WWE Hall of Famer claims he was first choice for John Cena’s viral Oscars moment
JBL reveals he was originally approached for John Cena's memorable Oscars appearance, while speculation grows about potential Cena-Rock confrontation at 2025 Royal Rumble.
WWE Hall of Famer JBL revealed he was initially approached for the memorable nude presentation at the Academy Awards before John Cena took on the role. Speaking on “What Were They Thinking?” on Backstage Pass, JBL shared the backstory behind the viral moment.
“I was asked first to do the nudity at the Oscars. True story. It wasn’t that I didn’t wanna do it. I didn’t have time,” JBL explained. “I dropped it and John ran with it. I was supposed to do the thing at the Oscars, and I couldn’t do it. That’s kind of how this whole thing happened.”
Cena’s appearance at the Oscars, where he presented the award for Best Costume Design in an apparent state of undress, earned him a standing ovation and significantly boosted his social media following. JBL praised Cena’s performance, noting he “did a wonderful job with it.”
Former WWE producer predicts major Cena-Rock confrontation at Royal Rumble
Ex-WWE producer Tommy Carlucci envisions a dramatic showdown between John Cena and The Rock at the 2025 Royal Rumble. Speaking on “The Coach & Bro Show,” Carlucci outlined his ideal scenario for the event.
“I want to see The Rock and Cena at the end of the Royal Rumble. If I was writing the Royal Rumble, I’d make John Cena [come] first… and then pull out the surprise when the Final Boss comes out at like #25,” Carlucci suggested.
He emphasized the potential of revisiting their historic rivalry from past WrestleManias, with one of them potentially winning the match.
