Cena's messages include fans thanking him for helping them through the adoption of a child, near-death experiences and cancer.
As the 16-time heavyweight champion read the letters out loud, fans listened in secret backstage before they surprised Cena to show their appreciation. The group also presents the 40-year-old with a Life Changer trophy.
"Just remember that you guys do the work," Cena says to the group of fans. "Don't think that you're the only one who's up against it, and don't think you're the only one who [has] challenges to face every day. You all lead by example, and I mean it when I say it: Don't ever give up."
