A-list actor and newly crowned Undisputed WWE champion John Cena confirmed that he underwent a hair transplant because of the "bullying" of fans.

Cena, 47, who defeated Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 41 to win his record 17th world title, admitted to undergoing the procedure during an appearance on the Pat McAfee Show Monday (April 21), credited the fans in his new heel persona by stating, "I listen to you idiots, I do."

"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," Cena said. "There is no shame in that. I have a problem, I try to fix it. I'm not going to tell you who did it because I'm still waiting for it to get better. Once it's better and I get the long flowing locks, I'll be like, 'Go to this guy.' I'm working on it. Work in progress. I just saw so many bald spots signs. 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. '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."
