John Cena On WrestleMania Priorities & His Work With Make-a-Wish

WrestleMania week is always a busy time for WWE superstars, especially if your name is John Cena. This year, however, Cena had a whole different set of priorities – mainly involving Make-a-Wish. During a recent interview with Sports Illustrated, the 16-time world champion documented his experience after inducting 26 children into WWE’s Circle of Champions.

On WWE’s Circle of Champions:

“I want to make sure everyone has a wonderful experience. For someone to get one wish and their wish is to hang out with you, that’s the most awesome thing ever. I have great perspective of what it is and never take it for granted. I’ll always try to give as much happiness as I possibly can.”

On new WrestleMania week priorities:

“This is the first time in a long time I haven’t had to focus on a main-event profile segment. There wasn’t that looming WrestleMania Sunday in the back of my mind saying, ‘I have to do this and this is what people pay to see.’

On WWE honouring Sue Atchison:

“None of this happens without Sue,” said Cena. “She introduced me to a charity that has become part of my value system.”x
