• John Cena visited Misha Rohozyn, who has Down’s Syndrome, in his new home in the Netherlands.
• Misha’s mother promised him they’d find the actor when they had to flee Mariupol following the Russian invasion.
• The 19-year-old came to the U.S. on a business trip from Ukraine.

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.”

When Cena said his goodbyes to Misha and his mother, he reminisced on his day.

He then hugged Misha’s mother, who broke down in tears and said, “Thank you, thank you, John. You have a big heart.”
