John Cena Bares Almost All While Presenting Best Costume Design At Oscars

John Cena took a hilarious (and slightly shocking) approach to presenting the award for Best Costume Design at the 2024 Oscars. In a nod to award show history, Cena eschewed a traditional outfit altogether, opting for a strategically placed envelope and a pair of Birkenstocks. ## This "costume-free" presentation paid homage to a famous 1974 Oscars streaker incident. Host Jimmy Kimmel set the stage by reminding viewers of this past "crazy moment" before introducing Cena.## While some might say Cena simply "floated" the envelope to the microphone stand, his near-nakedness created a definite buzz. Kimmel even quipped that going commando was a bolder choice than sporting jean shorts, a playful jab at a past fashion faux pas.## Despite the unconventional attire, the show must go on! The award for Best Costume Design ultimately went to the film "Poor Things."## While some might jokingly speculate this was a cheeky promotion for John Cena's OnlyFans, it was undeniably a memorable moment in Oscars history.## John Cena presenting the award for Best Costume Design at the #Oscars. pic.twitter.com/4LCifHXp0y— Pop Base (@PopBase) March 11, 2024 ## What you didn't see on TV: John Cena's quick change. pic.twitter.com/h9tXdZXd1g— Vulture (@vulture) March 11, 2024 ## While appearing on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, John Cena Speculated a matchup against Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson at WrestleMania and working with Peter Farrelly in Ricky Stanicky.

Bianca Belair Campaigns For Active Natalya To Enter WWE Hall Of Fame

Bianca Belair has high praise for fellow WWE Superstar Natalya and believes she deserves a historic induction into the WWE Hall of Fame. ## Natalya's accolades speak for themselves. A multi-time WWE Champion, she also holds a Guinness World Record for the most matches and victories within the company. In a recent interview with Triblive's Justin LaBar, Belair expressed her desire to see Natalya inducted into the Hall of Fame while still wrestling.## "I can't wait for one of the women to do it, like Nattie," Belair said. "If you look at Nattie's resume and what she's done, and how long she's been here... I would love to see her one day be inducted to the Hall of Fame, but still be able to go in and have a match of WrestleMania, like Rey Mysterio." ## Belair admires the approach of wrestlers like Rey Mysterio, who have been inducted into the Hall of Fame but continue to perform at the highest level.## "She keeps going," Belair continued, praising Natalya's accomplishments. "She's in the Guinness Book of World Records... I think she's not a legend in the making, she's already a legend, and she's still going."## While Paul Heyman headlines this year's WWE Hall of Fame class, Belair's comments spark an interesting conversation about potentially redefining Hall of Fame inductions. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

Matt Riddle On Forbidden Door: 'Never Say Never' But Cautious About Taking Someone's Spot

Matt Riddle, since his WWE release in September 2023, has found success in both MLW and NJPW, even capturing the NJPW World TV Championship. ## With the ongoing partnership between NJPW and AEW, speculation has swirled about a potential Riddle appearance at the upcoming Forbidden Door event. ## In a recent interview with Jamal Niaz at For The Love of Wrestling, Riddle addressed the Forbidden Door talk. He acknowledged the excitement surrounding the event but expressed reservations about disrupting the AEW roster. ## "People keep saying this ‘forbidden door,’” Riddle said. "They keep telling me to go through forbidden doors, and I feel like, ‘Guys, I’ve done this before and I get in trouble.’" ## Riddle seems wary of stepping on toes, highlighting the talent already on the AEW roster.## "They got a stacked roster. There’s plenty of people that can fill in any gaps, and I personally don’t like to be the guy that comes in and rains on someone else’s parade or takes someone else’s spot as they’re working hard." ## He referenced his own experience in NJPW, where he, along with Minoru Suzuki (Nic Nemeth), arrived following the departures of Kazuchika Okada and Will Ospreay.## "Not saying we’re going to be those guys, but they’re already moving in that direction, right. So that’s how I kind of look at it."## However, Riddle did leave the door open for a future appearance. ## "But never say never," he concluded. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

And that's gotten him far. But lately, now he's starting to make mistakes, and can you really afford to be making mistakes, Bobby? When you're the leader of the pride, you're responsible for their careers and now, yeah, you won.## But how does it feel to win when you're unconscious, tell me, Bobby? Put it in black and white I got this man's blood on my hands, I'm not the one who looks like a loser. Check out the ring check out the EMTs, medical, he's a loser. ## I mean, hell, maybe the pride needs a new leader, but it's not gonna be me. I think should be Montez Ford he's a new breakout star but we all know he can't do that when he's dragging Dawkins. And Bobby's not letting him be the best version of himself, I'm just saying what everybody's thinking, TikTok." ## ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

WWE WrestleMania Heats Up: Cody Rhodes Slaps The Rock, Tag Team Match Official

The stage is set for a colossal clash at WrestleMania 40, as Seth Rollins officially accepted The Rock's tag team challenge on the latest episode of SmackDown. This high-stakes encounter pits Cody Rhodes & Rollins against The Rock & Roman Reigns on Night One of the grandest stage of them all. ## The Rock, wielding his power as a TKO Board member, threw down a gauntlet.

The Rock ignited a verbal inferno by calling Rhodes a "mistake," referencing the 20-year age gap between him and his siblings.## This insensitive jab provoked Rhodes, who retaliated with a resounding slap. It's worth noting that Cody and his sister Teil are actually three years apart in age. ## Stay tuned to sacnilk...
