When it comes to the Oscars, it seems like the current trend is ‘Go big or Go home.’ People are still talking about actor Will Smith pulling a Dwayne Johnson on host Chris Rock from two years ago. However, this year’s Oscar 2024 gave us something no one expected: a naked John Cena.

And yes, we all could see him. While the stunt amused some audience members, the WWE Universe did not share the same feeling. Taking to social media, the always vocal WWE fans had some select words for the G.O.A.T.

“Costumes, they are so important,” were the first words Cena uttered as he stood in front of Hollywood stark naked. Cena was there to present the Costume Design award for the evening. When Cena strutted out on stage, the first sight resulted in a mixed reaction. While actors like Margot Robbie, who worked with Cena, were visibly amused and surprised, others didn’t know what to make of this. Showcasing his chiseled 46-year-old body, Cena remained calm and showed off his charisma.

While this grand entrance had noble intentions, no one watching was prepared for it. The outlandish gesture was done to showcase the importance of the category and the people involved in the costume department. However, social media was buzzing because people just saw Cena naked at the Oscars. This resulted in the 16-time World Champion trending on multiple social media platforms.

While many WWE fans embraced the silliness of it all, others found it humiliating. Cena has a huge fanbase still in the WWE. Being the face of the company for well over a decade, seeing him act like this on a Hollywood stage rubbed them the wrong way. Also, the fact that Cena hasn’t won a singles match in years adds fuel to the fire.

From Ring to Red Carpet, fans are not happy with Cena

There is no doubt that WWE fans hate it when one of their stars goes Hollywood. The first example was Hollywood Hogan, followed by Hollywood Rock, and now Cena. The WWE fans were so shocked to see this that they couldn’t register what was going on. Here are some of the top reactions.
