In response to the WWE 2K15 videogame being rated “T For Teens” by the Entertainment Software Rating Board, the company released the following explanation regarding the game rating.

“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 sequencs 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 alcoholo (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”), while the word a** also appears in dialogue.”
