT Tag Team champions The Lucha Dragons vs. The Ascension.
