John Cena appeared at the Nickelodeon UK Kids’ Choice Awards which was taped at the ExCel and aired this morning on Nickelodeon in the United Kingdom. Cena was nominated for an award in Best Sportsperson category however the award went to LA Galaxy star David Beckham who wasn’t present for the occasion. When the video of Beckham started on the big screen, Cena interrupted on stage to a large scream from the thousands of kids in attendance. Cena was about to start crying for not winning the award and told the hosts that he will stay on the stage and will hold his breath until he wins an award. After a few they told him that they will give him an award for the ‘most injured wrestler’. Cena – who had his arm in a sling – ran backstage after the Slime Squad interrupted and came on stage to slime the audience. (Thanks to Colin Vassallo)
