UPDATE: WWE May Not Have Banned The Curb Stomp After All

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.

ORIGINAL: It was previously reported that Seth Rollins’ finishing move, the Curb Stomp, has been banned by WWE. On last night’s episode of RAW, Rollins debut a DDT variant to win his match with Dolph Ziggler. Now a new report suggests that the curb stomp wasn’t banned after all.

WWE reportedly made Rollins change the move due to safety issues. They believe that there is more that can go wrong with a move than not and they wanted to prevent possible problems in the future. However, they haven’t banned the move. Dave Meltzer suggested that the new move is considered a “semantic situation.” WWE doesn’t want to bring attention to the fact that they changed the move, but it’s not banned.

The report suggests that the curb stomp will join the piledriver. It won’t appear often on WWE TV but can still be used for special occasions. It’s unknown what move WWE will settle on to be Rollins’ official finisher, but it won’t be the curb stomp.
