#4 Seth Rollins

From 2015-2018, Vince McMahon banned Seth Rollins from using the Curb Stomp due to the negative connotations that are associated with the name of the move.

As Rollins was aligned with Triple H and The Authority at the time, he used the Pedigree as his main finisher from 2015-2017 before switching to the Ripcord Knee shortly after he defeated HHH at WrestleMania 33.

The move was instantly compared to Kenny Omega’s Rain Trigger, prompting this response from Omega on Twitter:

"Well, at least I still have my entrance music...
"To clarify,I'm not upset.The thievery of late is blatant/funny but anyone is free to put their own spin on stuff.I'll be out doing the same"

Despite the “thievery”, the two men appear to be on good terms, as Rollins mentioned in 2018 that his dream opponent outside of WWE would be Omega. The likelihood of that match happening is slim, especially now that Omega has become an executive vice-president with AEW, but who knows what the future might hold!
