According to WWE sources, the company will be banning Seth Rollins from using the curb stomp finishing move.

WWE?s feeling about the move, which the WWE World Heavyweight Champion uses as his finisher, is that it?s too much of a direct liability and risk for a head injury. All of sports is trying to be more proactive when it comes to preventing head injuries and concussions, and this is the reason for WWE banning the curb stomp.

WWE reportedly doesn?t want its top star to be doing that move every night and they also don?t want to be showing it in past clips or videos anymore. This is why last week on RAW when Rollins came out, the video which played during his entrance was primarily just graphics of his name. The normal entrance video for Rollins features a compilation of clips, several of which are him performing the curb stomp.

Regarding rumors of WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins having his Curb Stomp finisher banned by the company, the move has not been banned but Rollins will be using the new DDT-facebuster type move he used on RAW to defeat Dolph Ziggler as his finisher.

Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter described Rollins using a new move as a "semantic situation" and said WWE does not want to draw attention to the Curb Stomp no longer being used, but it is not banned.

UPDATE: Well this should be fun. PWInsider has a different take on the story of Seth Rollins phasing out the Curb Stomp. The site reports that WWE management did not ban the curb stomp and instead gave him the new DDT/facebuster-style finisher as a move that can be “used on anyone, anywhere” the way that the RKO can be.

So are we going to forget that Randy Orton's greatest RKO in history never happened or...?

Also in an era where unique finishers have gone out of the fucking window, you choose the one finisher that is quite possibly going to be looked at for years as Seth Rollins's finisher.

God I hope this is a joke.

I don't really mind the move being banned but WWE's habit of banning past clips is fucking ridiculous. Like anyone would forget what his finisher used to be.. or the possible head traumas the move caused are somehow reversed by that.

I don't even think Seth Rollins has ever legitimately hurt ANYONE with that finisher.

The Pedigree is a hell of a lot more harder on a person's neck and head since a real fuck up CAN kill someone lol

Has Rollins ever concussed anybody with that move? Don't think so.

This company is so anti-pro wrestling at this point that I'm done. I just wish they weren't holding up guys like Seth Rollins and Neville so I could watch them in NJPW or the indies.

I hope WWE eventually goes back to Vince's big man fetish so they won't be preventing all of these great talents from wrestling somewhere else.

Are you kidding me? I hope this is kayfabe they are talking about, like evening the odds with Orton not being able to use his RKO. If this is real, then expect Rollins to get a shitty DDT finisher or some other lame "safe" move they give everyone.
