John Cena Reveals He Got Hair Transplant Surgery After ‘Bullying’ from Fans

John Cena revealed he got hair transplant surgery after WWE fans “bullied” him about his “bald spot.”

“You chant and you make me feel small and you embarrass me,” Cena, 47, told the WWE World crowd while appearing on the Pat McAfee Show on Monday morning. “Y’all don’t know what that’s like. That is straight-up bullying. That’s just not cool. I don’t like it.”

“So, thank you for bullying me into getting surgical hair replacement. That’s how far y’all push me.”

Cena’s revelation came one day after winning his record-breaking 17th WWE Championship at WrestleMania in Las Vegas.

During the interview, Cena largely remained in his “heel” character, a term used in professional wrestling to indicate a “bad guy.”

“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.”

Male androgenetic alopecia is the most common form of hair loss in men, affecting 30-50% of men by age 50, the National Institutes of Health states.

Explaining the transplant process in simple terms, Cena said, “You have to take the [hair] from the side and plant them in on the top. You take the lawn over here and you put it on the dry spot. It just takes a while for it to come in. It’s coming in, man. It’s coming. Hopefully, in a couple of months, it looks better.”

Once that happens, the Ricky Stanicky star hopes to let his hair flow. \
