Seth Rollins Talks Curb Stomp Being "Perceptually Violent," WWE In NJ, Samoa Joe, Battleground Sale

- WWE world heavyweight champion Seth Rollins appeared on the latest edition of "The Buzz with Jimmy Traina" to promote Sunday's WWE Battleground pay-per-view. During the interview, Rollins was asked about why he no longer uses the Curb Stomp as his finisher.

"It was a decision that was collectively made from a PR standpoint," Rollins said. "Curb stomp just seemed like it was too perceptually violent, I guess you would say. I never hurt anyone with it. It was just something we didn't want kids trying on each other."
