John Cena Ignites Speculation With Cryptic Kenny Omega Post

Despite representing rival wrestling promotions, Kenny Omega and John Cena have found common ground in mutual respect. Omega, a former AEW World Champion, recently praised Cena on his Twitch stream.



While acknowledging they've never met, Omega commended Cena's wrestling skills and vast contributions to the industry. He specifically highlighted Cena's dedication to charity work, particularly his work with Make-A-Wish.



Omega impressed upon his viewers that Cena's philanthropic efforts weren't for personal gain or recognition, but rather a genuine desire to make a positive impact.

This praise follows Cena's recent social media post featuring an image of Kenny Omega.



Omega is currently on the shelf (injured and unable to compete) as he recovers from diverticulitis. His in-ring return remains shrouded in mystery (the exact date is unknown). While, Cena is also missing from WWE action. He claims he hasn't received an invitation to the upcoming WrestleMania 40, but insists he's available that day (not booked for anything else).

John Cena on Going Naked On The Oscars 2024 Stage: 'Make Me As Naked As Possible, So Disney Says It's Too Naked'

John Cena's "nude" appearance at the 2024 Oscars to present the Best Costume Design award became a viral moment and generated a lot of buzz online. Many fans were surprised and amused by Cena's entrance. It was unexpected and played on the streaker incident from the 1974 Oscars. Videos and memes quickly circulated on social media platforms. ## The comedic exchange between Cena and Jimmy Kimmel before the award presentation added to the lightheartedness of the moment. Fans appreciated the playful reference to Oscar history and Cena's willingness to poke fun at himself. ## This stunt gave the Oscars a burst of unexpected publicity. News outlets and social media users widely discussed it, keeping the ceremony relevant in online conversations. While many found it humorous, some viewers felt the stunt was inappropriate for the prestigious ceremony. ## While speaking On The Pat McAfee Show, Cena stated the following; ## "I think, I do take it seriously, but I take it seriously not to make myself look cool. Because if you try to look cool all the time, you're just chasing a perfect view of yourself that doesn't exist. Man, I know I got a bald spot on the back of my head. I flossed it last night at WrestleMania, me, you, and like seven out of 10 dudes have them, so I don't care. I'm not perfect. That's not me. So I think instead of trying to craft every situation to how can I look the strongest or the best, I look at every situation about how can we make this the best situation. ## when we go over the Oscar bit and they're like, "Ah, do you want to wear Spanx or spandex or a speedo?" No, make me as naked as possible. So Disney says it's too naked. That's how we go. That's the funny bit. That's the gag. That's why everyone's entertained. Yeah, and I think that's what leads to polarizing opinions, and that's what leads to interest, and people can have that stuff and say like, "Oh, this is this," but it is what it is. It's free for you to decide what you want." ## John Cena's appearance at WrestleMania 40 was indeed a brief one, lasting only about 90 seconds. He interfered in the main event, the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship match between Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns. ## If you use this transcription or any portion of it please credit Sacnilk.com and link to this page ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

John Cena: 'I Will Always Be Part Of The WWE Family, But The Time To Compete In The Ring Has Come To An End'

John Cena's appearance at WrestleMania 40 was indeed a brief one, lasting only about 90 seconds. Here's what went down. He interfered in the main event, the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship match between Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns.## Cena took down Solo Sikoa, a member of Reigns' Bloodline entourage, with a signature move. There was a brief confrontation between Cena and his old rival, The Rock. ## This appearance seemed to be a way to acknowledge Cena's legacy in WWE while putting the spotlight on the current generation of wrestlers. In an interview with Pat McAfee after WrestleMania, Cena stated that he will always be part of the WWE family, but the time to compete in the ring has come to a close. ## "I'll change my shirt, but you guys know that comes with a uniform change. So, last night wasn't my last night. So this doesn't mean this is my last uniform." ## "So it's not tough because of the foundation I laid and the promise I made to each and every person who pays attention and gives of themselves to WWE. When I feel I can no longer perform at the capacity of the product, it is time to step away. That's not tough. The toughest thing is that I love it so much, uh, and you can still do it at a high level. Uh, yeah. So, when that time is gone, that means that it's done. I'm actively trying to craft that path right now. So, uh, I've put a line in the sand for myself for 50, and I honestly think it's going to be before that. ## I'll be 47 in a few weeks, so we got time still. Many are calling this the greatest WrestleMania ever, right? And I agree. What a spectacle, what a fantastic WrestleMania. But that's because of the talent that actually put the time in. I showed up for 90 seconds. This is the greatest WrestleMania, with or without my involvement, and that is because of the superstars we have now and their contribution to the business. It is going to be time soon for me to go, and I'm embracing that and enjoying it. It allows me to be present, don't I? I can say this with the utmost certainty: I will always, always be part of the WWE family, but the time to compete in the ring has come to a close." ## If you use this transcription or any portion of it please credit Sacnilk.com and link to this page. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

Top 5 WWE Raw Moments (4/8): The Rock And Cody Rhodes Face-To-Face, John Cena Returns, Jey Uso Earns Title Shot

The night after WrestleMania XL delivered a jam-packed show, filled with championship celebrations, surprise returns, brutal brawls, and a shocking main event twist. While it might not have reached the epic heights of WrestleMania itself, Raw provided a solid foundation for the upcoming storylines and left fans with plenty to discuss. ## Here are the top 5 moments from the night: ## 1. A New Era Dawns with Cody Rhodes (and The Rock Appears): ## The show kicked off with a heartwarming celebration for the new Undisputed WWE Champion, Cody Rhodes. Triple H introduced Rhodes, who received an ovation from the Philadelphia crowd. A touching video package chronicled Rhodes' journey to the top, culminating in his emotional victory over Roman Reigns.## However, the celebration took a surprising turn with the arrival of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. The crowd's initial excitement quickly turned to boos as The Rock acknowledged Rhodes' victory but then challenged him for the title, hinting at a future showdown between the two legends. While the segment went on for nearly 45 minutes, it effectively planted the seeds for a potential blockbuster match and added intrigue to Rhodes' reign. ## 2. John Cena Makes a Surprise Return: ## One of the biggest pops of the night came when John Cena's music hit during a six-man tag team match. R-Truth, in a hilarious moment, claimed Cena as his invisible partner to even the odds against Judgment Day. The surprise return of the legendary Cena added a layer of excitement to the match and his signature moves alongside Truth and Miz resulted in a feel-good victory for the makeshift trio. This unexpected appearance not only added star power to the show but also left fans wondering if a more permanent return for Cena might be in the cards. ## 3. NXT Makes its Presence Felt: ## The night showcased the future of WWE with call-ups from NXT. Ilja Dragunov, the new NXT Champion, opened the show with an impressive victory over Shinsuke Nakamura. This dominant performance served as a strong introduction to the hard-hitting European wrestler. Additionally, Roxanne Perez, the newly crowned NXT Women's Champion, defeated Indi Hartwell. These victories not only established the dominance of NXT champions but also hinted at a potential future crossover and integration with the main roster. ## 4. Sami Zayn's Intercontinental Title Win and its Aftermath: ## Sami Zayn's emotional victory over Gunther to win the Intercontinental Championship was a feel-good moment for the underdog. His heartfelt speech acknowledging his supporters and even thanking Kevin Owens resonated with the audience. However, the celebration was short-lived as Imperium's Giovanni Vinci and Ludwig Kaiser confronted Zayn. The tension escalated with the arrival of Chad Gable, setting the stage for a potential tag team partnership between Zayn and Gable. Later, Zayn announced a title defense against Gable next week on Raw in Montreal, adding another layer of intrigue to the burgeoning Intercontinental Championship storyline.## 5. CM Punk's Shocking Interference in the No. 1 Contender's Match: ## The main event of the night, a Fatal Four-Way match to determine the number one contender for the World Heavyweight Championship, delivered a chaotic and entertaining encounter. Drew McIntyre, Ricochet, Bronson Reed, and Jey Uso battled it out, showcasing their athleticism and signature moves. The closing moments saw Jey Uso emerge victorious, setting him up for a title shot against Damian Priest. However, the biggest story came after the match.## As McIntyre appeared poised to challenge Punk for his actions at WrestleMania, Punk shockingly emerged from under the ring and tripped McIntyre, allowing Jey Uso to secure the win. This devious act by Punk left fans with a major cliffhanger and hinted at a potentially brutal rivalry between him and McIntyre in the coming weeks. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

Kenny Omega Praises John Cena's Impact On Wrestling; 'I’M A Very Big Proponent Of John Cena'

Despite carving their paths on opposite ends of the professional wrestling landscape – Omega thriving outside WWE and Cena holding the reins as its longtime face – Kenny Omega holds John Cena in high regard. ## During a recent Twitch stream, Omega acknowledged their contrasting careers but accepted his admiration for Cena's achievements. He commended Cena's dedication to the industry, highlighting his work ethic and genuine desire to make a positive impact. ## "He's done an incredible amount for the business," Omega said, specifically praising Cena's efforts beyond the ring, like his Make-A-Wish involvement and fan interactions. Omega views this as the true mark of a leader, someone who prioritizes the well-being of fans and the industry's future. ## "No, I have not [met Cena], but I think he’s great. Great professional wrestler. He’s done an incredible amount for the business, I don’t think anyone will be able to match anytime soon. The reason why is because Cena wasn’t doing anything for the sake of an accomplishment or trophy or recognition. People went out of their way after the fact to say, ‘look at all this stuff John is doing in his off time.’ Maybe he even laughs at it himself, but for the amount of effort he has put in to make people’s lives better, whether it be Make A Wish, fans at the arenas, or autograph signings, it’s a great example for what the face of a company should be or for the face of the industry. I’m a very big proponent of John Cena. I think he’s incredible," said Omega. Transciption via Fightful. ## While Cena hasn't competed since his loss at WWE Crown Jewel 2023, rumors swirl about a potential return at WrestleMania 40. Regardless of his in-ring future, Omega's comments solidify Cena's lasting influence on professional wrestling. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

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.
