10 Most Protected WWE Finishing Moves Ever

10. K.O.D. - Bianca Belair

Bianca Belair's Kiss of Death is as much a Burning Hammer as John Cena's STF is an STF.

The essence of the Kenta Kobashi-influenced super-finisher is there; Belair hoists an opponent across her shoulders in an Argentine position, flips them over, and sits down, slamming them chest-first into the mat. The Burning Hammer, meanwhile, had Kobashi drilling the victim's NECK into the mat like some sick, twisted, body convulsion pervert. Bianca Belair's K.O.D. has none of this bloodthirsty impact.

That said, it is a beauty - and a protected beauty at that.

Belair has perfected the move to such a degree that its impact gets tighter, louder, and more poignant with each execution. She can perform it on an array of talent, too, being able to successfully pull the move off on slender, smaller talents such as Asuka and big bruisers like Piper Niven. Each has been put away with the K.O.D., the move acting to benefit Bianca's 400+-day stint as Raw Women's Champion.

The move stands out, too, because it's different. The main roster women's division is awash with primarily submission-based grapplers at the forefront. It desperately needed that one impressive and impactful slam-based match-ender, and Belair provided just that on such a grandiose level. Should it be kicked out of, it must go to WWE's next top female star.

Or, y'know, Charlotte Flair.
