Five Questions with John Cena ’95
Legendary pro-wrestler, successful Hollywood actor, and best-selling author John Cena continues to break new ground in a remarkable career, earning both deep respect both for his achievements and work ethic. Among his many accomplishments, he has granted more wishes to children with life-threatening illnesses through the Make-A-Wish Foundation than anyone else in history.
