In over 10 years of being on WWE television, Seth Rollins had never finished a bout by using a submission move.
In a first, Seth Rollins forced Rey Mysterio to tap out, using the move made famous by AEW superstar Thunder Rosa, called Peruvian Necktie.
Rollins appeared to have sealed the game after he stomped Rey Mysterio. However, instead of going for the pin, he locked him in the Peruvian Necktie and forced him to submit.

This was done primarily to send a strong message to Matt Riddle before their Pit Fight match to be held in a few weeks.
The last time Rollins got a victory via submission was three years ago. He and Becky Lynch crushed Mike and Maria Kanellis on Raw in July 2019.
But it was his better half Becky Lynch who had applied the submission hold Dis-Arm-Her on Mike Kanellis for the victory.
Rollins himself has been a victim of several submission moves throughout his long career. He has tapped out to superstars like Edge, John Cena and Samoa Joe.
Matt Riddle and Seth Rollins will compete in just the third Fight Pit match in WWE so far, at the Extreme Rules on October 8.
The match was scheduled last week after the bitter opponents cost each other their matches, which resulted a fight in the behind the scenes.

Matt Riddle and Seth Rollins to compete in Fight Pit Battle
Matt Riddle and Seth Rollins will compete in just the third Fight Pit match in WWE so far, at the Extreme Rules on October 8.
The match was scheduled last week after the bitter opponents cost each other their matches, which resulted a fight in the behind the scenes.
With Fight Pit rules taking into consideration win by technical knockout or submission, fans may get to see a never seen before version of Seth Rollins at the event.
Seth Rollins would be compelled to control his typical high-flying style. The Fight Pit structure excludes ropes or turnbuckles; the mat is rather encircled by steel.
Riddle with his MMA experience is the front-runner heading into the match, although Rollins crushed Riddle at the clash at the castle.
