Following his memorable appearance at the 2024 Oscars, WWE’s iconic figure John Cena managed to catch up with none other than Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, adding another chapter to their storied friendship.
During the Oscars ceremony, Cena took the stage to present the award for ‘Best Costume,’ although his own attire was far from conventional.
Reminiscent of the infamous streaker incident at the 1974 Oscars, Cena humorously appeared ‘au naturel,’ concealing himself with a strategically placed large envelope.
With the assistance of co-host Jimmy Kimmel, Cena improvised a makeshift outfit during the nominee video package, showcasing his trademark humor and spontaneity.
Amidst the glitz and glamour of the event, Cena seized the opportunity to reconnect with his longtime friend and former wrestling rival, The Rock, who graced the Oscars stage alongside fellow WWE alum Bad Bunny.
A candid snapshot captured Cena warmly greeting The Rock, evoking nostalgia for their shared journey from the squared circle to Hollywood stardom.

Looking ahead, The Rock is set to make a triumphant return to the wrestling ring at WrestleMania 40: Saturday, teaming up with Roman Reigns against Cody Rhodes & Seth Rollins.
The outcome of this highly anticipated match will dictate the trajectory of the subsequent main event, with ‘Bloodline Rules’ hanging in the balance.
Meanwhile, John Cena’s future in WWE remains shrouded in uncertainty. Although eager to contribute to WrestleMania, Cena’s involvement has yet to be confirmed.
Last year, Cena kicked off WrestleMania with a memorable match against then-U.S. Champion Austin Theory, showcasing his enduring appeal and commitment to the WWE universe.
As the anticipation mounts for WrestleMania’s latest installment, fans eagerly await further developments in the ongoing saga of two wrestling legends turned silver screen icons.
