Wholesome record held by John Cena as he successfully beats Dwayne Johnson
WWE legend John Cena holds a number of impressive titles, both in and outside of the ring.
The 16-time world champion might be retiring at the end of this year, but to say he's made his mark on both the wrestling industry and Hollywood would be an understatement.
The 47-year-old has also had his fair share of rivalries along the way - most recently, with his own fanbase.
That's right, Cena shocked fans by transforming into a 'heel' - aka an evil character - as he took aim at WWE champion Cody Rhodes back in March.

And with Cena's final ever Wrestlemania taking place in Las Vegas this weekend, all eyes will once again be on the star as he takes on current champion Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship title.
Among Cena's high-profile rivalries has been his beef with pro wrestler Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson.
It all began back in 2008 when Cena told UK newspaper The Sun that Johnson - whose movie credits include Jumanji and Moana - that he 'doesn't give anything back' to wrestling as he was too busy with his acting career, which he later apologized for.
However, his comment triggered a 15-year-long fall-out, which fortunately was resolved a couple of years back.
In 2011, Johnson returned to host WrestleMania 27 after a lengthy absence, and Cena called him out for it. He also pulled the Black Adam star up for reading off promo notes scrawled on his wrist.
The duo battled it out during Wrestlemania 28, which Johnson won, and they clashed once again the following year, with Cena making victory.
But pair have patched things up since though, with Cena admitted he'd apologized to Johnson back in 2023 and the pair finally put their differences aside, reports the Daily Mail.
Away from their drama, there's one particular, super wholesome record Cena has absolutely cleaned up with, especially compared to Johnson - and other celebrities, for that matter.
That's his record for the most Make-A-Wish fulfilments. The charity helps grant wishes for children with life-threatening health conditions.
Cena holds the world record for the most completed Make-A-Wish requests, at 650, as of September 2022, according to NPR.
The Guinness Book of World Records called the feat 'herculean', The Guardian reported in 2022. And Cena is more than willing to be there at the drop of a hat, telling Reuters: "I just drop everything … If I can offer a fantastic experience, I’ll be first in line to do my part."
Three years on, chances are his number is even higher.
However, that doesn't mean that Johnson isn't as dedicated to the charity.
Johnson has also fulfilled a number of Make-A-Wish requests, with some sources suggesting he could've completed around 200.
Just last year, he stepped up the game and invited 21 Make-A-Wish Foundation kids for a fun-filled day at Universal Studios in LA which ended with an individual meet-and-greet, which he documented in a video on his YouTube channel.
When it comes to making sick kids’ dreams come true it’s, of course, not really a competition - it's great to know both wrestling legends have brightened up the days of children going through such hardship.
