Key Highlights

  • We had John, and we had to lean on John for so many different things for 15, 20 years.
  • Having him go above and beyond, become an even bigger star to the world.
  • But the best part, to me, is when he grants those wishes, when he comes back to WWE and gives back, or when he's given somebody advice behind the scenes."Back in 2022, Guinness World Records officially recognized Cena for granting the most wishes for children battling critical illnesses through the Make-A-Wish Foundation, with 650 under his belt as of that point.
  • The wrestler-turned-actor has gone on to fulfill much more since then. As Nemeth mentioned, in between his busy schedule, Cena has continued to uplift his fellow wrestlers, including WWE Women's Intercontinental Champion, Becky Lynch, as well.
  • Ahead of his retirement match, Cena even took the time to guide up-and-coming independent performers at a training run by WWE star Bayley.
