Seth Rollins’ banned finisher included in WWE 2K16?

So let me get this right. A few months back Seth Rollins was told that his finishing manoeuvre, The Curb Stomp, was going to be banned for the foreseeable future. Then, WWE started to filter out the previous occasions in which Rollins had used the move on the WWE Network.

WWE were facing quite a substantial amount of law suits at the time that the move was banned, and the company seemingly were keen to erase the move from our memory – hence Rollins picking up Triple H's Pedigree as a finisher.

But now, some content that WWE 2K16 Dev uploaded on their YouTube account suggests that the move will be included in the game. So much for removing it from history, huh.

The video and exact screenshot in which the banned Curb Stomp move is clearly visible can be found below:

And here it is, the same Curb Stomp maneuver that won Seth Rollins the WWE World Heavyweight Championship to begin with.

Aside from the controversy surrounding the Curb Stomp, the interaction between the commentators is definitely worth a mention. During this match, between Sting and Rollins, we noticed that Jerry Lawler and Michael Cole were seriously outweighing JBL, in terms of interaction and reaction.

Of late JBL has certainly come out of his shell, mostly in favour of the heel characters albeit, and usually seems pretty loud on commentary. During this video the game doesn't seem to portray that commentary style as well as expected.

On the other hand, we must stress that the game is still in development and things could change before its release, but it is certainly something to think about.
