Rob Van Dam did a chat on Periscope last week and said he took Seth Rollins’ since-retired Curb Stomp finisher better than anyone else.
RVD referenced a RAW match from summer 2014 where Rollins defeated him with the move. Rollins later told RVD that WWE was on the verge of banning the move, but RVD took it so well they were able to convince WWE officials to keep it around longer.
WWE ended up pulling the move this past spring after WrestleMania 31 when Rollins won the WWE World Heavyweight Title. It was reported by The Wrestling Observer Newsletter that the move was said to be “on hold” until WWE’s concussion lawsuits are gone or no longer a threat.
Rollins told fans at a Q&A in May that he was no longer using the move and that the Pedigree would be his main finisher going forward.
