John Cena Reveals Why He Grew Facial Hair, Talks WWE Return

Wrestling fans are seeing less and less of John Cena nowadays as he spends his time away from the ring focusing on his acting career.

However, Cena still returns for big events such as WrestleMania and the Greatest Royal Rumble, but at this point it’s not known when he will be wrestling again.

The 16 time WWE World Heavyweight Champion is making the most of his opportunities at the moment, but he recently told ESPN that he’ll be back in the ring as soon as he gets some downtime.

“I’m far from done with the WWE,” Cena said. “The WWE will always be my home, but in this current state of affairs right now with all this extra cool stuff that’s going on, it’s fun to try. It’s a great time to be able to take a chance and I’m so eternally grateful to the WWE and its audience for bringing me to this point. I realize I’d be nowhere without them and I never forget them. I promise as soon as I have any sort of downtime, like I had when I was at the Greatest Royal Rumble and the string of shows I did before WrestleMania, anytime free time I get will not be free, it will be spent at my home in the WWE.”

John Cena has been a very hot topic as of late thanks to his engagement with Nikki Bella getting called off, and he’s been spending time out in public meeting new people as a way to clear his mind.

Pictures of Cena meeting fans have been surfacing online, and people couldn’t help but notice that Cena was sporting facial hair for a few days.

John finally opened up about the facial hair, and he noted that he wanted to make sure it looked ok in case he needs to grow facial hair for any upcoming roles.

“I’ve just been put in a peculiar place recently where I’m challenging myself to do things I’ve never done before,” Cena said. “I’ve never grown facial hair. I had a few days free, but I since shaved it off before I did the “Today” show. I’m clean shaven and I’ll probably go clean shaven from here on out, but I have some projects coming up that might have called for a look like that and I wanted to make sure before we did it that it was possible and it looked OK.”
