6 WWE Superstars who were told to change their appearance

#3 WWE veteran John Cena

Vince McMahon did not like John Cena's hair

John Cena will go down as one of the most successful Superstars in WWE history, but his start to life on WWE’s main roster did not go according to plan.

On the day of his debut match against Kurt Angle on a June 2002 episode of WWE SmackDown, Cena was introduced to Vince McMahon for the first time in the WWE Chairman's office.

As Cena recalled in an interview on WWE’s website, McMahon did not like his new Superstar’s blonde hair and he instructed him to immediately get a haircut.

“They literally dragged me by the arm to Vince’s office, threw me in and asked him, ‘What do you think?’ I had ridiculously ugly, long, super-dyed blonde hair that was shaved bald on the sides. He turned around and with a disgusted look on his face, he said, ‘Cut his hair,’ and I was whisked away from Vince like an assembly line.”

Cena said McMahon was “disgusted” to look at him before his appearance change, even though the 16-time WWE World Champion felt that his new haircut was “equally as horrible”.
