The Rock Names Seth Rollins’ Stomp His Favorite WWE Finisher, Recalls Taking It at WrestleMania 40

The Rock has a clear pick when it comes to his favorite finishing move in WWE — and it belongs to Seth Rollins.

In a recent interview with Complex, The Rock was asked which finisher, aside from his own People’s Elbow or Rock Bottom, he’d choose to take down Te Ka from Moana. His answer was quick and direct: the Visionary’s curb stomp.

“I would say Seth Rollins’ stomp. It’s my favorite. I took it at WrestleMania,” Rock said. “I am a glutton for punishment, so I… there’s some finishing moves I loved taking. His is so iconic and I took that. It’s a wild… just a face stomp into the mat. It was cool.”

The moment he’s referencing came at WrestleMania 40 Night One in 2024, where The Rock teamed with Roman Reigns to face Rollins and Cody Rhodes in the main event. During that match, Rollins planted Rock face-first into the canvas with his signature finish. The following night, Rhodes completed his story by defeating Reigns to capture the Undisputed WWE Championship.

Rollins’ curb stomp — officially rebranded the “Stomp” during an earlier WWE ban that has long since been lifted — has earned a reputation as one of the most visually striking finishers in the business, a point The Rock seems to wholeheartedly endorse. High praise from one of the most decorated names in the history of professional wrestling doesn’t come along every day, and for Rollins, this particular endorsement carries a lot of weight.
