Wait nevermind it says it wasnt banned but why would Rollins change it??? That was one of the better finishers IMO.

I bet they are going to give someone else the curb stomp after some time and McMahon doesn't like people doing same thing, so they are basically banning Rollins from doing it.

It is

Why WWE Banned Curb Stomp Finisher & Response To All Of Your Logical Questions - Wrestlezone

On Monday, I helped “curb stomp” trend on Twitter when I was the deliverer of bad news to WWE fans of the move’s banning.

The reason? The move might cause a head injury. With the focus on concussion prevention in sports, WWE is disallowing the move. It stopped showing it in video clips or montages.

The instant response from thousands of WWE fans is, why the curb stomp? A list of other moves are just as dangerous to the head, if not more, but aren’t being banned. This is true, but it’s not relevant to WWE’s logic and reasoning.

This is no reflection on Rollins or his ability to perform the move. This is political, stemming from legal advice.

There is heightened concern regarding head injures. More than a week ago, it became public that past WWE talents were filing lawsuits against the company over head injuries and negligence concerning their health.

Add on little things, such as a wrestler recently dying in the ring in Mexico and Daniel Bryan’s rumored health concerns, and it adds up to WWE having to make a political decision.

Professional wrestling fans know the curb stomp isn’t as risky as other maneuvers. This decision to ban the move isn’t for educated fans who are loyal to the sport. This decision is for anti-WWE critics and potential resources in litigation.

Are they serious with the head injury excuse? Because honestly, the Curb Stomp sucks because it doesn't look realistic. Yes, in real life that would do serious damage. But unless you're like 5, every time the move is done you can easily see the "fakeness" of the move and the precautions they take. Rollins barely makes contact and if his opponent can't sell worth a darn (which happens more than it should), the move looks cheap and unbelievable.

Tag Team Championship - I think there is a lot of talent in the tag team, just not working out good, especially when intercontinental and USA belts are becoming big. It's a good preshow match.

WWE World Heavyweight Championship - The only reason why Rollins-Orton match was even talked about after wrestle mania was the RKO, and now it is "banned". Also, cage matches have kind of worn out - like what else can you do? So, I don't expect this to be all that amazing.

Intercontinental Championship - Personally, I think this match should happen and BNB should win, even if it means the quality of the match suffers. I think BNB will be good with having the belt back, considering he didn't lose it 1-on-1. I am a DB fan, but his neck leaves too big of a question mark.

United States Championship - Same as the 2004 Great American Bash when JBL and Eddie Guerrero had a Texas Bullrope Match. This is a match that will either be really good or not do so well. It is about timing and how creative they are. Can't be too long but has to be more than tug-of-war. Cena and Rusev can pull it off, but wouldn't surprise me if they don't.

Diva's Champion - Probably be 5 minutes long and just like another Raw diva's match.

Last Man Standing Match - I think this could be good if other people get involved in it. I think they can make it a good match, but it could also be 2 big guys not being too creative.

Kiss Me Arse Match - I have always thought "Kiss My..." have always been dumb. However, I think this is a good matchup and could be one of the better matches of the event. Heel Sheamus is on fire and Ziggler will be a good opponent.

Chicago Street Fight - These two guys are crazy. Ambrose is definitely a guy who should be 20 years older and be part of the Attitude Era. I don't think Harper is as creative, but he will take everything Ambrose brings and sell it. I see this being a good minor PPV match.

Tag Match: One of the few matches I'm not 100% sure who will win. New Day as heels slowly starting to grow on me. Hoping they win.

Orton v. Rollins: Rollins wins dirty, the only suspense is how.

IC Belt: If DB truly can't perform and they already know that, they should announce it and make an interesting match for the IC belt like the ladder match at WM with a bunch of guys. If he's going to touch it out, I agree having BNB win would be okay. I'm wondering if the 47 headbutts with Ziggler at WM and RAW might have had anything to do with the concussions.

Cena v Rusev: Cena wins. Could be bloody, but probably relatively boring.

Diva's Match: Sorry, just don't care.

Last Man Standing: Reigns wins. Also struggling to care. No knock on Reigns, who has been improving, but this feud isn't that interesting.

Kiss Me Arse: Second match I'm not 100% sure on the victor. Could be a good one.

Chicago Street Fight: Ambrose needs to win. He has lost too many big matches and to go down to Luke Harper would just about bury him from relevancy.

Tag Championship: I'd like to see New Day go full heel and steal the titles. Have Cesaro and Kid lose the rematch which leads to their split and feud with Cesaro finnaly turning face. Although, that ship has probably sailed they could still make it interesting.

WWE WHC: Rollings will win. I'd like to see New Day (if they go full heel) attack Orton for RKO'ing them on Raw and cost him the title.

IC Belt: Word is DB is out for 4 weeks so I'm not sure what WWE will do here. I'd rather not see some rushed togther CF of a match just to fill air time. WWE already knows DB is out so they have time to come up with something to replace this match.

US Belt: I wonder if given the PG rating we'll see any blood here, where in the past at least one if not both would've bled. I think Lana will get involved and either distract Cena or turn on Rusev. Not sure who will win.

Diva Title Match: Heel vs. Heel??? Double turn could happen with Naomi going bat shit crazy heel and the Bellas turning face BUT will anyone care????????

Last Man Standing: No doubt Reigns wins. Big question is will it be a good match. I doubt it will but it should be an OK match.

Kiss Me Arse: No idea who will win but it is guaran-damn-teed to be a great match with Ziggler involved.

Street Fight: Another guaran-damn-teed good to great match. Who wins depends on whether this fued will continue. Ambrose if this is it and Harper if it will continue.

What sucks with DB is I don't want one of the things that will most likely happen. One is that Daniel Bryan is stripped of the title and they he loses it due to injury, but I don't want the flip side of that either where he does a Lesnar and hold on to it for another month without competition.

I know it is not avoidable if he is injured, but I would like him to lose the belt somehow here he is involved.

I love DB and he is my favorite wrestler in WWE but I think he just needs to hang em up.

Kane will cost Orton the match. They have been teasing a Kane face turn just for it to be a ploy the whole time and he will reassert himself as a heel and will cost Orton the match.

There is a good chance Kane as gatekeeper wont open the door for Orton while Rollins climbs out over the top, but I am pretty sure Kane isnt gonna let either one of them out. He at least wont let Rollins out the first time or two he tries. Trips might come out to ring side and demand that Kane open the door, but to me both Kane and HHH were equally tired of Rollins and might welcome Orton back to the authority easier than letting Rollins keep the title.

I dont think PG is much of an option anymore. The got Brock to bleed, cat see why both Rusev and Cena wont bleed.

.

With Brock I think they made an exception because they were trying to create an epic feel for a WM main event.I'd be surprised if that was anything more than a one time thing

I dont know if you meant bladed with Reigns getting something handed to him, or bled from the match.

I am pretty sure Brock is most probably on blood thinners for the rest of his life from those internal injuries, they prevent clots that are more likely to form after that massive kind of surgery, so I think he bleeds real easily. Most old people take them to prevent strokes, but even a dental procedure needs to be carefully watched if you are on that medication. For Brock to cut himself purposely is nuts.

Bryan got pulled from the card due to his medical issue. WWE didn't announce a replacement match nor did they specify what his injury is.

Looks like they added BNB v. Neville for the preshow, but no word about the IC belt.

Ziggler with a cryptic tweet. Seems he may not be happy. I guess I would be pissed if they let me know I'd have to sniff a dude's sweaty arse later that night.
