John Cena Shaves Head Again Ahead of Second Round of FUE Hair Treatment

John Cena is embracing the bald look — at least for now. The sixteen-time world champion took to social media on Monday, June 29, posting a photo of his freshly shaved head and revealing that he is undergoing a second round of FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) treatment. In the post, Cena also gave a shoutout to Ken Anderson, who has been public about his own experience with the procedure.

FUE is a hair restoration technique in which individual follicles are harvested and transplanted to thinning or balding areas. The scalp typically needs to be shaved prior to the procedure, which explains Cena’s dramatically different look in the photo he shared with fans.

Cena, who dubbed himself the ‘Last Real Champion’ in the post, has never been shy about engaging directly with his fanbase on social media, and this update was no different — combining a candid personal health moment with a nod to a fellow wrestling veteran. Anderson, a former WWE and TNA champion, has spoken openly in the past about undergoing similar hair restoration work, making him a natural person for Cena to acknowledge.

It’s a relatively low-key moment in what has been an eventful period for Cena, who announced earlier this year that 2025 would mark his final run as an in-ring performer before retiring from professional wrestling. With his retirement tour underway, even a social media post about a medical procedure carries a certain weight — a reminder that the most recognizable face in WWE history is very much still in the spotlight, whatever hair he has on his head.
