WWE legend John Cena made headlines after he appeared on stage half-naked to present the Oscar for Best Costume Design. It might sound bizarre but his act at the 96th Academy Awards was actually meant to highlight the importance of costumes in the film industry.
Cena came up on the stage accompanied by host Jimmy Kimmel to hand out the award. After his on-stage assignment was done, the Cenation Leader shared a moment with fellow wrestler Dwayne ‘Rock’ Johnson backstage.
They were joined by another WWE superstar Bad Bunny, who was also invited to attend the prestigious award ceremony. A photo of the trio shaking hands with each other was shared on social media and took no time to become viral.

The Rock was recently featured in an episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live where he spoke about Cena’s hilarious appearance at the Academy Awards. Kimmel, the host of the podcast, asked Johnson if he and Cena had made a mistake by not promoting the upcoming WrestleMania 40 at the Oscars ceremony.
Kimmel further suggested that Johnson and Cena could have engaged in an impromptu fight on the stage as it would have let the audience know what would unfold at WWE’s greatest show next month.
The Rock was left in splits but he immediately thumbed down the idea of attacking a half-naked Cena. “Right, a half-naked John Cena isn’t the guy who I want to attack," he said.
The Brahma Bull further quipped that he wanted Cena to get fully naked before going head-to-head against him. Johnson, however, later clarified that it was just a joke.
“I need him fully naked before I attack him. That was his joke, by the way," Johnson said.
Johnson has been part of the famous Cody Rhodes vs The Bloodline saga for quite some time now. The Rock is set to pair up with Roman Reigns at the upcoming WrestleMania to take on the duo of Rhodes and Seth Rollins. The match will be held on the first night of the two-day event. The result of the clash is expected to have an impact on the Night 2 clash between Rhodes and Reigns.
