John Cena Claims WWE Fans Bullied Him Into Getting a Hair Transplant

John Cena himself has been aware of his bald spot for a long time now and many fans have made fun of him for that exact that for years. With that said, it appears Cena has now confirmed he underwent a hair transplant for his bald spot.

While speaking on the Pat McAfee Show, John Cena confirmed he got a hair transplant to address his bald spot. He said he can’t grow facial hair and hasn’t shaved in ten years, joking that he hopes some of the hair will grow on top of his head instead. He admitted he had something done and that it’s starting to come in.

Cena explained the process involves taking hair from the sides and moving it to the top, comparing it to moving lawn from one area to a dry patch. It takes time, but he’s hopeful that in a few months it’ll look better. He even joked about wanting to grow his hair out long like Ricky Stanicky, though he still can’t grow a full mustache, just a patch.

“Dude, I can’t grow facial hair. I haven’t shaved in ten years. Alright, can I get some of it on top? Dude, it’s coming in. Yeah, I did do something for my bald spot. Yeah, I did! It’s coming in!

The secret? You have to take the ones from the side and plant them on the top. You take the lawn over here and you put it on the dry spot—it just takes a while to come in. It’s coming in, man. Hopefully in a couple of months it looks better. I’m going out with huge, long hair like Ricky, hopefully. But I can’t grow a mustache. I’ll grow a patch right here.”

Cena said there’s no shame in it. He had a problem and decided to fix it. He’s not revealing who performed the procedure yet because it’s still a work in progress. Once the results improve, he’ll happily recommend the person.

Cena also talked about the recovery process. After the procedure in November 2024, his hair started falling out in January and February, which is normal since the new growth has to replace the old. He joked that he became “half a skinhead” during that time. He ended by thanking people for being so aware of his situation, although he noted that fans tore him apart over a genetic issue he couldn’t control.

“There’s another headline for you—hair transplant, look at that. There’s no shame in that, man. I got a problem, I try to fix it. That’s what I’m doing. I’m not gonna tell you who did it ’cause I’m waiting for it to get better. Once it gets better and I got the long flowing locks, I’ll be like, ‘Yo, go to this guy.’ Work in progress.

I just saw so many bald spot signs. So when you get it—like, when you get the deal, right?—your hair falls out so the new ones have to grow. So the old ones fall out. So in January, February—I had it in November—so that’s when I became half a skinhead up here.

By the way, thank you for being so aware of my needs, because you guys ripped me to shreds for a genetic problem that I can’t control. It happens to seven out of ten dudes. One of you sons of bitches could’ve pulled me to the side. In unison, you chant and make me feel small and embarrass me. Y’all don’t know what that’s like. That is straight-up bullying and not cool. Thank you for bullying me into getting surgical hair replacement. That’s how far y’all pushed me.”

Hair transplants are becoming more popular with both celebrities and regular people. John Cena’s honest and open attitude about it helps take the shame out of something many find personal or embarrassing. Therefore, Cena’s fans are happy that he finally decided to get the transplant for his own good.
