John Cena vs Dwayne Johnson: Who’s Make-a-Wish Record Is Better?

The Make-A-Wish Foundation is a non-profit group that helps sick kids get what they want. The main goal of the organization is to support little fighters and their families during hard times in any way possible. To support such a noble cause many famous individuals come together to grant a wish. Astonishingly, even though famous people like Lady Gaga, Dwayne Johnson, and Robert Downey Jr. have been a part of this initiative, no one comes close to the great John Cena. He is a step ahead of everyone. 

Cena has worked with the group for a long time. He made his first wish come true in 2002, over twenty years ago. Cena is the famous person that kids want to meet the most. John Cena, actor, wrestling star, and constant meme subject, has done something amazing, Cena broke the world record for the most wishes given by the Make-A-Wish Foundation. 

In 2012, he granted the foundation’s 1,000th wish. Currently, the wrestler has given 650, which has aided kids with serious illnesses to achieve what they want. The kids love it when he meets them with one of his title belts so they can take a picture with him or just get to spend some time with the star. 

On the other hand, Dwayne ‘Rock’ Johnson also hasn’t stopped doing what he does best: making dreams come true, even though he has been involved in a lot of playing parts and public events. The Rock met with about twenty of his biggest fans at Universal Studios Hollywood. This indicated that the kids would not only get to hang out with one of the most famous WWE Superstars of all time, but they would also get to enjoy the sights, sounds, and experiences that Universal Studios is famous for all over the world.

While Johnson doesn’t boast the highest number of Make-A-Wish records, he certainly has the record for the most wishes granted in a day. Additionally, a pledge was made by The Rock to give each $100,000 to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. These days, WWE and Make-A-Wish are almost always in the news together. The WWE and Make-A-Wish partnership has endured for more than four decades and shows no indication of waning. 

How WWE is responsible for this major achievement?

Through many projects and relationships around the world, WWE Impact tries to motivate its Superstars, fans, and workers. WWE and Make-A-Wish have worked together for more than 40 years to grant the dreams of children who have serious diseases. It takes creativity to come up with a dream, but a huge group of workers, doctors, donors, fans, and even WWE Superstars can make it come true. WWE Superstars have given more than 6,000 wishes so far.

Last year, the foundation was at the center of the WrestleMania 39 at SoFi Stadium. The kids received hoots and applause from over 80,000 fans and it was the first time that the kids were incorporated into WrestleMania. Unsurprisingly, it was John Cena who invited the children to join him for his entrance before his marquee match.

Apart from Cena and Johnson, WWE stars like Cody Rhodes, Finn Balor, Bayley, and others also joined the meet-and-greet with these kids in April last year. The CEO of Make-A-Wish America concerning the partnership expressed, “WWE understands that the wishes they help to grant can provide children with critical illnesses with the strength and resilience they need to fight whatever challenges come their way.”
