During the 96th Academy Awards, John Cena made a bold entrance, seemingly unclothed except for an envelope concealing certain areas, while announcing the Best Costume Design award. This unforgettable moment quickly became the talk of the town, sparking discussions and amusement among viewers and attendees alike.
In a recent episode of his Story Time with Dutch Mantell podcast, wrestling veteran Dutch Mantell, also known as Zeb Colter in the WWE, delved into Cena’s unexpected display at the Oscars 2024. Mantell acknowledged that the 16-time World Champion’s act had certainly caused a stir, labeling it as a rare spectacle unlikely to be repeated. When questioned about his own willingness to pull off a similar stunt, Mantell teasingly responded, “I might.”
Reflecting on Cena’s unconventional appearance at the Oscars, Mantell shared on his podcast, “John Cena, I don’t know whose idea this was, but he brought the envelope out. And he was totally naked, and it was like a big envelope-sized letter over his private areas, and he was naked. He did get a lot of talk. How many times you see that? Probably never. And you’ll probably never see John Cena like this again.”
