Jimmy Kimmel introduced a segment in referencing an iconic Oscars streaker from decades prior. Looking to recreate the moment, it was John Cena who appeared on stage completely nude.

Bickering with Kimmel before fully coming out on stage, Cena made clear he doesn’t wrestle naked in the WWE. Rather, his infamous jorts contain the champ’s family jewels when in the squared circle. Alas, he was all too nervous in the moment to walk out in front of the crowd, though did so hesitantly before long.
“Costumes are so important,” Cena joked when he eventually arrived at the microphone. His gag garnering a major applause from the guests, including his Barbie co-star Margot Robbie.
Ultimately giving the award to Poor Things, Cena then scurried away out of frame expertly ensuring no accidental nudity tarnished the moment for the hard-working costume design team.
While this naked appearance may be a massive surprise to the casual Academy Awards fans, those who have seen the press surrounding Cena’s upcoming comedy with Zac Efron will be less thank shocked at the former wrestler’s antics.
