Did John Cena get a hair transplant? What we know so far
Image via WWE John Cena may have just won his record-breaking 17th WWE Championship, but it's his candid admission about a personal change that has the internet buzzing. Yes, the wrestling legend confirmed he underwent hair transplant surgery - and fans played a big part in that decision. John Cena confirms hair transplant surgery on live show Appearing on The Pat McAfee Show, the 47-year-old WWE icon got candid about what led him to go under the knife. According to Cena, it wasn't aging or vanity that pushed him - it was years of crowd chants, signs, and online jabs about his bald spot. 'You chant and you make me feel small and you embarrass me,' Cena told the live audience, maintaining his current heel persona. 'That is straight-up bullying... Thank you for bullying me into getting surgical hair replacement.' Cena confirmed the surgery took place in November 2024 and described it as a 'work in progress.' Explaining the process, he said, 'You take the lawn over here [pointing to the side of his head] and you put it on the dry spot.' The audience laughed, but Cena's message was clear: public scrutiny had taken a toll. The WWE Universe had long speculated about Cena's receding hairline, especially during big events like the Royal Rumble earlier this year. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Poznate kao najudobnije cipele za hodanje KUPI ODMAH Undo Cena admitted that signs mocking his hairline and fans shouting during matches pushed him to make the decision.

'I just saw it on so many bald spot signs. And that's the thing, when you get [surgery], your hair falls out because the new ones have to grow. So the old one falls out,' he said while turning to the crowd. 'And you guys, by the way, thank you for being so aware of my needs and emotions, because you guys ripped me to shreds for a genetic problem that I can't control.' The 'Suicide Squad' actor underwent the transplant surgery in November. 'This isn't cool. You guys aren't cool to me. Why do you think I did it?' he continued. 'I'm in the [Royal Rumble] trying to win and [fans ask], 'How's the bald spot?' Like, that's not fair. I can't control that.'
