However, he often uses it in the middle of his matches, and it can be called his signature maneuver. Despite retiring Pedigree as his finishing move, it is still one of the most used moves of him.
#7 Frog Splash
Seth Rollins is a hard-hitter, but he is also an underrated high-flyer. He doesn’t shy away from hitting impressive high-flying moves to his opponents whenever he gets an opportunity. Frog Splash is an outstanding move by Seth Rollins, not just visually but also in terms of physicality. He executes Frog Splash if his opponent lies outside the ring or inside the ring. Rollins does the move from the top rope and launches himself on his opponent. The legendary Eddie Guerrero helped to popularize Frog Splash.

But in modern-day wrestling, the move has made transition into a regular one, with a number of wrestlers using it frequently. If executed properly, Superkick does look devastating.

#5 Sling Blade
When the opponent is running towards you while fighting in the ring, Sling Blade is an effective move to slow them down. While Seth or nobody uses Sling Blade as the finishing move, it’s an aesthetic move, which looks effective and easy to execute. Besides Seth Rollins, a lot of other wrestlers have Slingblade in their movesets. Rollins executes the move in the middle of a match or at the beginning of it.
#4 Superplex & Falcon Arrow
Combining two highly impactful moves can be tricky, and an individual wrestler requires an extremely high level of athleticism to execute things perfectly. One of the aesthetic move of him is a combination of Superplex and Falcon Arrow, which looks picturesque in the middle of his matches. First, Rollins performs Superplex from the top rope of the top turnbuckle, meaning he delivers a neck Suplex to his opponent from the top rope. He doesn’t stop there. Following the Superplex, he picks up his opponent again to execute a Falcon Arrow, making it a super move.
#3 Buckle Bomb
Seth Rollins shows his athleticism and quickness in the squared circle repeatedly, but his impressive strength can be witnessed with the Buckle Bomb. The Visionary oftentimes uses this move before executing his finishing move. Rollins would pick up his opponent on his shoulder, which showcases his power and it is underrated. Then he would throw the opponent against the turnbuckle, with the latter’s back hitting the turnbuckle. He also does the move outside the ring. When Finn Balor injured his arm against Seth Rollins at SummerSlam 2016, it was the Buckle Bomb responsible for the damage.
#2 Suicide Dive
Suicide Dive is a move that is performed by many wrestlers, notably high flyers in the ring. As the name says, it is a dive outside the ring, and the dive is done over the top rope. A wrestler runs at full speed and dives over the top rope to land outside the ring on his opponent or opponents. Again, Suicide Dive, the high-flying move shows why it is one of the aesthetic and impactful Seth Rollins moves in his arsenal. Whenever Rollins does this move, the crowd gets behind him, and he manages to take down his opponents outside the ring.
#1 Stomp
Stomp is the finishing move of Seth Rollins, meaning he uses it to finish a match. At the beginning of his singles career, Seth Rollins used Curb Stomp, which looks deadly. Later, he modified the move to be called only Stomp. Now, he ends every match with his brutal stomps. Seth Rollins has won many big matches with stomps, including the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 31. He puts his opponent’s head in a vulnerable position on the mad. Seeing the opportunity, he runs and stomps the heads of his opponents hard on the mad before attempting to pin them.
