At last night's Royal Rumble, John Cena made history by becoming a 16 time WWE Champion after flooring AJ Styles with a series of Attitude Adjustments.
Now Cena, for whatever reason, is not really liked to hardcore WWE fans, who see him as a sort of Jar Jar Binks equivalent, designed to entertain kids and sell toys. And maybe he is, just like every other wrestler.

Instead of parading around the ring reveling in the hate, Cena chose to hop over the guardrail and talk to a Make-A-Wish child, even giving him the chance to hold and pose with the world title. For those who don't know, Cena has granted more wishes for the Make-A-Wish company than any other celebrity.
Watch as Cena takes time out of his own special moment to talk to the fan. It's a great gesture from the face of the company, who, no matter how you feel about the quality of his clotheslines, is a pretty universally-loved personality outside of the ring.
Even though he has met a number of children with the charity, he doesn't feel it to be anywhere near enough.

In an interview with Men's Health last year, the wrestler and actor said: "That's over 15 years, roughly 5,475 days," in reference his wishes. "That means I've been idle for 4,975 days. I feel like I'm not meeting enough kids. The days I see a Make-A-Wish kid are the best days of the week. It's a real privilege.
"I give them exactly what they give me-hope. It's a day off from the normal struggle."
What a guy.
