The F5. At the moment, it feels like the only maneuver in the company that feels like a finisher. A maneuver so devastating that it doesn't matter if Brock hits it 5 minutes into the match, or 15. The match is over. Just Brock trying to hit the move delivers the same emotional reaction as many performers hitting their best shot 2-3 times. I think the only other maneuver that comes close is the RKO.
F-5 because it's pretty much the only finishing move, besides Roman's Spear and the RKO, that has been protected to the point where you know the match is over once it's hit. Since the Spear and RKO didn't make it on the nom list, I gotta go with the F-5. Not the coolest finisher, but it's definitely the most devastating from a kayfabe perspective.
This video is a year and a half old.

There is only one move on this list that is so sudden, can be hit at any point in a match, and has finished the victim without fail.

The F5 has ended 4 Televised matches since WrestleMania. Including the sporadic Live Event match, that number jumps all the way up to 12. Don't go saying it's a world beater when it won 4 matches (or 12). Aleister Black has wrestled 94 matches (3/4ths of which were Live Events), and has won 87 of them. Televised matches the number is around 15. ALL of them he's won with the Black Mass.LOL please. Roman Reigns would kick out of like 5 of those. Probably in succession. The F5 has been the only move this past year that has been shown to keep both him, and everyone else, down since Wrestlemania after just one application.

12 vs. 87. 4 vs. 15. Tell me again how the F5 is deadlier? Sheer quantity, coupled with the complete lack of anyone ever surviving the move, is proof enough that Black Mass >> F5.
And to those voting for the Insane Elbow. I love the move, but it suffers from the same issue as the F5, in that Kairi Sane has won only 8 televised matches with it, and that's the only time she's done it. It hasn't been built up as much as the Black Mass has this year.
I never really agreed with the "It's just another kick" argument. Maybe in the case of, say, Hideo Itami, where said kick looks garbage, but that's really more a case of, well, the kick looking garbage. Why does a RKO hurt more than a neck breaker? Or a chokeslam more than a scoop slam?
I do like a good elbow drop though.
