The wrestling icon turned actor John Cena gets candid about his hair transplant journey, hit show Peacemaker, and how he’s adjusting to life after WWE.

Cena Talks Candidly About His Hair Transplant

August 6, 2025: John Cena is known for his larger-than-life persona in the WWE ring, but in a new exclusive interview, the 16-time world champion showed fans a more vulnerable side. Opening up about undergoing a hair transplant, Cena admitted it wasn’t an easy decision. “I’ve always been confident,” he shared, “but hair loss was tough. It affected the way I saw myself.”

The procedure, he said, gave him a confidence boost—not just for red carpets, but for himself. “It was a personal choice. I wanted to feel good looking in the mirror,” Cena added.

‘Peacemaker’ Season 2 & His Growing Acting Career

Cena’s transition from wrestling to acting has been seamless, with the HBO Max series Peacemaker cementing his status as a leading man. Filming for Season 2 recently wrapped, and Cena teased fans can expect “more chaos, more laughs, and a deeper look into Peacemaker’s soul.”

He credited director James Gunn for trusting him with such a layered character. “It’s not just explosions and jokes—there’s real emotional weight this season,” Cena noted.

Saying Goodbye to the WWE Ring (For Now)

When asked about WWE, Cena was honest: “I’ll always be part of that world, but I’m learning to live outside of it.” While he hasn’t ruled out an occasional return, Cena confirmed he’s focused on new chapters, both professionally and personally.

“WWE gave me everything,” he said. “But it’s time to explore who I am without the entrance music and championship belts.”

What’s Next for Cena?

From producing to potential directing, Cena is eager to stay behind the camera as much as in front of it. “I love storytelling,” he shared. “It’s how I connected with fans in WWE, and now it’s how I’m connecting on screen.”

Whether he’s saving the world as Peacemaker or being his rawest self in interviews, Cena continues to evolve—and fans are here for it.
