CM Punk and Cody Rhodes took a break from throwing punches to share a heartfelt moment that had fans emotional—and it all went down during WWE’s Road to WrestleMania live event in Nottingham, England.

In a video shared by WWE on March 23, the Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes was seen sitting beside CM Punk on the ring apron before their match. “Sometimes you just need a moment to take it all in,” WWE captioned the post—and they weren’t kidding. Punk, looking visibly moved, soaked in the moment alongside Rhodes before they entered the ring to a roaring crowd. But that wasn’t the only emotional highlight of the night.

Another clip shared by WWE featured a young fan dressed like Cody Rhodes, holding a sign that read, “I’d trade my pacifier to meet Cody.” Rhodes brought the kid into the ring, picked him up, and shared a wholesome exchange that melted hearts in the crowd. The moment got even better when another child holding a sign for CM Punk joined them in the ring. Both Punk and Rhodes then signed a turnbuckle together, creating a moment that will stick with those kids—and the fans—for a lifetime.

CM Punk and Cody Rhodes are both set to appear on the March 24 episode of WWE RAW. And with WrestleMania 41 looming, emotions are only going to run higher as Punk prepares to face off against Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns in a blockbuster Triple Threat match.
