Behind-The-Scenes Photos Reveal If John Cena Was Really Naked Onstage At The Oscars
At the Oscars, John Cena and Jimmy Kimmel performed a comedy bit where Cena appeared to be naked on stage, covering himself with an envelope, while presenting this year's best costume design nominees.
The gag was meant to be a reference to a streaking incident that had actually occurred during the 46th Oscars in 1974. Since the viral moment, behind-the-scenes photos have revealed that Cena was indeed naked... mostly.

Wearing just a wrap that covered his genitals, producers quickly rushed onstage during a video break to dress him in curtains, yet another nod to Oscar's past, a nod to the famous "Gone With The Wind" dress also made out of curtains.
Indeed, while Cena's wrap didn't leave much to the imagination, this hasn't stopped the internet and some QAnon believers from picturing this as an orchestrated "humiliation ritual" conducted by Hollywood.
To put it briefly, QAnon alleges that Democratic leaders and Hollywood elites are secretly involved in child sex trafficking and consume a substance called adrenochrome for its alleged life-extending properties. In Cena's case, conspiracy theorists believe he agreed to be "humiliated" as a means of being initiated into this secret society.
