Like other celebrities, WWE Superstars also use their influence to help the community. Several WWE Superstars have donated to charitable causes or helped raise funds for certain charities.

Sami Zayn is always working on collecting funds for Sami for Syria, a mobile clinic in Syria for those affected by issues in the country. Titus O’Neil, on the other hand, is known for working towards many charitable causes and for donating large sums to charity. O’Neil’s friend and former WWE Superstar Batista has also joined him in many charitable activities.

Little acts of kindness can help make a person’s day, and that’s something many WWE Superstars work towards. John Cena has granted the highest number of wishes for the Make-A-Wish Foundation for WWE, along with many other Superstars.

In this article, let’s look at some incredible acts of kindness shown by WWE Superstars in recent years that have helped make the fans a little happier.

The COVID-19 pandemic made life much more difficult for many people. WWE Superstars were affected by the pandemic as well and some of them decided to take a step back from the ring to be with their families. Roman Reigns was one of those Superstars who put his health and family first, deciding to pull out of the ring at an early stage.

However, Reigns’ decision to pull out of WrestleMania 36 left a few of his fans disheartened. The Big Dog decided to reach out to one particular fan who’d purchased tickets to watch Reigns live at The Grandest Stage of Them All.

15-year-old Anthony Primavera, one of Reigns’ biggest fans from South Florida, was one of those who were left shattered after the Superstar pulled out, and the show was held behind closed doors. Anthony is a kidney disease patient who undergoes regular dialysis at Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital in Hollywood.

The hospital decided to reach out to The Big Dog and plan something special for Anthony. In an incredible act of kindness, Reigns made Anthony’s dream come true by video calling him and wishing his fan well.

While the Superstar took time off to be with his family, he did not forget the fans that helped him reach the top. Even during a hiatus, Reigns decided to stay in touch with his diehard fans.

#5 WWE Superstar ‘The Fiend’ Bray Wyatt reaches out to bullied fan

WWE Superstars have often spoken about getting bullied in their earlier days and against bullying. Some Superstars have gone far enough to reach out to their fans and show their support after hearing about stories of them getting bullied.

In early 2020, Holly Gately posted a tweet that her autistic child was attacked in school by bullies. She further revealed that the bullies went far enough to tear her son’s Bray Wyatt t-shirt.

“@WWE @WWEBrayWyatt my boy was attacked by another student at school. His wwe popsocket was broken and his bray wyatt shirt was ripped by the kid cutting him with scissors. He's tougher than a bully”

Wyatt was quick to reply to the tweet and asked the mother to send him their address so he could send some replacement t-shirts over. He also mentioned that The Fiend had the child’s back. Some fans even suggested that The Fiend should accompany the child back to school.

This incredible act of kindness would have made the child’s day, and he would have enjoyed receiving some official merchandise from the WWE Superstar himself.

#4 WWE Superstars support child with dwarfism

Quaden Bayles became an internet sensation in 2020 after a heart-touching video of his went viral. Bayles’ mother posted an emotional video of the 9-year-old online after the child was bullied because he had Dwarfism.

Several celebrities took matters into their own hands and decided to throw their weight behind the child. Comedian Brad Williams, who also has Dwarfism, launched a GoFundMe campaign to help send Quaden and his mother from Australia to Disneyland in the United States.

However, WWE Superstars took notice of the child and decided to go one step further. Initially, the Superstars posted in support of the 9-year-old, before Superstars such as Mark Henry, Paige, and Natalya decided to arrange a trip for the child to WrestleMania.

Paige tweeted that she’d pay for Bayles’ and his entire families’ tickets to Tampa to watch WrestleMania, and many other WWE Superstars seemed to be on board with the idea.

Unfortunately, WrestleMania 36 was held behind closed doors due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the plan could not materialize. However, Paige and other WWE Superstars showed that they are always ready to help out and continue to show incredible acts of kindness.

#3 WWE legend John Cena surprised a 7-year-old fan suffering from a life-threatening disease

WWE Superstar John Cena is one of the most generous celebrities in all of WWE and entertainment. The WWE Superstar has won the hearts of his fans for decades by going out of the way and granting wishes whenever he’s had the chance. This has helped him become recognized as one of the kindest individuals in entertainment today.

"These kids facing life-threatening illnesses are granted one wish, and imagine if you were that wish? That is by far the most flattering thing that I have ever experienced," Cena said in a 2018 interview with ESPN.

In 2020, one particular act of kindness from the Superstar caught the eye of several fans. Even during the COVID-19 pandemic, Cena went out of the way to meet his 7-year-old fan David Castle. Castle is battling Wilms tumor, a cancer that affects the kidneys.

The Doctor of Thuganomics visited Castle at his home, wearing his wrestling attire along with a mask and gloves.

Not only did John Cena meet his little friend, but he also gifted him a package of WWE gifts, including replica championship belts. Castle was visibly moved by Cena’s act of kindness, and the visit would have helped make his battle with a life-threatening disease a little easier.

#2 WWE Superstar Kevin Owens made his fans’ big day more special

Kevin Owens is known to be a family man outside WWE. While the WWE Superstar is great at playing both heel and face characters on screen, he is known to be one of the nicest people backstage.

The former WWE Universal Champion is also famous for interacting with his fans on social media, and an interesting interaction led to an act of kindness from the Superstar. KO posted a photo on social media after taking his family to an Imagine Dragons concert. A fan commented asking whether KO could show up at their wedding.

While the Superstar could have ignored the comment, he decided to fulfill his fans’ wishes. KO crashed the couple’s wedding and even took a photo with the bride and groom.

The fans of WWE were also sent a video by Becky Lynch wishing them the best of luck for the future and a very happy married life. While WWE Superstars are usually busy traveling or spending their days off with their families, this act of kindness proved that they care a lot about their fans’ happiness too.

#1 WWE legend Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson gifted a truck to Harvey Whippleman

WWE legend Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson is one of the biggest names in the entertainment industry. While many people forget about their roots once they become famous, The Rock has proven to be different from the rest.

The Rock recently recalled the time when Harvey Whippleman (aka Downtown Bruno) helped him out when he was just starting out. Whippleman went out of his way to give the legendary Superstar a place to stay, and the two ended up sharing a beautiful friendship.

The Rock decided to pay back his old friend by gifting him something special for Christmas in 2020. Whippleman helped The Rock get his first car, and the Superstar surprised him by gifting him a truck in return.

“And hell, when I was 15-yrs old, Bruno even gave me his last $40 bucks so I could hustle a crackhead out of his car one night at a honky-tonk in Nashville.”
“Merry Christmas, Bruno and since you helped me “buy” my first car - I figured I could return the favor and buy you one that 100% does NOT have a crackhead in the back seat.”

The WWE Superstar posted a touching video of the moment he gifted Whippleman the truck in order to pay him back for his kindness. Exchanges of kindness from wrestling stars like this help remind fans that the faces they see on television are people, too. In this case, they are very good people.
