According to Buzzfeed, a Twitter user named Chris Olds who was attending the show captured a touching moment when a young John Cena fan approached Triple H sitting ringside.
Though there's no video of the event, Olds captured pictures on Twitter of the young boy talking to Triple H:

Whatever Triple H said in character hurt the fan, because the young boy reportedly broke into tears. Triple H broke character to console him. McMahon reportedly broke character, too, to console the fan:

"After the match, (ring announcer) Lilian Garcia congratulated him on Cena's win and they gave him a stack of shirts, wristbands, bandannas, a hat, which he brought back to his dad sitting in front of me."

Triple H is also the Executive Vice President of WWE, so as many have pointed out, this is smart business in addition to basic human kindness.
