5 WWE backstage secrets that Seth Rollins revealed

#3 How the Curb Stomp returned

Shortly after WrestleMania 31, Vince McMahon informed Seth Rollins that he was no longer allowed to use the Curb Stomp due to the negative connotations of the move's name. The Shield member began to use the Pedigree as his new finisher, then the Ripcord Knee, and now he is allowed to use the Curb Stomp again, with the name changed simply to ‘the Stomp’.

Speaking to The Wrap, Rollins revealed that, while the Pedigree and Ripcord Knee worked just fine, he always wanted to bring back the Stomp because it was a move he was synonymous with when he won the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 31.

Regarding Vince's approval process, he explained:

“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.”
