While Seth Rollins is preparing to take on Brock Lesnar, in probably the biggest challenge of his life, the Curb Stomp might be the biggest weapon in The Architect's arsenal. Even though Rollins has used various finishers in his matches - from Pedigree to "The Knee", the Curb Stomp is the one move that always made him relevant. Rollins has perfected the move, and the innovations he uses to pull off the move is a thing of beauty.

The Curb Stomp is one of the most protected moves in WWE. After all, once Rollins hit the stomp on his opponent, it is almost sure that the match is coming to a close. Only a handful of WWE Superstars have kicked out of the Curb Stomp. In this list, we will take a look at the four WWE Superstars who managed to kick out of the Curb Stomp.


#4 John Cena - Royal Rumble 2015

One of Seth Rollins' best matches in WWE came in the form of a triple threat between John Cena, Brock Lesnar, and Rollins for WWE World Heavyweight Championship at Royal Rumble 2015. Cena earned the opportunity to challenge Lesnar for the title after winning a Hell in a Cell match against Randy Orton. However, since Rollins was the Authority's golden boy, he got a direct entry to the match.

With a lot of close finishers and high spots, the clash between three classes of wrestlers was impressive, to say the least. In order to subdue the beast, Rollins and Cena worked together for a while. Once they took care of him, it was between the Cenation leader and the Architect. Rollins connected the Curb Stomp on Cena, and while he was pinning, Cena kicked out of the Curb Stomp.
