John Cena, The Rock present awards at the 2024 Oscars
Pro wrestling had a presence at the Academy Awards on Sunday.
John Cena, The Rock, and Bad Bunny all presented awards. Cena was the first to do so, first appearing in a skit with Jimmy Kimmel. After Kimmel talked about how a streaker previously interrupted the Academy Awards, he encouraged Cena to do the same. Cena ended up balking at the idea at the last second, wearing nothing but the Oscars envelope to present the award for Best Costume Design. Cena eventually put on a toga to announce the winner, Poor Things.

As Cena made his exit, he was shown briefly shaking hands with The Rock, who then went to present the award for Best International Feature Film with Bad Bunny. That award went to The Zone of Interest.

The Rock has recently returned to WWE television, associating himself with Roman Reigns as part of The Bloodline. On this past Friday’s SmackDown, it was confirmed that he will team up with Regins on night one of WrestleMania 40 to take on Cody Rhodes & Seth Rollins.
