5 WWE Superstars whose popular moves were taken away from them

#3 Seth Rollins

Seth Rollins’ popular Curb Stomp finisher was taken away from him after WrestleMania 31 in 2015 due to the negative connotations that are associated with the name of the move.

The Shield member began to use Triple H’s pedigree as an alternative finisher between 2015-2017, while he went on to win matches with the Ripcord Knee from 2017-18. Then, almost three years after it was banned, he suddenly began to use the Curb Stomp (renamed The Stomp) in early 2018.

Discussing the return of his finisher, Rollins told The Wrap in 2019:

“When it came down to it, I just went and asked him [Vince McMahon] 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.”
