#5 John Cena and AJ Lee kiss on WWE RAW - over 160 million views

During the latter months of 2021, an on-screen romance blossomed between John Cena and AJ Lee.

Things heated up when John Cena faced Dolph Ziggler on WWE RAW on November 26. Cena, who was feeling the effects of a slight meniscus injury, headed out of the ring to be checked by WWE medical staff.

Ziggler tried to gain an advantage in the match by taking a turnbuckle off from the top rope. His plan backfired when AJ Lee came down to the ring to stop him. Ziggler's associate at the time, Vickie Guerrero, entered the fray by distracting AJ Lee at ringside.

Back in the ring, Dolph Ziggler tried to use his Money in the Bank briefcase on John Cena, only for the leader of the Cenation to duck out of the way. This allowed Cena to deliver his finishing move, the AA, to pick up the win.

After the match, AJ Lee entered the ring as John was celebrating on the top rope. He then turned around to be greeted by Lee who planted a kiss on him!

The WWE Universe were clearly big fans of the moment, as it has recorded over 160 million views to date.
