8 banned moves we would love to see back in WWE

Rollins Curb Stomps Ryback out of the company

#2 The Curb Stomp

Goodnight Big Show, thanks for coming

WWE has made itself something of a bed of thorns with this move. It was the finishing move of Seth Rollins, all the way up until he won his first WWE World Championship at WrestleMania 31 before it was banned by management, leaving Rollins to use the Pedigree instead.

People may scoff at Rollins using the Pedigree, but those people would be well served by remembering that terrible fallaway DDT Rollins used in the interim.

Rollins is going to be a huge star for years to come, but video packages are always going to be hampered, by the fact that they can’t show the move that won him his first WWE World Championship. The move was banned for good reasons, as those in charge felt it was too easy to replicate and thus could cause tragic situations on the playground.

But if this had been the problem all along, it was immensely naive of WWE to allow Rollins to use it in in the first place.

The Curb Stomp needs to return, as only by using it, will Rollins be free of the shadow of Triple H and The Authority. That is the logical way for that story to end; Rollins pinning Hunter after hitting him with the move that has been M.I.A for over a year now.
