Nick Santillo was born with a serious heart condition and today his dream came true, thanks to WWE champ John Cena.
Today is World Wish Day and WWE champ John Cena made sure it was day to remember for one young fan. Nick Santillo was born with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome, essentially meaning he was born with only half a heart.
Nick endured three operations before he was one year old and by the age of eight he has been under the knife eight times.
Now he is better but his quality of life has been impaired by his illness. Today he was brought onto the Today Show to talk about his life but what the youngster didn’t know was that he was about to have his life’s wish come true.
A big WWE fan, Nick wanted to meet the champ, John Cena. Cena surprised the youngster on the show and also told him he would be going to Monday Night Raw with him as his special guest. The look on the kid’s face is priceless.
