An eight-year-old boy from Hazelton, PA saved his sister’s life last week thanks to John Cena.

Jaxon Dempsey’s 20-month-old sister began choking on a chicken nugget while in the car. Without hesitation, he leaned her forward and began patting her hard on the back between the shoulder blades.

“It made me feel scared because I thought she was going to die, but then this thing came into my mind,” Jaxon told WYOU. “I told my dad to pull over then I started to pat her back.”

He was able to dislodge the piece of food from her throat within seconds.

The family is crediting a Nickelodeon prank show where pro wrestler John Cena demonstrated CPR.

Jaxon’s mother, Kristen Dempsy beleives he watched the episode a year ago and took it very seriously.

“My son remembered this and did this, and lo and behold, he used it for a good purpose,” she shared with Standard-Speaker newspaper.

Jaxon believes every child should learn how to do the Heimlich.

“So if they have a little sister and she’s choking, their parents should teach them how to pat them on the back. And watch the very first episode of ‘The Substitute’ on Nick,” Jaxson told WYOU.

Soon after, Jaxon received a video from John Cena calling him a true hero for being brave enough to take action.
