WWE fans have long known Seth Rollins as the cocky and unpredictable “Beastslayer,” but few are aware of the intricate details behind his rise to the top of the WWE roster. In an exclusive interview, Rollins revealed the inside story behind how he acquired the Pedigree, one of the most iconic finishers in WWE history, after his own Curb Stomp was banned by Vince McMahon in 2015.
The Birth of a New Finisher
Rollins’ Curb Stomp was a staple of his in-ring arsenal for years, but its demise came unexpectedly in 2015 when Vince McMahon deemed it too violent for WWE television. This setback presented a significant challenge for Rollins, who had grown accustomed to ending matches with a devastating Curb Stomp. However, with the Pedigree already an integral part of his on-screen mentor, Triple H’s, arsenal, Rollins saw an opportunity to adapt and learn from his mentor.
“I was a bit apprehensive at first,” Rollins admitted in an interview. “I had grown to love the Curb Stomp, and I wasn’t sure how to replicate its impact without it. But working closely with Triple H, I realized that the Pedigree was more than just a finisher – it was a symbol of power and authority in the WWE.”
The Path to Pedigree Mastery
According to a WWE insider, Rollins spent countless hours in the ring with Triple H, honing his technique and learning the intricacies of the Pedigree. This intense period of training paid off, as Rollins began to seamlessly integrate the Pedigree into his matches.
“Rollins has always been a quick learner,” the insider revealed. “He threw himself into the process of mastering the Pedigree, and his dedication paid off. It wasn’t long before he was using the Pedigree with confidence and precision, and it’s become an integral part of his character.”
A New Era for Rollins
The acquisition of the Pedigree marked a turning point in Rollins’ career, as he began to transition from a high-flying, hard-hitting wrestler to a more methodical and calculated competitor. This new approach paid dividends, as Rollins went on to enjoy a successful run as WWE Champion and a member of The Authority.
“Working with Triple H has been a game-changer for me,” Rollins said, reflecting on his time under the mentorship of his on-screen mentor. “He’s taught me so much about the business, and I’ve learned to appreciate the art of storytelling and character development. The Pedigree has become an extension of my character, and it’s allowed me to tap into a new level of intensity and authority in the ring.”
A Legacy in the Making
As Rollins continues to write his own chapter in WWE history, it’s clear that his journey to master the Pedigree has been a defining moment in his career. With a newfound sense of purpose and authority in the ring, Rollins is poised to take his place among the all-time greats in WWE.
“Rollins is a true leader and a master of his craft,” said a source close to Cody Rhodes. “He’s got the talent, charisma, and work ethic to succeed at the highest level, and his acquisition of the Pedigree has been a key factor in his success. We’re excited to see what the future holds for ‘The Beastslayer’.”
With the Pedigree firmly in his arsenal, Seth Rollins is ready to unleash his full fury on the WWE universe. Will he continue to dominate the top of the card, or will a new challenger emerge to threaten his reign? One thing is certain – with the Pedigree at his disposal, Rollins is poised to leave an indelible mark on WWE history.
