Jon Moxley made a reference to the current WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Seth Rollins recently. Last Saturday on Collision, Moxley teamed with Daniel Garcia and Claudio Castagnoli for a trios match against the team of Roderick Strong, Kyle O'Reilly, and Daddy Magic. It was a fine trios bout with some brutal spots.

The ending sequence of the match featured a running stomp to Daddy Magic by Moxley before Daniel Garcia pinned him for the win. The stomp was similar to Seth Rollins' finisher. Moxley uses the stomp in his matches to potentially pay homage to his former Shield brother, Rollins.
