WWE veteran John Cena “went undercover” as a CPR instructor on an episode of The Substitute back in 2020. An eight-year-old kid recently spoke to Amanda Eustice of WNEP and revealed that Cena’s demonstration helped him save his sister while she was choking from a chicken nugget.

Here’s what eight-year-old Jaxson Dempsey had to say about how John Cena aided him in helping his sister:

You can watch a short clip from the episode below. It shows an unrecognizable John Cena posing as a CPR instructor named Mr. Barnes and teaching children how to perform CPR in emergencies.

Jaxson’s father Matt Dempsey told WNEP that his daughter probably wouldn’t have made it if it hadn’t been for his son’s quick thinking.

John Cena has been a long-time big role model for kids
