There is no denying that John Cena has been the biggest babyface that WWE has produced over the years. To make it better, Cena has never played any character who was a heel. Even with all the hate he used to get in the early 2010s, Cena continued to be the good guy. But after all these years, fans realized the vast importance of a good babyface after Cena left the company.

Now, after years of Cena’s full-time career ended, we finally have another massive babyface in the form of Cody Rhodes. So, it made all the sense in the world that WWE would put the two together in a segment on this week’s Raw. But no one was expecting to see a heartwarming hug between the two, which sent the WWE universe into raptures.

Fans are over the moon for John Cena and Cody Rhodes’ big moment

After roasting Austin Theory alive in the ring with nothing but his mic, Cena walked down the aisle to go backstage. But before he could go, Cody Rhodes came out and gave Cena a housewarming hug just to put the cherry on top. While fans have always linked the passing of the torch to an excellent match, this hug just made everyone cheer for the two like a little kid.

The unexpectedness of the hug made it even better.

There is no need for Rhodes to get over, but Cena’s push just might have given people hope that he could beat Reigns.

This moment will surely go down in history as one of the best passing of the torches in recent history.

This just goes to show that the WWE creative team did not back down from doing unexpected things out of nowhere. The wrestling fandom didn’t expect this interaction to happen, but we are all happy it happened. This interaction has also led people to believe that Rhodes could finally be the one to dethrone Reigns. But the prediction that fans made initially has proven to be effective at this point.
