WWE Superstar John Cena has made a stunning admission about undergoing hair transplant last November after seeing signs among spectators in WWE about signs that said 'The bald John Cena;. However, the veteran conceded that he would've got the transplant a decade ago if there wasn't so much shame attached to it.
One of the most decorated WWE superstars of all time, Cena has won the World Championship a record 17 times and emerged victorious in the Royal Rumble on two occasions. He has also headlined Wrestlemania on multiple occasions and his merchandises have garnered attraction world wide.
Speaking to The People Magazine, the 17-time world champion acknowledged that he has to take certain supplements now to prevent hair fall.
"As I was trying to hide my hair loss, the audience was bringing it to light. I saw their signs that said ‘The bald John Cena.' They pushed me into going to see what my options were and actually do some homework to learn about scalp health, hair health, follicle health. I now have a routine: red-light therapy, minoxidil, vitamins, shampoo, conditioner and I also got a hair transplant."
"Hate the fact that if there wasn’t so much shame around it, I’d have gotten it done 10 years ago" - John Cena
Cena also suggested that there is plenty of stigma around the idea of hair transplant, adding:
"I hate the fact that if there wasn’t so much shame around it, I’d have gotten it done 10 years ago. I thought I was alone, but seven or eight out of 10 [men] suffer from thinning or baldness. There's definitely a lot of folks out there that are wearing that blanket of shame where, man, maybe you don't want to shave your head. And if this resonates with anybody out there and they're like, 'Man, I'd like to research that too,' then cool."
The 47-year-old is likely to retire from in-ring competition in December 2025.
