Dragon Strike or Tail of the Dragon, maybe? He's not the dragon in WWE though, he hasn't been called that even once, has he? It's certainly not part of his gimmick any more. So it doesn't make any sense to call it that. It'd be like still calling the Walls of Jericho the Lion Tamer, or calling one of Seth Rollins' moves the Black somethingorother. Rollins' leaping stomp is still called the Blackout isn't it?

Might well be, so touche on that - but it still has some relevance, the Shield debuted by blacking out arenas and attacking people, plus his outfit is at least black. There is nothing dragon-like about Bryan any more.

I am also 90% sure they have referred to one of the variations of the Walls of Jericho as the Liontamer... probably the actual liontamer as they are in fact two different moves.

Call it the Whatamaneuver. Whenever Bryan hits the move, the disembodied head of Vince McMahon pops up on the screen and yells out "WHATAMANEUVER!!".

Screw leaving it at that, they should just have a Vince head pop up at random and shout random stuff! *Cesaro double footed stomps on someone* "HE'S GONNA, HE'S GONNA, HEEEEEEEE'S GONNA PUKE! HE'S GONNA PUUUUUKE!" "EEEEEEEENIS DAMMIT!"

Haven't red five pages yet, so I don't know if it's been said; but I've been calling it The Flying High Knees. Juvenile, I know, but I was hoping it'd stick. (And no sticky high knee jokes, please.

The Kool Aid Man. {Spoiler} (Because DBry wears red and could bust through a brick wall with that knee, get it?)

We all know it's going to wind up as the Knee of the Goat or something equally as stupid. But anything is better than having it be called the "Yes!" to Sandow's "You're Welcome."

I say they call it "THAT KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICK". Make your voice crack for added effect.

My criteria for the name is it has to be better than just calling it "The running knee"
They haven't managed to meet that criteria yet.

His main submission finisher is already called the Yes Lock, which is really dumb in and of itself, so they may as well call his knee the Yes Strike for consistency's sake.

I'd like it go be out of the box and nonsensical. No need to work in catchphrase+something with knees or anything logical. Just something that sounds really f***in' cool.
Like...Volcano Nailbomb! or something, I don't know.

They should just call it "That move that beat Cena".
It's unique and it adds credibility.
