SUMMARY
- Alongside his WWE career, John Cena is also popular for his Hollywood work, and that's why he made an appearance at Oscars 2024.
- During the 2024 edition of the Academy Awards, The Cenation Leader presented an award in costume design category.
Oscars 2024 was the ninety-sixth edition of the Academy Awards, and it turned out to be a highly successful event. While the stars who won awards at the show obviously grabbed a lot of limelight, one name became a topic of discussion without winning any awards. It’s WWE legend John Cena who has been trending on the internet after the award show.
The Cenation Leader was initially present backstage and made a surprise appearance on the stage to join host Jimmy Kimmel. The moment was preceded by Jimmy asking the Oscars audience, “Can you imagine if a nude man ran across the stage today? Wouldn’t that be crazy?” And that’s when John’s involvement began, as he popped his head out from the stage corner.
