John Cena had quite the moment at Sunday night’s 96th annual Academy Awards.
In a bit on the show that saw Cena and Jimmy Kimmel pay tribute to the infamous streaker moment at the 46th annual Academy Awards, Kimmel noted that it was the 40 year anniversary of the moment when David Niven had a streaker run behind him. Kimmel then asked if the audience could imagine that happening again today.
This led to Cena appearing to say that he “didn’t want to do the bet.” When Kimmel argued that Cena wrestles naked anyways, he said “I wrestle in Jorts!”
Cena eventually came out with a big envelope covering his waist area as the nominees were named. When the camera returned, Cena was wearing a toga-like outfit and announced Holly Waddington of Poor Things as the winner.
