This is the first look at one of this years new OMG moments, of which there have been 7 added in total. The new OMG Moments include the boot to the face against the ring post, the DDT on the apron, Ryback's double Shellshock that was shown in the original trailer, a 2 man Attitude Adjustment and a double chokeslam. The 2 additional OMG Moments will be revealed at a later date.

Aside from the screenshots, multiple sites that attended yesterday's press conference have began posting details on the game and the changes it has over last year, so here's the lowdown of what's been revealed about the game:

Match Pacing

First up we have match pacing, with the pace of strike moves now being increased and allowing for better looking combos, whilst also making reversals harder to time, with these strikes now causing less damage.

Reversals

The reversal system has been updated and now sees moves reversed into different moves instead of just having a standard reversal animation which is said to look much better and feel more realistic.

Comebacks

The comeback system has been updated and is now said to tie in the actual signature and finisher of a wrestler, so that would appear that the signature and finisher are now part of the comeback itself instead of leaving you with a stored signature after completing a comeback.

Catapult Finishers

As shown in the original trailer when Shawn Michaels catapulted Randy Savage into the air to hit Sweet Chin Music, catapult finishers are now included in the game and everyone that had a catching finisher in last years game will have a catapult option this year, with The Rock also having a catapult option, presumably for the Samoan drop.

This new option should especially come in handy when playing against people who use a lot of running moves as you'll be able hit these catapult finishers whenever they run at you.

Speaking of running, it was also pointed out that the running animations have been updated and wrestlers no longer break straight into a sprint, with other small changes also being included which see wrestlers reacting to their opponent during matches, performing mini-taunts or fiddling with their wrist tape.

They could either indicate GM Mode or John Laurinatis is in or a Default Sign.

I believe the one of the two other omg moments is the aerial catch Rock Bottom type omg like when The Rock caught CM Punk when he did a springboard @ Elimination Chamber

Sounds like good info, maybe we'll keep getting more updates as the release closes in

Does it really take that long to script an OMG moment, a comeback moment, or a catching finisher? And for balance, shouldn't everyone have one of the latter ones? It's a shame only part of the roster gets these updated moveset features.

Also willing to bet Warrior's comeback move is the same one featured at 7:24 of this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gp96njX01vE. In fact, I bet on any duplicates from LOWM having their same finishing sequences, touted as a "new" feature in the Smackdown series, when in fact it's just repackaging an old idea. And what's more, EVERY LOWM character had them.
