Seth Rollins Recalls Lobbying Vince McMahon To Bring Back The Stomp
Seth Rollins was unable to use his signature move for a while
Mar 8, 2023
For a time, Seth Rollins was unable to use his signature finishing move, the Stomp. In the interim, he used various different moves to finish his opponents, including the Pedigree. However, after a few years of not being able to use it, Rollins was finally able to bring it back.
Before he could, he needed to have a conversation with Vince McMahon first.
During an interview with Fightful's Sean Ross Sapp, The Architect outlined the process of losing and regaining his signature move, saying:
"I lost it the day after I won the title at WrestleMania. I had a conversation with Vince, he said, 'No more'. I said, 'Ah! But!'. He said, 'Nope. That's the end of it'. Years later, I finished the story with Triple H, which was the Pedigree that was majorly involved in that, and it just felt like a time to get a new finish. I can go back to the old one and it just took a conversation and me trying to explain it to him in a way that he could understand. Time heals all wounds. So, whatever had wounded him, he was over it. So, he said, 'Alright, bring it back', and here we are".
Rollins will look to hit the Stomp on Logan Paul when the two meet on night one of WrestleMania 39.
