WHICH NXT TALENTS ARE SET FOR RAW, HULK HOGAN ON SET OF NEW WWE FILM, HURRICANE IN STAMFORD, KENTA'S IN-RING WWE DEBUT & MORE NEWS

After tonight's Raw taping in Lafayette, LA, WWE will film Smackdown and Biloxi, MS.

NXT champion Adrian Neville, The Ascension, Tyler Breeze and Sami Zayn have all been brought to Raw and Smackdown this week.

Hulk Hogan is slated to film his scenes for the WWE Studios film "Celebrity Death Pool" today. The film stars Ken Keong. Jon Lovitz and David Hasselhoff also have roles in the film, which is described to me as probably being the most "R" rated film produced thus far by WWE Studios.

Shane "Hurricane" Helms was at WWE HQ in Stamford, CT on Friday, filming material for the WWE Network.

"Guardians of the Galaxy" featuring Dave Bautista in one of the leading roles, officially crossed $600 million worldwide over the weekend. I have heard Disney is already strategizing how they can bring the characters into their theme parks.

WWE is packaging a number of "Slam City" episodes into a 30 minute window to run on the WWE Network.

Scheduled for this Thursday's episode of WWE NXT on the WWE Network:

*NXT Women's champion Charlotte vs. Emma.
*Hideo Itami (the former KENTA) vs. Justin Gabriel.
*Baron Corbin vs. CJ Parker.
*Titus O'Neil and Tyson Kidd vs. WWE NXT champion Adrian Neville and Sami Zayn.

"I don't believe we've ever heard an interview that takes one through the process of a WWE Hall Of Fame induction from the moment of being informed to the moment of stepping back through the curtain on Wrestlemania weekend; this interview should be something to catch the attention of every wrestling fan and historian," said host Mike Roycroft, a local play-by-play commentator and ring announcer for independent promotions in the area.
