Seth Rollins reveals why he temporarily stopped using his finishing move - The Stomp

In the recent episode of FOX’s The Story Of, former WWE Universal Champion Seth Rollins can be seen revealing that he stopped using The Stomp as his finisher because WWE Chairman Vince McMahon found it vicious. The Stomp, which is a copy of Japanese wrestling legend Naomichi Marufuji’s special move, was loved by fans. However, when Seth Rollins became the Universal Champion, Vince McMahon told him to stop using it. McMahon said that it was because he never wanted his champion to use a “vicious” move.

“Our boss, Vince McMahon, saw the highlight package of the event and he thought that the move actually looked too vicious for his champion, for the guy representing WWE,” said Seth Rollins.
