John Cena is arguably one of the most popular WWE Superstars to have ever graced the square circle. His popularity among his fans has no bounds. Ever since his debut in WWE in 2002, Cena experienced an early rise to success. Since his debut, he was a loudmouth white rapper. However, after WWE changed to PG Era, he became a more sophisticated version of himself. He started wearing bright-colored graphic tees, alongside shorts, and sneakers. This phase of his career saw him connect more with his younger fans.

In an interview from a few years ago, John Cena met with Men’s Health, and spoke about a variety of things, including his career and Make-a-wish foundation. During the interview, the host asked Cena about the 500 wishes that he granted through the Make-a-wish foundation.
However, Cena felt that they were still not enough. He stated he granted those wishes over a course of “15 years, roughly 5,475 days.” He said, “That means I’ve been idle for 4,975 days. I feel like I’m not meeting enough kids.”

Cena concluded with, “I give them exactly what they give me—hope. It’s a day off from the normal struggle.” As of now, Cena holds the Guinness World record for granting the highest number of wishes.
