10 Best Finishing Moves In WWE Today
10. Helluva Kick (Sami Zayn)
More often than not, Sami Zayn delivers the Helluva Kick when an opponent stands vulnerable in the corner. The beauty of the move comes in how rapidly Zayn executes it, and that sudden rush of excitement is only aided by the fact that announcers treat the boot like a big deal.
As the Helluva Kick is a simple boot to the head or face, it can be performed elsewhere too. Occasionally, Zayn has planted it on the outside of the ring, which leads to the threat of his foe being counted out. Also, he can use it to interrupt other moves, giving the kick a match-saving quality.
The big boot is a common practice in WWE, but few sprint at full speed towards another wrestler before using it. It's more usual for a larger man (like Kane or The Undertaker) to let a rival run into their foot.
Zayn's delivery is key here, he has managed to turn a fundamental strike into a move that comes with genuine anticipation that it just might end the match.
