American Nightmare topped the roster in off-screen impact
Summary
– Cody Rhodes granted the most Make-A-Wish visits among WWE stars in 2025
– WWE sources confirmed he finished ahead of the rest of the roster
– John Cena still holds the all-time career record for wishes granted
Cody Rhodes made a major impact away from the spotlight in 2025 by leading WWE in Make-A-Wish visits. According to Fightful Select, WWE sources confirmed that Rhodes fulfilled more wishes than any other Superstar during the year.
WWE has a long-standing partnership with Make-A-Wish, with Superstars frequently meeting children facing serious medical challenges. John Cena has historically been the face of that relationship, holding the record for wishes granted.
Due to this legacy, fans have often associated Cena with WWE’s charitable efforts. Earlier in 2025, some even jokingly speculated that Cena’s on-screen heel turn was tied to a wish, though that theory was never true.
This year, however, Rhodes emerged as the most active participant. While the exact number of wishes he granted was not disclosed, WWE officials reportedly viewed his involvement as unmatched across the roster.
Roman Reigns and other top stars continued to support Make-A-Wish throughout the year. Even so, Rhodes’ commitment placed him at the top of the list for 2025.
Whether Rhodes can sustain that pace into 2026 remains to be seen. While Cena’s lifetime record remains untouched, the American Nightmare’s continued involvement suggests his impact is far from finished.
