John Cena said in an emotional video provided by the WWE, “When I read about Misha’s story, it reached out to me not just Misha but the story of Misha’s mom as well. I had three days off from work, right at the time I read this story, and I’m an hour away by air, so that turned into ‘We’re going’.”

Added, “That means spending an afternoon building blocks and eating cake, that’s a special afternoon when it comes to the new friends I was able to meet � How special is today? Yeah. Pretty darn special.”

To welcome Misha and his mother, John wore his characteristic ‘Respect Earn It’ T-shirt, denim shorts, yellow armbands, and baseball cap, but soon offered away his shirt and hand, as well as a WWE title belt, to his little admirer.

His visit moved the star of ‘Peacemaker.’

He said: “Misha’s ability to embrace resistance, that’s extraordinary. Those words never give up, we’ve all thought about those in our lives, they’re very powerful. I think Misha’s a great example — Misha’s mom – they’re two great examples of how persistence can lead to joy, even though the toughest of times.”
