Pro-wrestler John Cena needs no introduction to his accomplishments in the sport. However, not many know about his humanitarian nature. The WWE Legend has always strived to help the unfortunate and is known to love charity work. Not only does he make incredible donations, but Cena also makes time to interact with people.
In an episode of PlayStation HEROES, a collaboration of the console brand with non-profit organizations, John Cena donated his time to play a match of WWE 2k16 with a fan. To give some context, PlayStation HEROES was a charity event that allowed PS4 owners to win a chance to challenge a celebrity for a game of their choice.

To bag such a chance, owners had to buy items from the PlayStation HEROES app. According to PlayStation, 90% of the earnings via the app was pledged to non-profit organizations, namely Make-A-Wish, The USO and The V Foundation for Cancer Research.
