Heartwarming / Heath Slater

Go To

  • Rhyno, of all people, offering to be his tag team partner for the tag team tournament. Considering Slater had been the Butt-Monkey during his "Free Agent" storyline it's touching that Rhyno cared enough to lend a helping hand.
  • The absolute cheers throughout the Richmond Coliseum at Backlash 2016 as Heath Slater and Rhyno became the first-ever Smackdown Live Tag Team Champions. Heath hugs it out with his tag partner and watches in pure disbelief as Rhyno hands him one half of the Smackdown Tag Team Championships. With the storyline of Heath struggling to provide for his family and win a WWE contract, finally getting a break by teaming up with Rhyno, and getting a contract WITH the tag team championships, the emotion throughout the arena from both the superstars and the WWE Universe was among one of the most heartwarming moments of 2016.
  • This lovely little moment after the 2018 Royal Rumble where Rhyno heartily congratulated Heath for his shocking and awesome elimination of Sheamus.
  • The video conference interview on The Bump, wherein he congratulated his former 3MB teammate Drew McIntyre on becoming WWE Champion. He also brought tears to Drew's eyes by telling him that his (Drew's) recently deceased mother was celebrating his win up in heaven.
