Although meeting children frequently and making their days with enormous gestures mostly suits the baby face like Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns isn’t foreign to it either. The Tribal Chief might be a tyrannical king to his family for years, but in real life, he’s a big softie who has immense soft corners for his younger fans. Reigns has been an old hat in making dreams come true as a Make-A-Wish ambassador, giving kids a one-of-a-kind experience as they fight a life-threatening illness.

Once again, the former Undisputed Universal Champion did something similar through WWE’s noble foundation, offering the world a glimpse of his generous side.

But amidst the odds, the 38-year-old was seen living a naïve moment with a kid through a rare heart-melting footage.
