One of the biggest talking points coming out of Seth's match against Sting back at Night of Champions 2015 was the fact that many believed that the bucklebomb was the move that ended his career.

Sting himself was able to confirm this, but interestingly it wasn't the second bucklebomb that did all of the damage. Much earlier in the match, Rollins delivered an initial version of the move and Sting collapsed to the floor so that Rollins could attempt a pin. The Vigilante then went on to explain that following this move he couldn't feel his fingertips and his hands were actually burning.

He told the referee John Cone but later confirmed that he was OK to continue the match. The rest of the match was going well until the second bucklebomb, it was at this point that he went weak from the waist down and then collapsed when the champion went for a clothesline.

Sting was then attended to for a while whilst Seth recalled that he felt completely helpless, but Sting still finished the match before being taken to a local medical facility.
