During a candid appearance on the Pat McAfee Show, John Cena addressed the noticeable changes in his hairline, confirming that he underwent a hair transplant procedure partly due to relentless fan comments.
When Michael Cole asked about his improving hair, Cena quipped, “You have to take the ones from the side and plug them in on top. It just takes a while to come in. It’s coming in. Hopefully, in a couple of months, it looks better. There’s another headline. Hair transplant. There is no shame in that. I have a problem, I try to fix it.”
He mentioned the procedure took place in November of last year. Cena then revealed the surprising motivation behind his decision, directly addressing the WWE fanbase.
“I just saw so many bald spots signs,” Cena stated. “You get the deal, and your hair falls out because the new ones have to grow, so the old ones fall out. January, February, I had it in November. That’s when I came half a skinhead. Thank you for being so aware of my needs and emotions. You guys ripped me to shreds for genetic problem that I can’t control. 1 ‘You don’t look good enough out there.’ You guys aren’t cool to me. I’m in the Rumble trying to win. ‘Man has a bald spot.’ That’s not fair. I can’t control that. 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.”
