Recently on ESPN Radio’s “Keyshawn, JWill & Max” show, Cody Rhodes appeared to discuss a variety of topics, including WWE’s collaboration with the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
John Cena has long been a cornerstone of this relationship, having thus far granted over 650 wishes, the most of any person in history. Discussing Cena’s work, Rhodes highlighted how it is one of the most fulfilling aspects of their profession. He said,
“What WWE does with Make-A-Wish and the efforts that are made in terms of not just a specific superstar meeting a young kid, it’s the whole group. WWE pretty much involves everyone. It’s kind of this whole gauntlet of you meet this guy, you meet this guy, you do this, you do that, and then you get to meet your superstar. I am honored to be part of that. What John (Cena) has done in terms of number of wishes, surpassing even Michael Jordan, is absolutely surreal. To even be in the same air and the same conversation is really special because it’s not, you know, we list all those titles and all that wonderful stuff. You guys know the real stuff is something like what John has done in terms of Make-A-Wish and having a lasting impact and being able to do something special. So it’s just an honor to be part of that group.”
