Simple question, who In your opinion has or had the most protected finishers in the history of WWE? My bets are going to the Stunner and F5.
Aside probably The Rock, not many have repeatedly kicked out of multiples of them.

RKO and Strowmans powerslam are there. Cena lost to one of them on two separate occasions now

Stunner. Apparently it’s so fast people can’t help but to stand there like they have no idea it’s coming. Even if twenty people are taking it.

Hogan's leg drop first came to mind. I'm trying to think who's kicked out of it (at least from 84-93). Maybe Yokozuna at KOTR 93? Here I come Google.

Right now, the F5.

The Punt is statistically the most protected finish in WWE history, no one has ever kicked out after taking it, and it was used to write several people off telly.
Nowadays, I'd suggest either Strowman's power slam or Brock's F5.

I feel that last year, the Styles Clash (when it became identified as a finisher) was protected. I also think the Phenomenal Forearm is protected.
The Kallas was protected heavily this year until AJ kicked out of it.
Bailey's Belly to Belly is also protected rather well. I don't think I've seen someone kick out of it (did Asuka do it?)
I'd say something from Asuka's aresenal or Nia Jax as well, but I think every week they use a new submission or finisher respectively.
By and large, I would say RKO.

People kick out of the Pedigree all the time though.

Right now it’s the F-5. Nobody has kicked out of that for well over a year
