History Heartwarming / JohnCena

* After the 4/11/2011 ''Raw'', Cena came out to ask the audience to give another round of applause for Wrestling/Edge (as Edge had announced earlier that night that he was retiring), then paid his own respects to [[RedBaron The Rated-R Superstar]].

* The 11-15-10 "Retro" ''Raw'' provided one during the segment between [Wrestling/JohnCena and [[Wrestling/RoddyPiper "Rowdy" Roddy Piper]]. A fan shouts "Never give up!", which got caught on the ringside mics. Cena pauses his promo to point at said fan and tell them "You're damn right!" Class move.

** He also got a [[{{SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome}} Crowning Moment Of Awesome]] and a [[{{SugarWiki/FunnyMoment}} Crowning Moment Of Funny]] for leading the crowd into one last round of chants: all the women and children chanting "Let's go, Cena!" and all the men going "Cena sucks!", which just proved - despite anyone's feelings on his wrestling skills - how classy, self-aware, and utterly humble the man is.
* [[{{Wrestling/JohnCena}} John Cena]] has filled more requests for the Make-a-Wish Foundation than any other celebrity to date, having granted 300 wishes throughout a span of ''eight years''. As of 10/19/12, he has been given an award for being the first to ever reach this milestone.
* After [[{{Wrestling/EddieGuerrero}} Eddie Guerrero]] died, Cena (then the [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/wwe/wwe-h.html WWE World Heavyweight Champion]]) paid a symbolic tribute at the end of ''Raw's'' tribute show for Eddie. After his main event match, Cena laid down a Eddie [=Guerrero=] memorial T-shirt in the middle of the ring -- then he placed the WWE Championship on top of it. Even Cena's Hatedom will admit that it was a classy thing for Cena to do.

* On the 12/05/2011 ''Raw'', Cena is faced with a SadisticChoice by [[{{Wrestling/JohnLaurinaitis}} John Laurinaitis]], give [[{{Wrestling/ZackRyder}} Zack Ryder]] another shot at a match for the [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/wwe/wwf-us-h.html WWE United States Heavyweight Title]] or keep his [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/wwe/wwe-h.html WWE World Heavyweight Title Shot.]] Cena tells Laurinaitis off, stating he's had plenty of shots and is more than willing to work his butt off to get another and gives the shot to Zack.
** You know what makes this better? Laurnitis was a dick and puts in LoopholeAbuse by putting Ryder into a No Disqualifications match against [[{{Wrestling/MarkHenry}} MARK HENRY]] just so the little guy could finally become a champion. Now, we all know that Ryder can't compete with the World's Strongest Man, so Cena, being as GenreSavvy as he is, lays a beating on Henry and then lays Ryder on top of Henry, thus giving Ryder a chance to become US Champion.

* Using his association with Fruity Pebbles (thanks, of course, to [[{{Wrestling/TheRock}} The Rock]]), Cena has decided to [[http://www.wwe.com/inside/fruity-pebbles-teams-with-john-cena run with it]], to do some more good on behalf of the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
* A [[{{SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments}} Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]] not by Cena, but for Cena. During the buildup to Wrestlemania 28, RAW landed in Cena's hometown of Boston, who have [[{{Wrestling/CMPunk}} booed]] [[{{Wrestling/Edge}} him]] [[{{Wrestling/RobVanDam}} before]]. [[{{Wrestling/TheRock}} The Rock]] visits several historical sites and cuts several classic promos ( [[UnfortunateImplications comparing Cena to the invading British at several points]] ). Finally, Cena and Rock confront each other with [[BrokenBase the usual mixed reaction]]. Then, as The Rock is running Cena down again... the [[CrowdSong chants]] suddenly go from ROCKY! ROCKY! ROCKY! to [[YouAreNotAlone CENA! CENA! CENA!]] Then, the crowd took it further by chanting [[KidAppealCharacter TOOTH FAIRY!]] [[{{NotSoDifferent}} TOOTH FAIRY!]] [[HypocriticalHumor TOOTH FAIRY!]], this after The Rock had repeatedly ridiculed Cena for his fanbase over the build-up. The action in the ring stopped as both men were [[DidntSeeThatComing very surprised by the reaction]] . Soon, when The Rock finishes his piece, Cena gives a very [[TakeThat well-planned]] [[{{WorldOfCardboardSpeech}} appropriate]] [[LetsGetDangerous rebuttal]] ... and the crowd [[SoProudOfYou uniformly cheers]] for Cena [[HomeSweetHome as he celebrates with them including several military people and his extended family including his parents, his brothers, and his wife]].
* Crosses over with Awesome. According to [[{{Wrestling/BrodusClay}} Brodus Clay]], they were gonna cut his dance sequence at WrestleMania, [[{{Wrestling/JohnCena}} John Cena]] who was nearby heard, and said if Brodus would not be going out for his bit, neither would he. And thus Brodus got to dance.
* When him and [[{{Wrestling/Ryback}} Ryback]] were in the running of who'd face [[{{Wrestling/CMPunk}} CM Punk]] at ''Hell In A Cell '12'', Cena gave his reasons why he should be in the match, but then backing out, giving the title shot to Ryback, who had been a wrestling fan since he was little and had gone through various obstacles to get where he was, who visbly almost ''broke out in tears'', Cena even lead the crowd into a [[{{CatchPhrase}} "Feed Me More!"]] chant in support, which can be seen [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxB3tDs_bu4 here]]. Say what you will about Cena, but that was just frickin' humble and kind of him.
