10 Most Devastating Kick Finishes In WWE History

4. Daniel Bryan - Running Knee

It's such a simple move and yet so brilliantly devastating.

Daniel Bryan's Running Knee remains one of the best visuals in WWE today and has put paid to some of the best superstars in the business over the years.

It never quite comes out of nowhere but Bryan is so good he can deliver it in a matter of seconds and maximise crowd investment in the move and match overall.

We all know Bryan is one of the best operators in the business and the Running Knee fits perfectly with both his character and move-set in general.

What's brilliant with the knee from Bryan is it has the same impact whether he's a heel or face. Fans cheer it when he's flying high as WWE's nice guy and wince in annoyance when he's at his villainous best.

Put simply, the Running Knee can end a match against any opponent in any type of match. That is what makes it so brilliant in its own right.
