5 Interesting backstage stories about Seth Rollins you need to know

#3 The return of Seth Rollins' finisher: The Curb Stomp

During his initial days with The Shield and shortly after his heel turn in 2014, Seth Rollins had become quite popular among fans for various reasons. While his unique blonde streak in his hairs was one reason, another one was his finisher - the Curb Stomp.

While he famously used this move initially to win several matches, shortly after WrestleMania 31, Vince McMahon informed him to stop using the move due to the risks involved if the fans at home tried replicating it as it had the potential to be quite deadly.

Thus, Seth Rollins began using the Pedigree and the Ripcord Knee as his finishers for the next few years. It was during an episode of RAW in January 2018 that the Kingslayer surprisingly brought back the Curb Stomp and hit it on Finn Balor, much to the shock of everyone watching. WWE changed its name to just "The Stomp" and Seth Rollins continues to use it as his finisher to this day.

During an interview with The Wrap, Rollins revealed how exactly did the move come back and how did he convince Mr. McMahon for the same.

“When it came down to it, I just went and asked him [Vince] a few years later. I said, 'Hey look, I want to do this. Give me reasons not to and I will tell you why you’re wrong and hopefully, we can meet in the middle.' He was on my side, I caught him on a good day. Luckily it’s back and hopefully, it’s not going anywhere.”
