Heavyweight wrestler Cody Rhodes continues to win hearts not just with his in-ring talent but with his remarkable ability to connect with fans, young and old alike. Known for his willingness to take time to engage with the audience and make small but meaningful gestures, Rhodes has built a reputation as one of WWE’s most approachable and beloved superstars. His generosity and charisma extend beyond the ring, creating moments that fans remember long after the match lights dim.
One particularly heartwarming incident occurred during WWE RAW on February 17, 2025, at the Spectrum Center in Charlotte, North Carolina. A young girl had been eagerly anticipating an autograph from her favorite wrestler, carrying a sign that read: “Cody Will You Sign My Sign!?” Earlier that day, her parent tweeted: “Hey @CodyRhodes, we’ll be in Charlotte tonight in the front row, my little girl would love to meet you!” Fans in the arena were abuzz, watching the little girl hold her sign high, hoping that Rhodes would notice her heartfelt request.

Cody Rhodes was competing in a dark match against Carmelo Hayes, giving the Charlotte crowd plenty of high-flying action and dramatic moments. Yet, even amidst the intensity of the match, Rhodes remained aware of his surroundings—and, true to form, he noticed the young fan’s plea. After the bout, Rhodes approached the front row, greeted the girl with a warm smile, and signed her sign, creating a touching moment that had the audience cheering louder than some of the match’s biggest moves.
Not stopping there, Rhodes took to X (formerly Twitter) to share the moment with his fans online. “Found ya,” he wrote, “Charlotte, NC… you were incredible tonight! Until next time #WWERaw.” The tweet, accompanied by a photo of the smiling fan with her signed sign, quickly garnered likes and retweets, showing that even brief gestures can leave lasting impressions.
Fans have long admired Rhodes for these gestures, and the story also carries a humorous side. According to eyewitnesses, as Rhodes leaned over to sign the girl’s sign, a mischievous toddler in the front row tried to “steal” the marker, prompting Rhodes to jokingly playfully shoo the little one away while maintaining his autograph session—a brief, comical reminder that working the crowd isn’t always as straightforward as it seems.
Moments like these highlight the dual life of a WWE superstar: the intense, competitive athlete in the ring and the approachable, kind-hearted hero outside it. Cody Rhodes continues to excel in both, showing fans that his dedication extends beyond winning matches—it’s also about creating memories, bringing smiles, and leaving every person who meets him with a story worth telling. In Charlotte on February 17, 2025, Rhodes proved that a superstar’s greatest victories can sometimes happen far from the spotlight, in the simple joy of connecting with a fan.
Found ya 😉❤️
Charlotte, NC… you were incredible tonight!
until next time 👊🏼 #WWERaw https://t.co/znPUJRe1nM pic.twitter.com/Y2gNpQQ6lv
