John Cena may be best known for his power moves inside the WWE ring, but his latest viral moment showed a softer, more personal side. The 48-year-old wrestler and actor was recently spotted lifting his wife, Shay Shariatzadeh, over a puddle to keep her shoes dry, a gesture that immediately captured attention online.

The clip, widely shared across social media and reported by AS USA, shows Cena not only carrying Shariatzadeh effortlessly but also opening the car door for her once she was safe on dry ground. In another thoughtful moment, he paused to shake hands with a nearby security guard, thanking him warmly before leaving.
Fans quickly flooded platforms like X and TikTok with reactions, calling the act “gentleman goals” and praising Cena for valuing small, meaningful gestures in his marriage. Many noted how the moment highlighted a side of the star rarely seen in public, outside of red carpets and wrestling appearances.
The video has since gone viral worldwide, with thousands of shares and comments celebrating Cena’s display of affection. Viewers remarked that while his in-ring persona is all about strength and dominance, this candid clip reminded them that the star is equally defined by humility and kindness.
For longtime fans, the moment underscored what makes Cena such a unique figure in both sports and entertainment: his ability to balance the toughness of a 17-time world champion with the sincerity of a devoted husband. As one fan put it, the video proves that sometimes the smallest gestures carry the greatest impact.
