– Regarding the “Curb Stomp” finishing move used by WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins, it appears that it is not completely banned. The word going around within WWE is that the move is “on hold” until WWE’s concussion lawsuits are gone, or are no longer an active threat.
As noted earlier, WWE censored the curb stomp on the Roman Reigns WWE 24 special, cutting away to a crowd shot when replaying the final moments of the WrestleMania 31 main event.
– Not only does WWE’s new deal with apparel company Tapout more than just a sponsorship commitment, we have learned that WWE has actually purchased an equity stake in the company. We should have some more specific details on this story later this week.
– Below are some recent WWE attendance figures:
April 30th in Lakeland, FL for NXT drew 225 fans
