To say that John Cena is a polarizing figure in WWE would be an understatement.

The WWE Universe has a love-hate relationship with the former WWE Champion. If you recall, Cena was first introduced as a babyface on the SmackDown brand back in 2002 when he made his debut with the company in a singles match against Kurt Angle.

They would later turn Cena into a heel, and he would portray that character until 2004 when he turned into a babyface. After winning the WWE Title from John Bradshaw Layfield at WrestleMania 21 in 2005, the sports entertainment company has continued to keep him as a babyface due to his popularity with younger fans.

For years now, the older male audience has called for the former WWE Champion to turn heel and go to the dark side. Not only because they want to change Cena from being portrayed as a babyface, which he has done for over a decade but also because he was such a great heel back in the day.

WWE has considered doing this in the past, but at the end of the day, WWE Chairman Vince McMahon and other WWE officials have yet to pull the trigger on a Cena heel turn.

With all of that being said, it’s extremely difficult for fans to argue that Cena hasn't used his star status to positively impact the lives of others. For those who may not know, the former WWE Champion became the first celebrity to grant 500 wishes for the Make-A-Wish Foundation back in 2015.

Also, he has worked with The Susan G. Komen organization in its effort to prevent and cure breast cancer. Over his time with the sports entertainment company, he has given inspiration to countless fans with his "Never Give Up" mantra. His fanbase is known as the "Cenation.”

Cricket Wireless filmed recently Cena reading several notes featuring touching stories from his fans. However, Cena was in store for a surprise of his own as he didn’t know that those fans were watching and waiting to thank him in person.

"This is a great moment. Some really, really heartfelt stuff," Cena said. "It's a reaffirming message of be mindful that your actions affect those close to you."
