“Yeah, he banned it. I’d been doing it for years. This is what I think happened – and I don’t have confirmation – he watched The Today Show piece, he sees the Stomp, he sees people referring to the Curb Stomp, somebody in his inner circle said, ‘Hmm, Vince I don’t know about that move, I think it might be a little too dangerous, there might be a connotation to it,” he said.

The former champion added that he asked Vince McMahon if he could use the Pedigree and thought the former CEO agreed to it to spite Triple H.

“So I was like, ‘Here’s what I’ll do – I’ll ask Vince about it, and then I know Vince will say yes, just to spite Triple H, and Triple H can’t say nothing about it.’ It was a good idea anyway. I was a bad guy, Hunter was my mentor, I was his protege, he wasn’t wrestling, it was a good way to carry on a legacy of the move,” added Seth Rollins. [H/T: WrestleTalk]

Seth Rollins discusses his fake WWE injury

Seth Rollins commented on pretending to be injured in WWE last year and noted that he has changed his stance on karma.

Rollins pretended to be injured last year to cash in his Money in the Bank contract on CM Punk at SummerSlam 2025. However, he went on to suffer a legitimate injury later in the year, and it ended his reign as World Heavyweight Champion.

Speaking on The Sal Licata Show, Rollins suggested that he would likely never fake an injury again and admitted that he was starting to believe in karma.

“I’m not really a karma guy. Maybe I should be now after I get hurt, and my WrestleMania run gets cut short a little bit and my title reign and all that. So, maybe I’ll think twice about it. But at the time, I was just having a good time and business is business. So it was fun. I’m glad we did it, but hopefully, I don’t have to do it again,” Rollins said.

Only time will tell when Seth Rollins will be able to return to WWE television.
